A Busy Week!

We have been up to quite a lot this week!

Sunday, April 14

We went into the city to have Dim Sum at a Chinese restaurant with Hawley's friends and family. It was nice to spend more time with her California contingency!

Monday, April 15

Hawley made us enchiladas! It was lovely to have a homemade meal in my kitchen that is a little different than what Will and I typically make! And the best part is that with the leftovers she made us tortilla soup to put in the freezer for a ready-made dinner later on.

Tuesday, April 16 - Wednesday, April 17

Jim and Hawley took some time to do things on their own, and allow Will and I to keep to a somewhat regular schedule since we both still had to work. Hawley made us spaghetti dinner on Wednesday, and during the week we've played a lot of boardgames like Sequence and Clue!

Thursday, April 18

Remember when I raved about the dinner that Will, Margaretta, and I had at Burma Superstar during her visit here? Well, of course we had to let Will's parents in on the goodness as well! So tonight we put in our time waiting outside (only about forty-five minutes this time!) and had one of the best dinners ever! Again! Will's parents agreed!

Friday, April 19

Will was able to get the day off work, but I had to stick to my regular schedule.  Before I headed into work we stopped for a quick lunch at The Olde Depot down the street from Will's office. The three of them dropped me off at work before they headed back to Will's office so Jim and Hawley could check out the place. Then they went and explored Treasure Island including the history there from the Pacific War and a winery tasting room at a former brig of a naval base.

Later that night I met the three of them at The Lake Chalet on Lake Merrit for some drinks and appetizers.


From there we went to the Loring Cafe here in Oakland so that Will's parents could see the new location of our beloved Loring Pasta Bar from Minneapolis!

We had a lovely evening to end our busy week and we were able to plan our last few days together over delicious food.

Happy Halloween!

Image
Even though last year was technically Adeline's first Halloween, this year felt like the first true Halloween because we got to go out and enjoy the festivities! The Temescal Business District hosted a Trick-or-Treating event for the kids and had fun activities along the way like free books from the library, story time, a dance party at the yoga studio, costume contests, and more I'm sure but we only made it a few blocks! We had a great time and the businesses were so generous and kind to the kids. Our little ladybug! She would only wear the wings from her costume, but she held on to the wand and headband. There was a fun skirt, too but she didn't want anything to do with it. Oh well. People still thought she was cute! Getting some raisins. Still trying to understand the concept of Trick-or-Treating! Dance party at the yoga studio. Aunt Mary's Cafe made fresh baked "Witches Fingers." Adeline loved hers but we got stuck in the B...

Happy Birthday Will!

Image
No, today isn't Will's actual birthday, it's June 10th, but he is going to be in Hawai`i for a work trip, so we celebrated a little bit early today and made it into his birthday! Continuing with the theme of exploring new places with this beautiful weather, I drove Will out to Stinson Beach and Bolinas for the day. It's about an hour away, and again, thanks to being up early with Adeline, we pulled in and got a great parking spot right before the rush. It was such a gorgeous (but very windy, as in curvy, not strong wind) road! We started our day with brunch on the patio at Breaker's Cafe. We walked around the "town," all one block of it, and saw that there was live music at the other restaurant across the street, Sand Dollar Restaurant. (Yep, two restaurants!) We grabbed a seat and a drink and soaked up the beautiful weather. Adeline loved the music! And she even got a super cute onesie from one of the waitstaff! So cute she's getting free things ...

Play Time!

Our friends Nate and Emily gifted us this wonderful play gym that Adeline just loves! Today was her first day playing on it and she had such a good time holding on to and playing with the animals, watching the mobile on top and listening to the music, and even got in a little tummy time! Here's a video for you to click on:
