Father's Day Weekend

We had such a wonderful weekend. It was filled with friends, music, beautiful weather, and celebrating Father's Day.

On Friday Catie and I ran around trying to get everything ready for Hawaii. Catie is a trooper and is terrific at sleeping on the go.
Friday night we went to Jazz on the Bay in Sausalito with a bunch of our friends. The weather was amazing and it was a perfect night to sit on the law, drink some wine, catch up with friends and listen to some music. As usual Catie was the hit of the show. She is a big ham and would laugh and wave at whoever would look at her. When we finally left at 9 pm she was still laughing, smiling and babbling. She didn't want the party to end! However, the moment we put her in her car seat she was out and she slept until 8:30 on Saturday morning!

On Saturday Colin went to play golf and Catie and I went to the Meadow Club in Marin with my friends Lizzie, Susie, Marni, Katie and Zoe. Catie loves the water (I have no idea where she gets that from since I am terrified of it). She would splash herself (and me), laugh and shriek with excitement and she didn't want to get out of the pool. I can't wait for her to go to Hawaii! Thank you so much Lizzie for having us. We had a blast!

Yesterday was Colin's first Father's Day and we had a wonderful day. We started the morning having breakfast with Colin's parents. We went to Sam's which is a wonderful restaurant right on the water in Sausalito. The weather was beautiful and we ate on the deck over looking the bay and the Golden Gate Bridge. Catie sat in a high chair eating Puffs, bananas and toast and feeding the birds. She would drop food and then look down at the Pigeons under her high chair. I am sure that the birds were sad to see her leave.

After breakfast we all went to the Discovery Museum in Sausalito. I have heard great things about the museum so we decided to check it out. They have a "Tots" area where kids 3 and under can explore. Catie crawled around on the water mats and played in the stream. They have a wonderful stream that has play fish, frogs, etc. in it. Catie loved playing in the water. She splashed herself and whoever was around her. The museum was wonderful and I am sure that we will be spending A LOT of time there as she grows up.


Catie started the day with shoes on but she refused to keep them on. She HATES shoes and socks but it's ok because her feet are just so little and cute!

Thank you O'Connell's for a wonderful day.

Catie finished out the night with some mac and cheese and pears.

We had such a great weekend and Happy 1st Father's Day Colin. Catie is very lucky to have a dad like you.
We leave for Hawaii on Friday morning and I promise to post lots of pictures and share lots funny stories when we get back. Aloha!
