We had a very nice little weekend. We had a pretty chill Friday night and then Saturday night we met up with some friends to try DMK, a new burger joint. Lily had on her cutest spotted pajamas in the hopes that she'd fall asleep in her stroller. She didn't abide but she was an angel all night and didn't cry one bit.

We were able to watch the Superbowl with friends too but Lily and I left at half time since it was past her bedtime. Lily and Caroline had another little play date at the Superbowl party. Caroline is still too little to recognize Lily but Lily definitely noticed Caroline. When Grant held Caroline next to Lily, Lily reached out to touch her and gave her the up and down.

Also, my mission to find the girls matching clothes was completed. I found adorable cherry-print dresses in sizes 3 months and 9 months for the girls to wear once the weather warms up. This morning, Lily was too big for her pink overalls so we paired her floral blouse with some blue jeans. Lily was not in her usual fun mood this morning.
She seemed to yawn her way through our morning routine.
As I told her in the car, we're all entitled to our grumpy days.

But apparently her mood improved once we dropped her off at daycare because her daily "report card" detailed lots of smile time with her friends. She had tummy time with Elizabeth (the teachers place them on their tummies facing each other so they can smile at each other) and played in the exersaucer. The babies also had a special activity: playing with cheerios in the activity table! The teachers made sure Lily didn't touch the cheerios but she did stand at the table with the rest of the kids. I really wish that we'd been able to see her standing with all the "big kids", playing. I imagine her being so proud to stand up with her friends.

As usual, she was bathed and asleep within 30 minutes of getting home since she only slept 30 minutes the whole day.

Holy smokes, I haven’t blogged since our November vacay to French Polynesia!!!!  I knew it had been a while but didn’t realize how far off the blagon I was! So much has happened in the past 2 months for us all & it feels a bit silly to blog about anything but at the same time, we all probably benefit from a little distraction, right? There have been a ton of tips out there about working from home.  Having given my share  already , I didn’t really read anything that I wasn’t already generally aware of and for the first month of quarantine it was pretty much business as usual for me. All that changed until almost 3 weeks ago when Matt reentered the corporate world.  His desk in the cave wasn’t going to work anymore.  With COVID-19, the kids are all home all day except for a brief walk or two and they need that space to play.  Plus, even if we could get them to stay out of the cave, he would still hear them ...

Good gods, it's been so long I almost don't know where to start!  Despite 2020 being 2020, we still had a really nice end to the year.  That period from Halloween to Christmas is always my favorite and still felt special even though we didn't get to do some of our traditions like the annual Christmas tree lighting on the Pier. In some ways I'm actually finding 2021 to be rougher than 2020.  We've turned the page on the year but in LA we haven't really turned the page on the pandemic yet.  As of a few days ago we were still hovering above the 15% ICU bed availability so it's hard to feel a sense of progress, even as so many other places seem to be on a path to normalcy.  We're also in the midst of our umpteenth COVID scare of the past year with our umpteenth suite of negative test results to match.  I don't understand how it's possible for our family to get so many colds when we barely leave the house. Despite all that, we've been keeping busy...

Gettin' Back in Shape

After losing most of my Jason-weight pretty quickly, I've stalled hard the past few months.  I don't have any excuses but I have a ton of reasons: I really enjoy having wine with dinner most nights. I really enjoy having something sweet after dinner most nights. I really don't enjoy running or any sort of cardio-aerobic activity. I really hate counting calories or keeping a food journal. I seem to always have morning calls, which cause me to miss the exercise class that I like the best.  Every time I got into a rhythm, I would get interrupted with another project that requires morning calls. I can lose weight pretty easily when I actually get my butt in gear so I never feel a sense of urgency about it. I was still nursing and hungry all the time. I could go on & on b ut after weaning Jason about a month ago, I lost that last one.  Since then, I started working out with a trainer every Tuesday afternoon & going to her group class every Friday morning. I...
