Waving "Hi" and showing you a foot

Our little baby at 12 weeks, 6 days

Here's a pretty good profile shot, with a hand and a foot!

Fun in Healdsburg

Every year, Bella Vinyards hosts a summer party, and this is the second year that the Taylors and the Robertsons have headed north to Healdsburg for a relaxing day of wine tasting and lounging in the sun. This year, I didn't get to do any wine tasting, but I did enjoy lounging. We started our day fairly early to beat the traffic, and we arrived at Ridge right when they opened at 11am. 11am? Yes, in wine country, it's okay to begin drinking at 11am. Then we headed to a couple of places I don't remember, and then Unti. Then, we went over to Bella for the summer party. When we left the party, we went to check into our hotel. Last year we didn't stay up in Healdsburg, and it was a long drive home at the end of the day for poor Andy. So we found the only hotel in town that didn't have a two-night minimum, and booked a couple of rooms. When we got there, there was a whole ordeal about how many rooms we had booked, and if we had paid. During the whole ordeal, the hotel owner asked Thomas if "we wanted a room with a door that locked." Thomas very politely replied that we did, indeed, want our door to lock. The actual facilities were nice enough - just remodeled - but they really need to work on their "management." Oh, and their curb appeal.
