The Real OC

Daddy, Aunt Koko, Aunt Koko's friend Annika, the Babe and I spent last Saturday in Newport Beach/Corona del Mar. The Babe had a lot of fun talking to the topiary dolphins and playing in the grass.

Izzy's new "belt"

One of the Babe's favorite things to do is to "help" us with the laundry by going through it and spreading it all over the house. She also likes to wear some of mama and daddy's clothes. Here she is with her new "belt" (Daddy's knee brace).




What, you mean it's not really a belt?

Water Baby

One of the days that the Babe's daycare was closed, Daddy took the Babe to the beach to brave the coooold Pacific. Here she is getting ready.

This suit was a wee bit too small....



...so she went with the poofy one instead.


(she really was happier than she looks in it ;-))

Preppin' the Crop

Daddy got busy in the garden and planted a bunch of stuff: tomatoes, cantaloupe, yellow squash, sugar snap peas, green beans, basil, and bok choy. Spinach & lettuce to come too!

Meanwhile, the Babe has learned how to climb up the deck and get around the yard on her own.

Mama and Izzy went in support despite the 100 degree heat and NO shade.



AFTER: you people can use a shower!!


but in the meantime, Aunt Seiko attempts to cool Izzy down on her own

Shoes don't look so hot now...is that a sock I see breaking through the front of your shoe?




The Babe second guesses whether being soaked is really so fun after all...

First Heat Wave of 2008

It was HOT in San Diego this weekend, so the Babe resorted to an old fashioned method of staying cool...running through the sprinkler!

Just Loungin'...

Now that it's really warm out, we've been spending more and more time out in the backyard. The Babe likes sitting in her own chair, like a big girl.

"So Daddy, do you think I should have avocado or tofu for dinner? or BOTH?"
