The other day when we were in the playground at Joaquin Miller Park, Claire saw a girl turning around a bar while her father was helping her. She quickly ran up behind the girl and did it on her own, before I had a chance to even offer a hand. Then she did it about [...]

¡Todos nosotros viajamos a México!

It’s probably our last vacation for a while, not because it wasn’t fun, but because it was a decadent splurge. We went to Puerto Vallarta over Christmas for a too-short trip consisting of five days and four nights. We convinced both grandmas to come along and Dinah and Manuel. We had fairly limited options for [...]
Catching up before we go-go

Last weekend we had a second Christmas, this time with our friends Chris and Luc. I realize most of you have not even had one Christmas yet, and we’ve already had two. We are very lucky. We went to the holiday sing-along at preschool and Claire and Ronin sang all of the songs. It was [...]
Early Christmas with Grandpa Bruce

My dad came out for a visit this weekend, and just a few days before he came it occurred to all of us that since most of the family was going to be here now, and since we won’t be here on Christmas, why not celebrate now? It was a whirlwind of shopping and preparations [...]
My day trip to Monterey with the twins

I had an unexpected two days off in a row, so I left Soren at home with my mom on Monday and did a full day trip to Monterey with Claire and Ronin. I’ve been wanting to take them there for a long time, and this seemed like a great opportunity. We left early enough [...]

I recently contributed a video of Claire to a friend’s blog, and since I had to change my video format in order to do so, I am enjoying my new freedom in being able to upload videos that are longer than 30 seconds. We are continuing to split up the twins and Soren on weekends, [...]
Camping in Mendocino National Forest

It was a very warm and pleasant 4th of July weekend, and we decided to go camping in Mendocino National Forest. We have a group camping trip planned later this summer with the Twins By the Bay club at a campground, but we thought it would be nice to get out in the wilderness for [...]
Soren’s 1-year appointment
Posted in Appointments, Measurements, Video included on May 18, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
24 lbs, 3 oz (70th percentile for weight) 30 3/4″ (78th percentile for height) 19″ head circumference (huge!) He got 3 shots and blood tests for anemia and lead, which were fine. He cried, but quieted down quickly. Dr. Phu was impressed when he handed him a book and Soren opened it and pointed to [...]
The past week (or two) at our house, and Happy Mother’s Day

It’s hard to believe that just a year ago I did not have three children! So much has changed since then, but as it’s been a hectic few weeks (oh, who am I kidding? It’s been a hectic few years) I don’t really have the time to sit and reflect on everything. We barely got [...]
Happy Easter, and Soren update

Today the twins coincidentally earned their first reward ever for getting ready for bed expeditiously and going to sleep quietly every night for an entire week in a row, so they got an ice cream treat. The whole family went to an early lunch at Fenton’s Creamery and had ice cream for dessert. It had [...]
