Easter 2009

We celebrated Easter by going to mass at St. Agnes with Ryan's parents. It was a great liturgy and a wonderful way to begin our Easter morning. We then went to Danville to join my parents, the Brinkers, the Fishers and Aunt Bethy for a BBQ. We had a great time and Dylan enjoyed his first Easter basket as well. I had a good time dressing him for the occasion. . . see the socks!

 

 

 

 

Dylan meets Tammie and Lily

Dylan and I had a playdate with Tammie (my good friend from high school and LMU)and her daughter Lily before Easter. It was so much fun to see Tammie as a Mom and to play with Lily. Tammie lives in Lincoln so we don't always get to see her but we had a great visit at her Mom's house in Diablo. Thanks Tammie and Lily for coming down to visit us!

 

Dylan's room!

Dylan is still in the co-sleeper next to our bed in our room but his room certainly is taking shape! Many of Ryan's friends gave him baseball themed gifts for his birth so it took on a sports theme very quickly.

 

 

Getting Dylan ready!

Ryan forgot to mention the "game prep" that occured before we took Dylan to the baseball game! This is Dylan in his "warm up" outfit and Ryan talking "ball" with him on the couch! He actually looks really interested!

 

 

Giants Game

A rite of passage in every (little) man's life...going to his first GIANTS game! We took Dylan to his first baseball game to see his favorite team, GIGANTES! He had a great time and met up with his cousins, Jackson, Hudson and Sawyer. He was all smiles when the Giants scored runs and gave some grunts (boos) when opposing batters came to the plate. We even got Dylan an Official Giants certificate saying it was his very first Giants game! We look forward to many many more games with Dylan.

Bath time!

 

Dylan has always liked the bath so we tend make it part of our daily routine. I love his little "cow" towel that has his name on it (Thanks Delucchis!). This is just the cutest picture of my boys, love them so much!!!

A San Francisco Day!

 

 

We enjoyed a beautiful day in SF on Saturday and had a picnic in the park. Dylan slept through most of it but we captured a few photos with him at the Conservatory of Flowers.

Cousins!

 

We try to get together as much as possible! This was a random Friday afternoon at Lizzie's when we all got together and grabbed the little ones for a family pic. They are seated in birth order from Left to Right, Dylan Patrick, Reese Marie, Chloe Elizabeth, Jack Fitzgerald, Mia Grace and Madison Briggs. So much fun!!!

My 30th Birthday!!!

 

 

 

 

We celebrated my 30th birthday with a fantastic day! My mom and dad gave me a massage at a fabulous spa in Danville. It was a perfect way to start my birthday celebration. Dylan was an absolute angel and you can see that he is holding his own bottle! We are constantly amazed by him. Ryan and I went to Gary Danko for a fabulous meal and an incredible dining experience. On Thursday night all my sisters and brothers in laws went out for dinner. It was a huge effort to get all the little ones taken care of so the parents could go out, I was so touched that everyone made such an effort! Thanks to Grammy and Poppo and Grandma Laura and Grandpa Tom for helping out and watching Dylan so we could celebrate. I know 30 is going to be a great year, it already has been!!!
