Dinner at the Rydbecks

Our good friends Joel and Rachael live one block from where we WILL be living come April. She is a fantastic cook, he is in the CIA. We went there for dinner and games tonight: so lovely. Monk fish wrapped in prischutto (sp?) is heavenly. She even made a great gluten-free chocolate cake! (FYI for Grammy: Layla WAS wearing proper clothes, but then I spilled wine ALL over her. She took it in stride, but I had to get out the emergency diaper bag outfit...)

OMG. Best drink EVER. See those other empty cups in the background? Yeah. I licked those clean. I had to borrow this drink to get a picture. (-:

Waking up is hard to do:

Layla's go-to look: STUNNED

I took these while I was holding her on my hip. She could have taken 20 more just like this. The girl won't dish out smiles for just ANYbody. (-:

Layla in "real clothes"...for Grammy (-:

...and the ever-present drool stain (after only 5 minutes of wearing the sweatshirt)!

Chillin' on the counter...

And, YES, Renee, we are always by her. (-:

Lending up...

Grammy bought Layla a jacket, but it's too big for her now so cousin Anja gets to wear it for a while! She LOVED it and was quite happy to pose with it, especially today, Valentine's Day, since it was pink. Thanks Grammy!

Valentine's Day at the Berubes! (Toby! You missed it!)
