Barcelona Quilt

I found a beautiful quilt in a catalog I've never seen before. I love the colors, pattern and texture of this quilt/sham. Sadly, I would never have the patience to actually sew something like this. The quilt can be found online here.

Beat LA!

Last Sunday, we also attended the Giants-Dodgers game. We were unfortunate enough to sit in a row with 8 Dodger fan-thugs. Luckily, the Giants started scoring runs, hand-over-fist, and the noisy thugs never returned. I am certain that the game win can be credited to Riley's attendance! (the Giants also won on opening day when Riley attended)




Here she is with Dad cheering for the Giants to keep their lead at the end of the 9th inning. Both Riley and Matt do a "fist pump" as the Dodgers lose the game.





Here Riley shows off celebratory smiles and her two teeth!
















Having beat LA, Riley is relaxed, smug and satisfied to roam around town in the backpack in search of dinner with Grandma and Grandpa.

Riding Bart

Riley's first trip on Bart happened last Sunday. We parked in San Bruno and rode Bart into SF first thing in the morning. Riley thoroughly enjoyed public transit and her new backpack, that allowed her to ride on Dad's back and see all of the scenery.














Without promting, she used the strap to brace herself, just like her dad was doing. She looked like a seasoned commuter.

Cruising Around the House

The most exciting toys are often unexpected, lately Ri has been spotted carting around this orange ring (meant to attach a toy). She crawls with the ring in her hand and will often crawl with the ring in one hand and an additional toy in the other hand. Needless to say, she looks ridiculous.








































You can see the sheer joy she gets from carting that thing around!
