Aunt Meem Gets Married!

-
Goofing around on Thursday night after we got to Walnut Creek.

No caption I could give would do this photo justice.

Looking sweet at the rehearsal dinner on Friday.

Lil wearing her flower girl robe from Aunt Kim.  She was so excited to do hair and makeup before the wedding.
 
Jason just crawled around all day, trying to get in the mix.

Still crawling.

Almost ready.

Just before we hopped in the car.

And then we skip ahead to dinner because I took almost no photos since (1) I had no pockets to hold my phone; (2) I was holding Jason a lot; and (3) I was having such a good time that I didn't think to take photos.

Matt looking dapper.

Jason delighted at the paper menu... which he later ate like a goat.

Lily coming back triumphant with her "non-alcoholic non-soda special drink."

Lily & my Dad busting a move.  The Zimmers (plus Lily) dominated the dance floor!

Jason made a baby friend and engaged in some friendly head-butting.

Hanging with Grandma Kathy at Primos!

And Grandpa Marc.

I'm not sure who took this one but I love it!

Jason doing some yoga moves.

Lily grabbing a carb-centric snack before the wedding dinner.

Jason busted through the screen door... with a heart sticker on his butt.

Sonal, Matt & I took the kids to the pier beach for the Everclear concert yesterday.  The kids were so good & the boxed wine we snuck in wasn't 1/2 bad. 
Cheers!


Snuggles in the morning. 
Crawling around tonight.  Jason can now go from sitting to crawling, to rolling over and back to sitting, all on his own.  He's quite the mover now!

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...
