Today has been the kind of wonderful day that makes me want to freeze now and save it forever. Lily has been in such a fun mood and we've had fun just hanging out and playing.Lily is a proud b(u/e)rger in the onesie that Aunt Kim made.
Grandma Kathy & Grandpa Marc gave her this t-shirt for Christmas. It says "Cupcakes are the new black" and has little cupcakes with skull tops on them. Lily loved it so much that she was trying to look at it after I put it on her.
She likes her hoodie too! Today Lily and I are both rockin' boyfriend jeans.
Holla!
This mini-wagon is still one of Lily's favorite toys. I guess I can't say that my law firm never did anything nice for me. Her favorite game of the moment is for me to put all of my pogs (remember pogs? so nineties...) in the wagon. She goes through them all- putting them in her mouth, throwing them around- and when they're all out of the wagon and she's turned the wagon over, I turn it back and fill it up again. This game is key when I need 15 minutes to change the laundry out or do something else around the house (or, um, update my blog).
We just got in from spending over an hour outside with Grandma Judy. We got our vitamin D for the day.
Lily and I read Real Simple magazine and shared our favorite tips for using household items creatively and scoring internet deals on cosmetics. We called Grandpa Tom and I think he was jealous that he was at work while we lounged in the backyard.
Yesterday I made the mistake of playing this game right after I nursed Lily. I'll let you guess what gross thing happened. If you guessed baby spit up down my shirt, you're right!
She wanted to lunge into the grass so badly. She kept rocking forward and playing with it.
After an hour of rolling around outside, she was tuckered out.
But not too tuckered out to give a totally cute smile. She's looking more like her Dad every day but she looks like Uncle Brian as a baby in this photo.

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...
