News from San Francisco & Lola

Hello Everyone!!!
It is Friday and we are all doing so well. Lola is sitting beside me kicking me in the side! She is quite big as she is three months today! We are going over to have dinner with one of Lola's mates tonight.
It is histerical, she has found her hands. She holds them in front of her face and from time to time she "bonks" herself in the forhead. She is staring at them so intently and doesnt have the
exact motor skills to prevent that sort of thing yet.
She kills me, I laugh all day. We call daddy all day to tell him about the amazing things that she does. Granny, we just put the photos of your trip in a photo album yesterday. It was fun recounting the weeks that you were here. She has changed so much, she is really cuddly now as she has some fat onher bones. She is cranky in the morning as it takes her some time to wake up! Sometimes I forget she is just waking and I run over and poke her and talk to her and try to get her to laugh, before I realize that I have just scared the living daylights out of her. oops!
oh, Her hair is getting very curly and dark. Her eyes are turning brown too. I am glad because thats pretty much all she has gotten from me.
I recently saw a girlfriend of mine and she said, " You did carry this baby didn't you?" Cookie cutter Sam image.
I carried her and got fat but she looks just like daddy. Its okay, things could be worse. We adore her!

Sam is the cutest. He speaks to her like she is 30.
We have taken her to museums to see countless exhibits. She enjoys it because it is quiet and calm. We went to the lake last weekend.
Sam was recruited to go to the Nevada state line in a KAYAKE...(about ten miles away) Needless to say, he was sunburned (second degree) starving and exhausted. I thought he was never coming home. What a champ. We had so much fun.

Lola and I went to a movie yesterday. She did so well and it got me out of the house before I went mental. There was a scene where a woman was in labor and screaming.....I think it scared her because she screamed as well.
Movies are great because we can sit there and play and I can feed her if I need to without hesitation.

Sam is taking a client out to dinner tonight and meeting us over at Hiedi and Arthurs...We get to meet Sadie tonight. We cant wait. Robs, we hung the little bird that your family sent in the back of the car..I think it keeps her quiet. She enjoys shiney things...ooops daddy. (she loves my silver tiffany bracelet from Tiffany's) I haven't told Sam yet! haha

We continually tell Lola of the amazing family that is out there and all of the wonderful places that we will visit.
Be assured we mention you all by name and who you are! She can't wait to meet you all.

Sam and I miss you all so much! We are sending huge kisses and hugs.

Oh, Sam is looking alot like Grandpa Peter....He is getting some beautiful gray hair!
Okay big kisses!

love you all
Sam, Dana and Lola
