Ted takes the Big City with the Evans Family

A whirlwind 24 hours in the Big Apple. A playdate in Brooklyn Heights with Austin and Baby Phoebe to start, followed by a marathon walk from 90th/Park to Christopher Street. We visited Sid at his office and finished at Grand Central Station. Ted loves the subway and didn't seemed phased by the thousand degree New York heat.

Playdate with Nora

Summer nights in Long Island with Nora and Benton and Susan. The Brown-Boyle "Shack" is the perfect place for sunset playdates and sandcastles. Ted whispered to me later that this ain't no shack and he is coming back.

Westhampton Beach

Ted turns ONE

Ted tuned one--once in CA for his daddy and once in WHB with his cousin (and birthday partner, Owen). Two great Wet n Wild pool parties with two funny looking cakes. He got a bike helmet and seat from his Dad, a tent and tunnel from Molly and Missy, and tons of great water/fish stuff. The "ONE" t-shirt is by SuperMommy Hopie.

Four teeth for Mother's day and a new ride for Fathers's Day

Ted and his dad both got new wheels...a quadline for Dad and a Kettler tricycle (thank you yard sale) for Ted.

Ted goes to market, to Pt. Reyes, to the central valley and back...

Amy and Andrew bring Tommy to the Berkeley Farmers Market. Jean and Clinton came to town and we joined them to grill pizza with Bruce and Henry up in Pt. Reyes. Tyson and Aysha showed us some real farmers bounty in Esparto. As you can see, Ted and the onion are about the same size. Summer in CA is wonderful. Literally, the apricots and pluots were falling off the trees.

Smith Family Vacation: Santa Barbara 2007

Ted had a wonderful first visit to Santa Barbara with the his Smith grandparents, cousins Emma and Grace, Tia Carrie, and Ramie and Jim. He had his first swim in a pool and enjoyed his first week at the beach.

Santa Monica and Santa Barbara Memorial Day 2007

Ted has his first day on the beach, at Santa Monica, with a flailing surfer Dad. Then he rocked it up at Santa Monica with Chris, Liezel and Flora, gazing longingly at Chris' beer.

Bay to Breakers 2007

Dad got Ted and Tia up EARLY in the morning to head into San Francisco to watch the crazy Bay to Breakers.






The Hinckley Girls joined us and we entered the madness for a couple of miles...at least until Emma droped her hat in the port-a-pottie and we were all way overstimulated.

Tia Carrie, Cruisin' on Foot and Preston

Tia Carrie hits the park in Orinda with Ted and the Hinckley girls. Ted threatens to walk (with a little help). Ted also got to see Auntie Robin and Preston.

Exam Week/Gradution Week with the Thetas

Study or Sleep...always the dilemma! especially when you are studying at the sorority house.


Pass in the papers, it is time to get outide and play with Ted's two favorite people...Molly and Missy.
