Well, it has been a good week for us-- Brian had a good trip to Arizona and we had a fun week here at home, including our first Mother-Daughter trip to San Francisco!
We went to the Ferry Building for lunch, visited Japan Town for some shopping and ended up at the Japanese Tea Gardens in Golden Gate Park for some relaxing sight seeing. She was an excellent baby for the whole day. I could not have asked for better! She slept in the car on the way down, and all the way home. I can't wait to go again!
Ivy has learned how to blow rasberries... and entertains herself and others with this trick for several minutes at a time.
Last night we enjoyed the company of our neighbors in the back yard and fired up the pizza oven. Jessica took some wonderful pictures of the event for us! The weather is cool and delightful this weekend- and we are thoroughly enjoying it. At bedtime, we all put Ivy to bed in her crib, and offered her the binky... which she spit out about 10 times in a row to amuse us. Every time she spit it out, we all laughed, and she laughed too! Got to get that on video!
This week we look forward to a visit from Brian's mom and sister, visiting from Louisville, KY for a few days. Ivy can't wait for more visitors!
We're using our Japanese rice cooker for the first time tonight- and attempting to re-create a dish we enjoyed eating in Japan... wish us luck!
I remember the Japanese Tea Garden in Golden Gate Park. It is so beautiful and peaceful. I love that park. Glad you had such a wonderful time. Enjoy your rice!
