Back in February, our great friends Lino and Claudia had a baby girl. We happened to be down in LA (where they live) at the time this gorgeous baby arrived, and we got to meet her less than 24 hours after she was born. Seriously amazing. We stopped in at the hospital and stayed for …

Comedy of Errors
One day last week, I was riding along on my way to pick the kids up from school on Wednesday, when I saw someone open up their driver side door about a block ahead of me. It’s a pretty busy street so I gave a quick glance over my shoulder and moved my bike out …
Weekend Update
>Our weekend kicked off on Friday afternoon when Tom rode his bike home from work and found Hot Wheels sitting in the driveway waiting for him, counting. >Found this on the floor in the art room: >Saturday morning I got to go to ballet.

Great Ideas
Tom and Hot Wheels were riding to school this morning when Hot Wheels had a great idea. “I have a great idea” is what he said. “We could sell our house and buy a Bugatti Veyron!” The first letdown of the day is always a bummer. Even if we were to green light that particular …
Weekend
This was a weekend of anniversaries. Yesterday was Carmen’s Anniversary of Profession! Yay, Carmen!! A year ago on that wonderful day, Carmen and I were here: Yep – Machu Picchu.

Chicken Littles
Honey is eight, as I’ve mentioned before. Like many an eight year old, she is a fervent lobbyist for No Pet Left Behind, with a firm agenda that every household should have at least a dozen pets. Like many a lobbyist, she is persistent and wily, but the administration has remained inflexible on this issue, …
Swan Lake
Well as it turned out, the SFB didn’t need my help last night after all. They didn’t even need Amy’s help, and she knows the Pas de Quatre, for crying out loud. Sigh, maybe next time. I’ve wanted to see Swan Lake since I was a little girl, and it was everything I hoped for, …
This n’ That
Is it really possible that I’ve resisted using an n’ in my blog titles for an entire year? Yes it is. I had to check my list of posts, and it’s hard to believe, but true. So watch out, y’all, because this might be the year of the apostrophe. ANYway, last weekend was a nice …
