American Girl

Since we will be in San Diego for her 4th birthday we had a special day and early little celebration with Bebe at... American Girl! We saw a catalog way back in January and she remembered everything she saw - even remembered the names of one of the toy dogs "Sugar" and, of course, knew exactly which dolly was the best for her - Rebecca, the New Yorker from 1914. Bebe has a friend who works there who hooked us up with a special tour and made sure we had a great time which we surely did. Lucky American Girls, all... After we headed back to Granpops and Bebe's apartment for a few rounds of hiding pennies. Love you guys.

Pink Blossom Trees!

Emmett, you have been in our heads for the last two weeks! For those of you "in the know" go back and listen to track number 12 "How To Be Happy" on your Dreyer Family Band CD.




The flipside to those beautiful trees were that all of us had wicked allergies.
Finley and I got it so bad we required doctor visits. Luckily we found this stuff
from Hyland's which works and is SO much better than Benadryl.

Easter 2011

I am a week late posting this but that's just the way this cookie crumbles;) The Easter Bunny did come to 157 Garfield. In fact, he left the basket in the "shower" and a couple eggs in each room. He also left all the colored eggs in the backyard. Then he hopped on up to the park and hid some there too! We missed seeing Grandpops and Bebe, in fact we didn't even see Craig and there was no official Easter Dinner but all in all it was a Great Day!

I dearly love the sleepy hunting face.

We scooted up to the park for Park Slope Parents Egg Hunt

They would send everyone out in small groups...

Izzy and Finn hunting full force

Totally fun hunting with strange strangers

The cherry blossoms waaay across the park.

Me, Finn and the Brown family

A long, fun day in the park - perfect.


On the walk home on our block... This woman was born on Easter sunday. Wow!
