Happy three month Birthday


Saturday was Cadel's three month birthday. A whole quarter of a year old. Doesn't sounds like much but our little one is changing so much week by week three months is a big milestone. Cadel spent the day attending Ethan Siva's first birthday party in Burlingame. The party featured among other things a pony, Tigger from Winnie the Pooh, a pinata and a clown. Unfortunately we had to leave before the really cool cake was served. The whole family had a great time even though Dad got lost on his bike ride to the party.
New pictures will be coming soon from Mom's fancy new camera.Check back soon!

San Antonio Texas...Yeehaw!

Last week Cadel traveled with Mommy to San Antonio to meet his Great Grandfather Biery. Cadel did very well on the two connecting flights from San Francisco, mostly resting up for his big adventure. Oma traveled to Texas before we arrived and picked us up at the airport. Then we headed to Great Grandmother and Great Grandfather Biery's house for our visit. Cadel was quite taken with GGF Biery and I think the feeling was mutual. During our stay, Cadel also got to meet cousin Robert, GGF Biery's brother Sam and his wife CB and Great Uncle Chip. Cadel especially liked the trip because he got to sleep with Mommy in her bed like a big boy.

After a few days visit, Cadel and Mommy headed home to San Francisco. Cadel somehow slept through the dog in the adjacent row who whined and barked nonstop for the 3 1/2 hour flight. Once we reached the airport, we hopped on Bart and headed to SF to meet Daddy. Cadel loved watching the scenery fly by as the train moved. Once in SF we introduced Cadel to all of Daddy's co-workers, had a quick lunch and headed home for a nice, long nap.

Leaving on an airplane


Yesterday Cadel headed to the airport for his first big trip. At 8:40 he boarded a flight for San Antonio, Texas with Mom. He is going to visit Great grandpa Charles who is Mom's Grandfather. He and great grandma live in San Antonio where Mom spent part of her time growing up.
While Cadel is in Texas he will also get to meet his great unlce Chip and maybe a few other family members. Unfortunately Dad had to stay home and work. Boooooo.
The picture above is Cadel on the first leg of the flight to Texas. Mom says he behaved very well for the entire trip.

Last Friday we had a full house with 12 people over. It was a mini family reunion with Elisabeth, Bill and Amy in town from Houston. Mike, Zach and GG came over from the East Bay and Savta and Dave were down from Redding. It was a very nice BBQ and Cadel was sure to show off his smiles and cute baby sounds most of the evening.

The next day we headed to San Francisco for Aiden Kirkley's first birthday party. It was a very nice day in SF. The party was even in our old neighborhood. Ah memories...

Of course the highlight of the weekend, selfishly, was Mom and Dad's first date night since Cadel joined us. It was a nice present from Savta (to watch him for a few hours) while she was in town so we could head out.

Cadel is a party animal already. In the past three weeks he has been to three birthday parties and wedding. Now he is off to Texas! What a social life for a 10 week old.
