We spent a weekend in November at Bodega Bay with Dave's family. Grandma and Grandpa rented a house where we could walk to the beach. It was a fun and relaxing time. Although Dave didn't take too many pictures, I guess he was busy relaxing.

Emma Colette turned 18 months

2011-09-26T20:41:00.000-07:00

Emma turned 18 months she also turned 19 months last week. She is so cute right now, really she is adorable. Dave and I have to comment on how cute she is every day. She still like to drink milk, she likes Penny at Bedtime, she likes her thumb, strawberry shortcake the movie and the ipad. She wants to do everything Kate does. She has soo many words right now and my favorite word she says right now is "Oh" because she says it after you tell her something and it gives you the impression she understands everything you just said even if she doesn't. She loves pushing strollers and shopping carts, calling Charlie, walking Charlie, the swings and the slide. We love our Emma Colette.

We went camping last weekend with the Pulsifers and the Bernardinis it was a fun time, with three large dogs and six children under the age of five how could you not have fun? I loved watching the kids running around playing so hard enjoying the lazy days of summer, to contrast that I also loved sitting around the campfire at 7:00 with all adults, all adult drinks, s'mores, and adult conversation for a good four hours. I love camping.

Playing on the astro turf. Adalie decided to start crawling the weeks before we went camping.

Dave's bike makeover. He made wooden fenders, and a wooden handle, spray painted, metal grinded and recovered an old seat.

So we got a new charger we lost it after Christmas...But apparently we are out of the habit of taking pictures because after a weekend away we only documented a trip to Shady...maybe we were just tired. But no pictures of either of the parties we attended this weekend.

I I wish I had a picture of Dave's face when he opened his ipad from the Bernardini fam. He was thoroughly confused to say the least. Mark got and ipad delivered to his house Christmas Eve night from his boss and since he already had one he generously decided to give it to Dave....generous best friend!

Dave went to a work party tonight in the city. I hate not having him home for dinner and relaxing with him after the girls go down, but the girls and I had fun eating yogurt and playing with "donkey baby" and a cow named "Kate" (all parts of our new nativity found at the antique fair on Sunday)

Emma turned 8 months this week. We love her so much she smiles all day long. And is so alert. She seems to have an old soul and she gives this look that makes you think she really knows what is going on. Her first tooth is coming in and she is soldier crawling all around still in dust mop fashion...making me wish I had clean floors.

Dave's Birthday Weekend

2010-09-17T08:13:00.001-07:00

We started out birthday weekend with cupcakes from Kara's and our favorite pizza for dinner with sierra nevadas. Then the next morning he went for a massage and coffee all by himself. Around 1:30 the Frenches got here and around 2:00 Dennis and Chris arrived and we headed to the park to hang out with all the wonderful kids we have, then back to the house for hamburgers and dessert. Then the next day we celebrated with just our family we were scheduled to go to Santa Cruz but then Dave decided he wanted to take Kate to fairyland so we took the girls to Oakland for the day.
