Vertigo!

Happy Easter 2011

It was a little rainy this morning, so Brett and Maggie held an indoor Easter Egg Hunt in the basement. Mommy filled the eggs with M&Ms, raisins, Peeps and traditional Easter green beans.











Later that afternoon we headed over to San Francisco's (real) crookedest street to watch Potrero Hill's craziest Easter tradition; the Bring Your Own Big Wheel Race. Next year, Brett and Mags might be old enough to ride in the race. But this year we had a good time just hanging out and watching the weirdos go by:

Maggie Jeans!

Little Maggie "found" a new pair of jeans in her closet recently. And if one thing is for certain, Maggie looks great in jeans. Here she is with her brother chasing bubbles in the back yard this weekend. Included is a bonus "pigtails" photo.

1-2-3 Slide!

More of Brett the athlete. He loves the slide at the park so much. He climbs up and slides down with no help needed from Dad.

Bretty Baseball

Brett "Big Papi" Berthiaume loves sports. Recently he's taken a shining to golf and basketball. But today, he was all about baseball. We were at a baseball-themed birthday party in San Bruno and all Brett wanted to do was hit the ball off the tee. Then he'd reset it all by himself and hit it again. This went on for at least 30 minutes. He's quite the little slugger. Also, his batting average is already way higher than Carl Crawford's.

Ice Cream! (and the Zoo)

This weekend we took the twins on their second ever trip to the SF zoo. They're fully entrenched in the "I know every animal noise" stage so seeing the lions, bears, penguins and monkeys was a big hit. Despite this, you'll never guess who their favorite "animal" at the zoo was on Sunday:

And even though they're now excellent walkers, they decided to take it easy and have Daddy pull them around in a rented wagon. Here they are with Mommy in front of the Rhino pen:

But the highlight of the day by far was the trip to Marco Polo ice cream shop in The Sunset. Brett and Mags are ice cream fiends, especially Bretty who seems to be making up for lost dairy time and asks for "ice keem" at least 2 or 3 times every day. What a fun weekend!
