Water, Water Everywhere

Between the bath and the pool and the beach (alas, no rain) these kids are in the water all the time! And they love it.

First, Quinn enjoys bath time:

Next we have Dillon and BFF Millie Mills hanging at the community pool:

Millie in midair!

And finally both girls in their own pool:

Blast off!

Mini pool for mini kid.

Around Town on a Summer's Day

When my parents visited over the summer, we managed to spend the day in Balboa Park. Dillon took a ballet summer camp and Quinn, my mom and I enjoyed the sculptures.

Us in front of Niki de St. Phalle's gator.

She was really excited about the pine needles.

Off to lunch and burger lounge.

And then a little ice cream.

Quinn was pretty excited about lunch.

Birthday Party Round-up: BIllie Ann and Kiersten

More birthday fun! This time we traveled to Jamul for Billie Ann's bash and later to Balboa Park for Kiersten's fairy scavenger hunt. Dillon is lucky to have so many sweet friends!


We also had so much fun hunting for fairies in Balboa Park with Kiersten!

Relaxing at the park.

Our favorite moment at Billie Ann's birthday was Dillon playing peekaboo with Quinn--who thinks her sister is pretty darn funny!

An Apple a Day...

We drove up to Julian one day to pick some apples. It was nice to be out in the country, away from the hustle and bustle of the city...along with 1,000 other people who had the exact same idea. In other words, it was crowded! But still fun. Dillon ate A LOT of apples that day. A LOT.

Must be something interesting on the ground.

Apple 5 of 25.

Where's Craig's hat?

Pretty countryside.

Serious about food, as always.

Hugs!

"Tickling" the Ivories

Quinn's style of playing is more pounding than tickling, but the family band is coming together nicely!

Food. Now.

As Quinn's godfather likes to say: this kid has never missed a meal. Quinn loves to eat and here's some proof:

Nom Nom.

Carbo loading.

Plus a quick video of Quinn feeding herself spaghetti-O's (with a little musical accompaniment from Dillon).

Splashy Times at the Park

As you may know, life in San Diego is tough. There's so much sun and water everywhere...ugh. We recently had to spend an entire day at the waterfront park by the marina for the annual daycare picnic and for a birthday party. As you can see, the girls hated it.

Girl time.

Sun protection is a must!

Soccer time with Karim.

Hanging with BFF Lulu.

So happy in the water.

Also so happy in the water!
