A Break from Project Granny Flat

Although most of the weekend was spent doing chores and cleaning out the granny flat, we did enjoy a lovely evening with the Kellicas & Porter, and old neighbors Mark, Jean, & Ryan.

The Babe and Ryan doing a performance (yes, topless):


Yes, she did this on her own:


Having fun looking out the front window:


And climbing through the tunnel:


The Babe also loved having "Pebble" over for a slumber party:


Pebble and Gumbo both got brushed A LOT:

The Hair Fairy Strikes Again

It had been a while since the Babe came home from school with one of her fancy hairdos, but the other day she did us proud:

Daddy Gets a Pedi

The Babe decided that Daddy deserved a pedicure too, so she got busy and painted his nails a nice shimmery pink.




Look at Daddy's toes, how PRETTY!

"Googoo eyes"

The Babe does her side look to her doggie with the "googoo" eyes

The Best Mama...

in the whole wide world!

Happy Mother's Day

Today was Mother's Day so we first headed to the park to have a "camping breakfast" with John, Eve, and Ecco.

Breakfast time - John bought each of the mamas a real lei.


"Flying" on the swings




Our friend Carl was there with his son Brooks to play golf and ride bikes. Of course, the Babe and Ecco each wanted a turn and Brooks was nice enough to share.

Golfing




The girls found the water fountain and had fun "watering" the plants


After breakfast, John and I took the girls to the zoo so Eve and Mama could do whatever they wanted (turned out to be a pedicure and some shopping). After a good nap, it was off to the pool at the Joan Kroc Center. The Babe is getting really used to the water.





I think the Babe had as much fun as Mama had on Mother's Day. I bet she can't wait for Father's Day!

Izzy Gillespie

The Babe is fond of puffing her cheeks out and I recently showed her a pic of Dizzy Gillespie:



Now she makes this face whenever I say "Izzy Gillespie":
