Big smiles are pretty regular around here... thank goodness!

Father's Day 2008

Momma: "Hey Lila Bean, let's get Daddy something he really wants and loves for Daddy's Day."

Lila: "Daadeeeee? MeeeeOwww? Bye-Bye?"

Momma: "Nah, we have to keep the cat. Let's get him the next best thing."

Easy enough. Daddy's own bucket of beer.

Daddy's best friend - followed by pizza at Zachary's.

I think it was a nice day for Eric despite not getting a bike ride in that morning.

Beer, Zachary's pizza, and a happy little girl who loves her Daddy...

just a few things that would make any man smile.

Happy Father's Day, Eric.

Thanks for being the best Dad ever!!

Check or Carry-On?

With the airlines charging extra for checked luggage, we must weigh the benefits of buying Lila her own seat on the plane. Her and Bear look awfully comfy here. Hmmm...

Lost Pics from GG & Poppa's Visit...

GG & Poppa came to visit us in April. These are a few pictures we took at the Berkeley Marina. Lila loved this park. There must have been a hundred kites in the sky - of course I don't have any pictures to prove it!

Memorial Day at the Delta

Thank GOD for the Beyer Family! Ever since Eric met Dave (some ten years ago), we have been lucky enough enjoy his little house on the water every summer. We love the Delta! We took Lila for her first time this past Memorial Day weekend. The weather stunk, but we still managed to have a great time. Good company, food, beer and lots of puppies running around. It doesn't get much better. Thanks Art & Linda!!

Goldfish?

Not a bad view.

Jack London Square

We had both sets of Grandparents in town the last two weekends. Lila got double the dose of attention from Grandma and GG. She's a lucky little girl!

Lila shaking it to "My Green Kite". She has lots of moves, but spinning is her latest number.

Crayons

Okay - so we tried crayons this afternoon and it didn't work out. Evidently, crayons taste better to Lila than the lunch she refused to eat today. Go figure. I learned that getting green wax out of tiny, sharp molars is very dangerous.

Olivia

The Neyman's returned to SF for a visit. Before they moved to Denver, we would have met up at the bar for our little reunion. Of course, that was prior to our current "baby is boss" lifestyle. Now we have little girls that detonate in public. So, the Jacobi's hosted our baby-friendly 5pm happy hour. We were very excited to introduce Lila and Samantha to

Little Miss Olivia Cutie Pie Neyman from CO.

Olivia, Lila & Samantha... pre-detonation but growing more annoyed by us paparazzi.

So Long Easter Bunny...

but the ears can stay for a while longer.

The Hicks' Easter Sunday

This was Lila's second Easter but we like to think of it as her first. Last year, she was only three months old afterall! She got dolled up in a DRESS and even put a BARRETTE in her hair! We were very proud. The Easter Bunny sent a special basket for Lila - it was actually her mommy's basket when she was a little girl. Funny how that Easter Bunny knows his stuff. We should probably thank GG for filling him in. The basket was loaded with crackers, socks, a new outfit, books, crayons and even a bathing suit. She was pretty impressed, but the confetti string seemed to make her smile the most.
