May Day

This weekend was so perfectly Hermosa.  The weather was phenomenal and we had the windows and doors open all weekend.  I scrubbed the patio furniture and pulled all the weeds in the backyard so we're officially ready for summer.  Lily had her final softball game and I had zero (count 'em; zero!) errands to do.  Perfection!

Morning selfie.  I forgot how perfectly happy babies are when they wake up in the morning. 

Jason is such a happy dude.  I suppose if I have to be woken up before my alarm every morning this is the best way.

One of the beautiful touches from Lily's communion party was that Marlene put a photo of Lil on each table.  Here they are, all lined up!

Jason chillin' at the park with one of his baby friends.

Trying out the swings for the first time.

Looking suave in his Ralph Lauren jumper.

Trying rice cereal (his first "solid" food) for the first time this past Wednesday.  He hasn't been as into food as I had hoped.  He might be a little young.  Normally I wouldn't push him but I am freaking out about leaving him for 3 days to go to Kim's bachelorette party in Palm Springs.  I'm hoping that we can get him used to having food so he doesn't miss nursing as much as he would otherwise.

Lil, Jason & Shel at Locale 90 for a Hermosa View fundraiser on Wednesday.

Wonky smiles.

Lily straight muggin' and Jason straight confused.

Chompin' on his fingers.  You can see his two little teeth.

Goofin' around the other day.

And eating carrots for the first time yesterday.

He's loving his play gym still.  Endless fun!

The Pink Pandas after their last game of the season today.  It was a win too!

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...
