Bye Grandpa and Susan...

Grandpa Barry and Susan spent a few fun days in San Francisco. Lila especially loved listening to Barry read stories and showing him around the Excelsior. It was a very special week - thanks for coming + safe travels back to Oz! xo

more scenes from halloween

Lila and Harper had a big party with the Excelsior Family Center on Friday, which ended with some early tricker treating...Tonight Lila was happy to pass out candy to all the "picker peaters"....

boo!

fun with the "big girls"

just back from a freezing but fun weekend in bend, oregon. We were there for Emily's wedding + got to spend a lot of time with the Storey family. Lila and Harper loved hanging out with Audrey and Ava...we miss you girls already! xo

bed bugs...cute but getting bigger by the day

little birdy tries to fly...

lila jumps,hops,bounces and enjoys every minute...

...of her friend Kaitlyn's birthday party at Pump It Up - a wonderland of giant blow up structures...think jumping castles on steroids. If that wasn't enough the partiers ended the afternoon with pizza - Lila had three pieces!

sunday morning ear nibbles...karl doesn't mind

excelsior street festival

face painting, jumping castle, balloons, ice cream, amazing mexican food....ahhh we love our 'hood.

your average Saturday?

Harper had the last of her 6th month shots today. There were two. She didn't even flinch - seriously - not one yelp, cry or wince. Not sure where she gets her super human strength, but we know her sister has it too.

Next stop was Chuck E. Cheese to celebrate Frankie Lim's 4th birthday. Lila found a wild piece of paradise - she high-fived Chuck E., sang and especially enjoyed watching the robotic characters in the band....at one point the part of the stage she was sitting on started moving + it took her backstage (very scooby doo!) to reveal Chuck E. Luckily a Chuck E. employee saved her...she has re-lived this story at least 50 times today.

Finally this funny picture. This was taken while Lila was 'rowing to outer space.' And we thought Chuck E. was an adventure!

Harper's first passport photo

one step closer to adventures, Harper posed for her first passport today. She pulled her most cosmopolitan pose for the pic.
