Aunt Christina is visiting!

We've had a great week. Aunt Christina is visiting us from Portland. It's been great for me (Emily) to have her as a companion while Jeff was out of town on business. And Olivia adores her!

We had our first full day of work at the shop. And it went quite well. (I had anxieties!) We had lots of great help, Christina was there to help, Evan worked most of the day in the shop, too.


This is Olivia in her stroller in the shop. Having a conversation with Aunt Christina.



Jeff got home early from his business trip. He made it back for Mother's Day dinner!! What a guy. We missed him bunches and are so happy to have him home!


sending hugs!

just starting to SMILE!

Olivia has just started to smile at us and her favorite toys. It's a wonder what a baby's smile can do for your day!!



Amanda and Pablo came over for a visit the other day! Everyone hit it off immediately!


Mr. Pablo is a great snuggler!


Here's Olivia all bundled up for a stroll at Crissy Field in San Francisco last week at the kite races.
