Babies Who Brunch

We finally feel all settled in to our new home and instead of spending the weekends unpacking and doing odd jobs around the house, we are getting out and about and re-exploring Oakland and the whole Bay Area. The weather has also turned beautifully sunny and warm. This morning we went out to brunch and it went so well we stopped at two places! Things were pretty quiet since it's Memorial Day weekend so there was no waiting for tables and service was speedy. Not to mention that we were up and at `em pretty early with baby in tow. Plus this little babe was a champ and either hung out peacefully or slept!

Our first stop was Chow on Piedmont. We had yummy salmon, egg, and veggie dishes and delicious coffee!



By the time we were done it was only about 11am, so it was on to the next place - Barlago. Little girl slept the whole time while Will and I sat on the patio overlooking the lake, thoroughly enjoying life back in Oakland. We had some beverages and french toast for brunch dessert!

The rest of the morning we walked around the lake, through the neighborhood shops, and stopped at a cute little wine bar. It was such a beautiful day we couldn't get enough of it. After our Sunday funday we ran a few errands before heading home. I'm so happy that we can finally enjoy Oakland and our little family time!

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:
