Sadly, our fun family weekend has come to an end. Kathy and Marc arrived on Friday night and had lots of Lily time until they left this afternoon. We had a nice dinner at Fabrocini's on Friday night and on Saturday, Marc, Matt & my Dad headed for the Long Beach race track for the qualifying rounds and pre-race festivities. Brian has been at Coachella so he couldn't make it.Dad with driver, E.J. Visio, one of the drivers who is sponsored by Herbalife.
His helmet looks pretty cool. The guys got a really nice tour from E.J. and spent some time in the pit with the crew while they were working on the car.
Matt & Marc with another Herbalife sponsored driver, Townsend Bell. Townsend placed 4th in the Indy 500 last year and he'll be racing at Indy again this year, though he wasn't racing today.
While the guys were at the track, Kathy, my Mom and I went to Malibu for lunch at Duke's. In the evening, Caren and Zach came by and we all went out for dinner at Chablis.
Poor Lily got lost behind the wine glasses.

Grandpa Marc & Lily this morning. We spent hours outside today- sitting around, playing on the grass, staring at the sky... it was a really good day. But we were very sad when they had to head back up North.

Now we're on countdown to Aunt Kim's visit this coming weekend. We've got job stuff to do and I'm on a mission to find Lily a new pediatrician this week so I think the week will go by quickly.

Oh, and Lily got her 2nd tooth in on Thursday! She's now rockin' two front bottom teeth. :)

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...
