End of September Photo

I will be out of town for the next several days with no access to a computer so here is the "end of the month" photo a little early. :)

A Sweet Friend and a Sugary SWEET Birthday

My dear friend Emily celebrated her birthday yesterday but the actual day is tomorrow~Happy 31st Ems! We all ate Italian gilato, chocolates and sipped hot chocolate until we were high on sugar! It was a very sweet evening indeed. As long as I'm blogging about my friend Emily I will invite you to visit her website http://www.littleoranges.com/ for some divine stationary/invitations, etc. Also, on a more serious note, if you are financially able and feel compelled to give, her husband recently had his hand amputated due to cancer and we are trying to raise funds for a prosthetic hand for Manish. Here is the link you can cut & paste into your browser http://www.whatsleftisright.com/ ~the goal is $50,000. Love you Ems and Manish!

Just Another Day at the Park...

Brennan and I went to the park today and had lots of fun. The pictures below (other than the first one) tell a story, enjoy!

Cutie


Okay, so much to Adam's and my chagrin Brennan loves dogs...every time they are around she is entranced and giggles uncontrollably, its quite cute actually. Any hoo, from the pics you can see Brennan spot the dog, then the dog comes closer for a quick meeting and then Brennan is crawling after the dog when he leaves and then it hits her, he's gone, where'd he go?!

A Weekend in San Fran

In keeping with tradition we headed up to NoCal this weekend to go to our yearly Duck game with Doug, Kemi and Mike. This was our third time in San Fran for the Duck game and each time I love it more and more! We had a great time visiting Fishermans Warf, taking the (very crowded) trolley, strolling by the water, shopping, eating and of course cheering on the victorious Ducks! The weekend always goes way too fast but what a great time and tradition.

That's the Golden Gate Bridge back there!

Go Oregon Ducks!

Our annual Duck game! The Ducks played Stanford and thankfully the Ducks won! We left the game a few minutes early as we were winning 55-31 and it was about 4 hours past Brennan's bed time! She was a trooper though and we had a great time as always. I'm sure this is the first of many Duck games for our little girl.

I Left My Heart in San Francisco

Our last day in San Fran, of course we shopped 'til we dropped! Brennan decked out in her pink cashmere set from auntie Lauren...how appropriate for a day shopping in SF! I love this city!



Nothing like carrying your luggage thru downtown SF to make you feel like a tourist!

Dashing Divas

For Jodi's birthday she wanted her best gal friends to join her for mani/pedis at Dashing Divas nail salon. It was a lovely evening of wine, cosmos, brie, and girl talk. All the girlies had a great time celebrating Jodi and getting pampered! Happy birthday Jod!

Happy 1st Birthday Micaiah!

Micaiah turned 1 yesterday! We are unable to go to his big birthday bash this weekend as we'll be out of town, so we got to join the immediate family on the actual day to celebrate! Happy birthday Micaiah, we love you!!!
