Weekly Dinner with the Bayers

It has become an informal tradition to have dinner with the Bayers on a weekly basis. David and Debbie Bayer are a wonderful Venturan couple who have become like an adopted set of grandparents for the girls. We love spending time with them and they have been incredibly sweet and generous to our family. David and Eric used to work together in the Fire Department. David and Debbie are now both retired and are enjoying volunteer work and various community activities. David is a gifted wood-worker and has been able to help us with various home projects. Debbie is an amazing quilter with many other artistic talents. We love them and thank them for all they do.

David and Lizzy feeding a duck some yummy bread =) We often see some really cool sea creatures off their dock including sharks, sting rays, fish, a seal, crabs and octopii (mom's favorite)
shake, shake, shake!

waddle, waddle, waddle!
Debbie sewing on the label for Emily's quilt that she just finished making!
Emily is happy to pose on her new special quilt Ni-ni. How beautiful it is!
Lizzy decides to pose too. Lizzy has her special hand made quilt by Debbie at home. It is another beauty!

Taking after her dad, Lizzy has a passion for life guarding. She is looking out for swimmers in distress!
She spotted one!! She prepares to toss the life saver to her sinking victim!
A job well done!! Thanks Lizzy!
All the while, Debbie and Emmy enjoy some time on the couch together.
What a face! Too cute!

What a drooler!
Sorry about your shirt Miss Debbie, I just couldn't help myself =) Lizzy snaps a shot of mom =)
I'm sorry to tell you miss Debbie, but I think I have to go home now.
Good buy. Thank you for a fun evening together.
