I’m not exactly a foodie, but I like to cook and I like real food (vs the packaged stuff), so I subscribe to quite a few food blogs and spend many an evening searching google for dinner ideas. More often than I like to admit, I model our dinners after the food google is serving […]

We joined Dennis and his family at the Oakland Zoo in an effort to make our kids think we are as much fun as Grandpa Texas. They had a blast. Will is usually too fast for pictures, unless he is clinging on for dear life: Or torturing his sister: So, we end up with a […]

Here are a few pictures from Ruby’s shower last weekend. In Grandma’s arms: On her new blankie:

He has somehow, in the time since, acquired an extreme interest in Indiana Jones, and when inspired by the slightest thing, he hums the Indiana Jones theme song, replete with whip cracking sound effects.

One of two I made last night before… the mishap. (the other is pink)

Those Fisker super sharp scissors are super sharp. Learned the hard way when I took them away from my 2 year old after she walked in on my tutu making and grabbed them off the stool. This was a 1.2 inch lesson learned by my thumb.
