Family Time

Elizabeth made the rounds to see all the SD and Dana Point family. She enjoyed the mariachi band at the local Mexican eatery.

Wished Great-Grandpa well as he works on getting his strength back after a recent illness - Great-Grandma and Aunt Kathy say hello as well

Then, it is off to the beach with Grandpa Ho-Ho and Daddy! Elizabeth definitely gets her love of the beach and ocean from her Daddy - Mommyu is taking the picture all wrapped up in a sweater:)

Ellie just loves her family!
Beautiful Girl

Aquarium of the Pacific

We had a wonderful time at the aquarium with friends Laura, John and Jessica. Elizabeth loved the fishes - she wanted to climb in the tank with them!

This funny aquarium had a larakeet exhibit where we could feed the birds...
Laura and John got an upclose view of the birds

Elizabeth got a little too upclose and personal with one bird - Poor Jess was concerned the bird might have Ellie's finger for a snack:)

Island Valentine

Having fun outside

Island Fun

Our first day in Catalina was rainy and cold, but luckily Elizabeth's stroller is all decked out with a special rain shield

While inside, out of the rain, we found ways to entertain ourselves - like dancing...

and dress up!

Doesn't "Uncle" Matt's sweatshirt look great on me?

Silly little lady! - Mommy crouches down to take her picture and what does she do? Look! Elizabeth can crouch DOWN and UP! (two of her favorite words:) )

Bon Voyage

Elizabeth and Mommy are not big fans of boat rides - especially when there are big waves and it's windy like our voyage to Catalina. Elizabeth was chanting "Up....Down" as the swells moved the boat around until she got sick all over Daddy's shirt...

Crazy Hair in the Tub

Bath time includes some crazy hairdos at times - luckily those blonde curls always come back!

Construction with Aunt Laura

Elizabeth visited her Aunt Laura and decided she wanted to move in - so they built a condo that even had windows, skylights, and a front door. Check out Elizabeth and Aunt Laura cruising around in the finished product!

Out for Dinner

Elizabeth loves the Old Spaghetti Factory and especially the cheesy garlic bread. Her parents love the fact that it is noisy and her screams just blend in with all the other kids!

Superbowl fun

Elizabeth's friend Jack came over to watch the

Superbowl with her.

Even our upstairs neighbors came by to visit
