I realized that I'd yet to post any pics of Lily's new digs:
This side is a bit cluttered but she just has too much stuff.
Lily took this picture!
Lily couldn't fit into this onesie that Jessica C. made her because her belly is too big. :)
Now that Lils is fully mobile, she always crawls to the garbage cans to look at her reflection.
The other day, she tried to crawl under Kota's legs, hit her head & turned around.



Playing with bubbles in the front yard on Friday afternoon.

Bath time on Friday.
Playing on Saturday morning.
All dolled up and ready to meet Aunt Kim for lunch in Westwood.
B girls unite!
We had a pretty chill day yesterday- pizza, wine & Jersey Shore nicknames generated by a magical online program. Here are the amazing nicknames we got:
Matt- The Deltoid
Brian- Gun Show
Dad- Juice Springstein
Mom- J-Cat
Kim- Tanny
Me- Sunny
Lily- The Incident.
They're all hilarious but Kim's & Lily's struck me as the most fitting.

We woke up on the early side this morning and headed over to the Farmers' Market in Studio City. It was, without a doubt, the most incredible Farmers' Market I've ever seen. There was a petting zoo with adorable baby goats, a "train" for little kids to ride on, really amazing gourmet popsicles & tons of fresh produce. It was about 80* and a really perfect Southern California day.

Once we got home, we put our swim suits on and took Lily swimming for the first time. She absolutely loved it. She smiles the entire time, kicking her legs and waving her arms furiously. She looked so cute in her little swim suit. I'll get the photos off of Kim's camera and post them later.

Matt and I have our DMV appointment tomorrow morning to get our CA licenses but hopefully the rest of the day holds more hanging out by the pool!

New Digs (Kind Of)

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 ...

January 2021

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...
