For spring break we were invited by our good friends Scott and Paige Chatterton to spend the week at her parents beach house at Dillon Beach (about 1 hour north of San Fransisco). It was fabulous. Lilly had lots of respect for the Ocean and didn't want to get too close but she loved the endless sandbox.
We did alot of walking the beach, reading and relaxin but inbetween we did a few things. We spent a day in San Fransisco and that is always fun. One afternoon we went whale watching at Point Reyes. We even saw whales. Lilly would call them in with her special whale call I think she learned watching Go Diego Go. An older woman next to us was telling her Husband it was time to go when he said "Not till Lilly calls one more whale in" and she did of course. We went to Bodega bay for lunch one afternoon. That is the little place where they filmed "the Birds" anyway the little cafe was just a wall of windows looking out over the dock of the bay and while we were there Vogue was shooting for their June issue. The thought occured to me that the handsome older man looked a lot like Pierce Brosnan but I was not interested enough to look real close, but Laurel was and he waved and smiled at her. It wasn't till that issue of Vogue came out that I realized it really was him. The name didn't impress Laurel much until I explained he was the last 007 and then the lights went on in her head and she reminded everyone that he smiled and waved at her through the window.
Sweet girls; too bad Allyse couldn't come. That school thing really gets in they way sometimes. We left for home via the Redwoods. Lilly walked and hiked for hours and never tired of it. She talked about the big forest where she went sliding inside an old tree trunk.

My goodness my goodness, what a wonderful update. I guess I can be content to wait between them since you did such a fabulous job catching. It is a wonderful way to do your family journal you know and you will be happy you did. I loved every minute of watching and seeing it all. Thank you so much honey. We love you. Can't wait to see you again. I have heard that you are working on the Girls Beach time in October. That would be a great thing also. Hmmmm xoxoxoxox
Oh by the way Jeanna, I love your hair. :) Love it!
And to me it is amazing how much Lilly, in the picute in the ocean sand box, looks a bit like little LaRae as I remember her when we were at the Lake with you so many summers ago. Is it just me or does anyone else see the resemblance? Even with the sun in her hair it is red too. :) xoxoxoxxo
