Father's Day

We had a great Father's Day, mostly because no one had a fever!  We were taking bets on who would be sick or who would have a fever but everyone stayed healthy.  We spent the day over the on peninsula, we took the kids to a breakfast place that Marc and I went to when we lived in Mountain View and then Marc showed the kids and I his office.  We spent the remainder of the day in Palo Alto just walking around before heading home in time for the Giants game.  It was a great family day!

This boy LOVES him some milk!

Famalamadingdong breakfast!

I took Riley with her friend Bella to paint ceramics for their dads for Father's Day.  Riley made Marc a rocket ship (it's a piggy bank) and she was so excited to give it to him!

I wasn't sure how the rocket ship would go over so I also painted Marc this pizza plate, I thought it was the perfect gift for him

He was VERY excited!

Better Late Than Never

I'm a little late, story of my life these days (have I mentioned how crazy 2 kids is!?!), so my Father's Day post is a bit late.  But better late than never I say!!!  We had an action packed Father's Day.  Marc and I were up at 4AM, compliments of Mr Jacob Pants whose new trick is to wake up at 4AM and cry for an hour and then pass out and sleep another 2-4 hours, fine on the weekends but not so cool on weekdays if you ask me.  Thank goodness for coffee!  Anyway, at 5AM we decided to just start the day so I got up and worked out, paid for that one later, then we got showered and dressed so that when the kids did wake up we were ready to roll.  Marc wanted to go up to Walnut Creek and walk around and have some lunch up there.  So we headed up around 10:30 after a stop at Peet's for Marc's free Father's Day coffee and hit up Nordstrom's and some other shops before having lunch.  Marc wanted to go to McCovey's which is a Giant's themed restaurant but they were reservation only (who would have thought since I didn't even think they took reservations ever!) so we settled on Pyramid Brewery, another favorite of ours.  While we were up there our friends Pat and Jen invited us to this winery Tenuta, Jen and I went there with some other mom's from our playgroup on our Mommy's Day out, and it's a lot of fun!  So we napped the kids in the car and headed over there in the afternoon.  We didn't get home until after 6, it was a long day! 

Here's this year's Father's Day photo, both kids were surprisingly cooperative.  Riley was so excited about the picture with Jacob, she's really starting to love her brother!  I originally was going to do the picture with Jacob on her lap but she wanted him next to her and that picture actually turned out the best!  I love the pictures of her hugging him!  So sweet!

Funny story about this picture, Marc took it to work and his co-worker (who has a daughter a few months older than Jacob) asked why I cropped his head and put it on another baby's body (I will admit his head looks ginormous in these photos, like bigger than his 3 1/2 year old sister's head ginormous) and Marc was like, "what are you talking about?"  Well she said "He has no neck, it looks like she put his head on another baby's body."  Marc said "No that's how he looks!"  Ha!  Mr Bobble Head, we take him Friday for his 6 month appointment so I am very curious to see how much he weighs and how long he has gotten!
