More Easter Fun!

Since Nana was under the weather on Easter, we got to have a delayed egg hunt this weekend. Bea made fast use of the sidewalk chalk she got from the Easter Bunny. She also quickly discovered that there were goodies inside the plastic eggs!

Happy Easter!

No, the snow picture is not a mistake! We went snowshoeing this weekend after getting over 4 feet of snow in the mountains. The weather out here has been totally crazy - sun, wind, rain & hail make for a typical spring day!







Isn't Bea such a doll in her pretty dress?

Visit from Mimi

We had the most wonderful time with my Mom last weekend! The weather was pretty crummy, so we did lots of indoor activities, like the aquarium and lunch at La Carta (where else?). The sweet waiter at La Carta brought Bea her own little dish of guacamole, which she ate with a spoon. What can we say, the girl has good taste. My mom and I got to steal away for a few house here and there for shopping and lunch. What a treat!
There are no pictures of Bea and Mimi because Bea is in a weird mommy-possessive phase. She didn't want anyone to take my attention away from her and acted out when someone did. A month ago, I would have describe Bea as an amiable child. No so now. She's been abducted by the two-year-old monster!

Beach Baby

Bea is a beach (more specifically sand) fanatic! We spent a glorious Saturday at Golden Gardens beach, followed by a tasty lunch at La Carta de Oaxaca. Bea managed to get more sand in her shoes and diaper (while clothed!) than I thought possible.

Happy Birthday Daddy!

Bea wishes her Daddy a Happy Birthday with the very special birthday hat. It fits her head better this year than it did last year. How could her head get smaller???
There was no better way to spend a birthday afternoon than tromping around the Lincoln Park beach.

Bubble wrap

Thanks, Aunt Jules, for being so kind as to send Bea bubble wrap!

Fish! Fish!
