New Baby, New Year

-
My New Year's Eve was tame, as usual.  Jason fell asleep...

... then Lil fell asleep... then I fell asleep, all by about 9:30.

My work arrangement for the time being.  The sling is my last resort when he's being a cranky pans and I need to get work done.

Morning smiles!

He just outgrew my favorite newborn outfit of his.  I've bought almost no clothing for him since we had generous hand-me-downs from Liz & received lots of new stuff from friends and family, but I couldn't resist this outfit.  We took him home from the hospital in it and now he has hulked out of it.  :(

Jason's first trip to Disneyland on the 6th.  It was crazy crowded but we still had fun.

It really is the happiest place on Earth.

Christmas decorations were still up, which was a nice surprise.

Making such mature faces on the 7th.


More smiles.

Ready for the game last Sunday.

My brother got him this jersey.  It's like a dress right now but we're definitely putting him in it again tomorrow.

At the park on MLK Day.

I swear he was smiling right before I took this photo.

More smiles.  He's one happy baby.

And he's very loved by his big sister.

Lil started piano lessons yesterday.

And we did the women's march this morning.  The starting point was literally a mile from our house, which was really nice. 

It was so cool to see everyone marching up our neighborhood in solidarity.

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...
