Rachel's Cali trip

A few weeks ago Teresa had to go to California for work...this of course gave her the opportunity to introduce Rachel to California, Golden Spoon, the ocean air, never ending traffic, Teresa's co-workers, some friends or ours, Teresa's best friends Rachel and Nicole (hence her name)...but more importantly she got a chance to finally meet more of Teresa's family. I was bummed that I wasn't able to be there with them, maybe next trip in a few months, but from what I hear they had a great time. Here are some pics of her first flight/adventure to California...

They're Baaaaaaaaaack.......

So after a canceled flight and a late night Teresa and Rachel have finally returned home. It was great to have them back and this morning I learned that Rachel picked up "baby vernacular" while in CA...must have been the air? water? or Golden Spoon? Anyways on thursday she would only give a screem/squeel and now she has multiple sounds, sqwaks, squeels, bla blas and googoo gaagaas that she is throwing out there. If only I had the super hero powers to understand what she was saying...it was probably "Dad your breath stinks something fierce in the morning...go brush your teeth"

My Ladies...

I miss them....

When the cats away the mice will play...

So tonight Teresa had a "girls" night out which meant that it was "Daddy Daughter" night for Rachel and I... and since Rachel had a tramatic day yesterday after getting her first set of shots I wanted to make sure tonight she got to let loose and have some fun...So while Teresa was out watching My Fair blablabla Lady here is what he did at home:

First she ate her first Pizza



And chased it down with a Diet Dr Pepper



We watched some basketball on the boob tube



Next Rachel wanted to try on some of Mom's jewlery...she loved it and may have taken a few pieces for her own



She dabbled in some of Mom's makeup



and even tried on some of Mom's clothes...well sort of...



She even didn't have to wear her gloves tonight...Mommy always insists that she wear gloves so she doesn't scratch her face and I think she hates having them on...so tonight Rachel got her way...Look Mom No Gloves



After about 2 hours of partying she crashed hard core (pic taken last night after her shots...but it fits for this story...minus the sad face I'm making)



All in all it was a great night and she didn't even remember her sad shot day yesterday...well until I had to take her three bandaids off of her...poor girl. Now she is sound asleep in her bed and I have to go clean up the mess we made before Mom gets home.
