Lilly's Oatmeal Cookies

The quest to create a delicious, healthy substitute for Clif Bars and Noe Valley Bakery treats has come to an end! It's always a problem for us: what to eat when you need something quick, easy and filling? Too many times we settle for something that isn't that good for us, of course. Lilly's Oatmeal Cookie recipe seems to do the trick, so we'd like to share it with you! They're low in sugar, delicious and nutritious. In a bowl, mix 1/8 cup brown sugar, 6 T butter, 1 1/4 cup oats, 1/3 cup fat free milk, 1 egg, 1/2 cup wheat flour, 1/2 cup almond meal, 2 T flax meal, 1/4 t salt, 1/2 t baking soda, 2 t pumpkin pie spice, 2 t vanilla, 1/2 cup raisins, 1/2 cup chopped walnuts, 1/4 cup chocolate chips (optional). Bake these babies at 350 degrees for about 10-15 minutes and enjoy!

Play Ball!

Adam took a break from homework. Lilly took a break from book-keeping. Adam and Lilly watched the Giants beat the Diamondbacks. It was free hat day. They also saw Willie Mays. All in all, Adam and Lilly had a fun night out. The End.

Sleepy Head

Gary came to visit and go to the Giants game. He got tired.

Bikini Time!

What better excuse to get a new bikini than a trip to Kauai? Lilly goes to Zoe Bikini in San Francisco to have hers made. Zoe lets you pick from a bunch of different styles and fabrics to make your dream bikini into a reality! Now, what girl doesn't love that?

60 Years in the Books

We all got together to celebrate Ray and Yvonne's 60 brilliant years of marriage. What a shiny happy time! Yummy food, drink and conversation were just a few highlights. Yaaa!

The Purple Envelope

Lookie what we got in the mail this week!

Breakfast at Cafe Delucchi

Janis brought the grandparents to San Francisco to celebrate their 60th Anniversary...and enjoy a relaxing stay at the St. Francis. Lilly's brother, Andrew, was visiting as well and we were all lucky enough to meet up with them for a delicious breakfast in North Beach. Doesn't Grandma look fetching in her cherry red leather jacket?...we think so! Congratulations to you two...you are an inspiration for sure.

Kauai or Bust!

We've made our travel arrangements to attend Clint and Alicia's wedding on the beautiful island of Kauai! Once we laid our eyes upon The Palmwood the search for a place to stay was over. This b&b looks so serene nestled in the hills, and the prospect of getting massages on our private deck was too much to pass up! Now all we have to do is get in shape so we look smokin' in our swimming attire, lose our San Francisco tan (or lack thereof), and shop shop shop!

At home in our new home!

We've gotten quite cozy in our new place...waking up with the sunshine, enjoying the breeze that seems only to exist higher up. It's so nice to not hear footsteps clomping around overhead as well...can't say enough about that! We found a nifty glowing "A" that serves as our end table and bedside lamp. Now we just need to find an "L" to match!

Aloha!

It's almost time for these lovebirds to tie the knot! It seems like only yesterday Clint was telling us about this great girl he met at school and we began to notice how much he loved going to class. There was magic in the air when he told us of his plans to take Alicia to the famed house in the forest...and, sure enough, Clint popped the question and the rest is history! On June 23, 2007 Clint and Alicia will begin their happily ever after. We're getting so excited for you two...and the trip to Hawaii!
