HAPPY BIRTHDAY, PAPI!

We kicked off celebrations early and a family dinner at Fugazzi's seemed the perfect way to get everyone in a festive mood ...
Celebrating with all the bells & whistles
Birthday boy turns 35 on April 15th and will celebrate big by plane jumping with friends on May 16th. Bibi is considering doing it as well ... you only live once, right?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE BEST DADDY IN THE WORLD!!!!

More about the coast ...

Thank you Issy for the GREAT fish kite. It was easy to assemble and worked just great!

Our little traffic stopper walked around incessantly getting all kinds of attention from strangers along the way

Brianna LOVES her new kite

A reminder of the picturesque "La Boca" neighborhood in Buenos Aires

Capitola Beach

Last weekend was a fantastic & relaxing two days between Capitola Beach & Monterey. We loved just being together, going to the beach, trying Brianna's new kite (thank you, Issy!!!), eating the BEST vegan food around and just relaxing ....
A pit stop along the way

Spring is still a breath or two away here at the beach. It was COLD & WINDY, but we still made the best of it

Project Backyard Landscaping: Check

In a historic day, we finished our backyard landscaping and hosted a beautiful party for our beautiful baby girl. After all, we entertained two families, in our small house, for an entire weekend. It was a wild ride but we had lots of fun! Thank you to the Clarks & Burgos' for the amazing memories!

Our back yard

Over the past couple of weeks, Jeremy (mostly), Bibi (as much as possible) & the girls have been working really hard trying to get the backyard ready for spring. This past Sunday was especiallybrutal, as Jeremy started taking the old dirt out at 6 am and finished rota-tilling new dirt after 7 pm. Huge thaks to Tio Victor and Uncle Dave who came by and lent a hand in a big way so that this project can be finished sooner.

The sprinkler system is next and then the sod

After dinner, the boys with the girls jumped in the jacuzzi and took a well deserved break. Go Uncle Dave!

Sabbath dinner with the Stuarts

We had a great time last Sabbath evening over Mexican food with Chad, Christina & Dayton. Great times for sure!

The kids played really well and took a long bath together at the end of the evening. Kiaruchi & Dayton loved riding in the tricycle and eating veggie beans. It was great having you guys over!

Our Mom's Group Picnic at Soroptimist Park

Last Thursday was just so cold and windy for our weekly get together! We started off at the park, had our picnic and then finished off the evening at Diana's house with hot coffee & cookies. We ALL had a great time!
