Happy Easter Hugs!

Great day, great friends

New matching dresses!

The McCauley name

What a special surprise from my new spring training friends, the O'Hoppe family from Long Island.

Dad's tweed Irish cap

 Venezuelan colleague and friend Manolo Hernandez wore my Dad's Irish tweed cap with pride on St. Patrick's Day during the World Baseball Classic. My green tights date back to high school, and they're going strong.

Happy St. Patrick's Day Hugs!

Thanks again for our fun hats, Auntie Petra. Emma grabbed them to wear today!

Lily now climbs up everything herself, even the steep steps, and does this slide solo.

Balloon fun

Last night, it was Emma and Declan being silly. Tonight it was their younger siblings, Lily and Cormac.

Park day

Gorgeous Saturday for the park nextdoor ... then farmer's market.

Oakland Museum food truck fun

Recapping Emma's 4th birthday

Emma and Kaela couldn't wait for the past six months to have their joint birthday party at the bouncy house place near us. It was a huge success! (Thanks to Rona and family for sharing some fun pictures). The yummy ice cream cakes were a hit as always.

Bye bye, Kauai

We love this textured mural at the Kauai airport.

New bathroom...

Here's what we had done while away in Hawaii ... I'm so happy with it (we didn't have a counter at all, just a stand-alone sink).

Guess who?!

So much fun to see Michael and Katie at Poipu Beach, great timing they were here, too!

Luau

Thanks so much, Grandma Connie, for our pretty matching dresses. We loved wearing them to the luau, though Lily stayed awake and Emma slept through the performance.

Grandma C., we knew you'd love this bird in its nest.
