Heat Wave 2011

San Francisco is known for its temperate climate, but once or twice a year it gets hot enough to be uncomfortable. Check out these pictures from last year's hottest day.
Now look at pictures from today, only 13 months later. We enjoyed the weather outside this evening while eating a snack. As I took pictures with the camera, Brett stole my phone and repeatedly told Maggie to smile as he "took her picture" with it.




Let's count the big differences from last year to now:
1) Walking (and running and jumping!) instead of crawling.
2) Hair!
3) Underwear!

Silly Maggie Goofball

Okay, so you may think she's just another pretty face:



But Maggie is a big-time goofball. She knows how to get a laugh, and she's always hamming it up for the camera.





Maggie loves trying on Mommy's shoes. My favorite, though, is when she brings me my slippers when I'm changing clothes after work and says, "Now Mommy wear these one blue shoes."



Maggie is very sweet, and generous with the hugs and kisses for her parents. She also likes to tell people and things that she loves them. Last night it was, "I love you, soap," when washing her hands (while trying to kiss the soap bottle). And she loves her brother, too!

Lesson in Loyalty 2011

Let's hope this goes a little better than Lesson in Loyalty 2010. Or Lesson in Loyalty 2009. Hail To The Redskins.

The Golden Retriever

Today was a beautiful Saturday so we headed to "Big Park" (aka Golden Gate Park) to get a little exercise. Brett and Daddy spent some time chasing after the frisbee to settle a growing debate in the house over who is faster. Here's the Golden Retriever in action:



Meanwhile, Maggie spent the morning picking flowers and alternating between goofing off and looking gorgeous:
