We’ll be spending the weekend balancing fun kid stuff with equity improving small maintenance projects on the house, but we might start off with some Teenage Mutant Ninja papercrafts.

There is an interesting article in Science Daily that I have to post because I’ve had trouble looking at that chocolate in my cabinet since reading it. Allegedly the more carbs we eat, the more appetite suppressing cells we kill. Increase in carbohydrate consumption over the years has also been correlated with increase in brain […]

Inspired by Angry Chicken’s Banh Mi we had our own variation this evening. Our recipe: 1 baguette sliced into sandwich size and split in half 1 carrot, shaved 1 bunch cilantro (can’t have enough) 1 daikon radish, shaved 1 jalapeno, sliced into thin strips 2 c cooked rice vermicelli 1 pkg flavored, smoked tofu OR […]

Our kids are a-political. But I believe it is never too early to teach them morals, how to treat others and who we look up to, so we’ve been teaching the kids about Barack Obama. Sylvie says “Bock Mama” and “Vote Bock Mama”. I think we need tshirts.

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:

We took Will to see Indiana Jones shortly after it came out. 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. Whi-psch! (Where did he learn that? Is that what […]
