We headed out Friday afternoon for a weekend trip to North Tahoe to ski and made it there finally after plowing through a long stretch of Friday rushhour traffic. The plan originally was for us to stay at the same hotel with the Jarvinens, but due to some lodging issues, we ended up staying at […]

I happened to be at the mall this past weekend and saw that one of my favorite stores is going belly up. Janeville, the women’s version of Gymboree, was having a clearance sale on everything including the hangers so I scrounged up a couple T’s from their stock as I bid my final farewell to […]

Nicholas and Wesley celebrated their birthdays at the Jungle Saturday morning with several classmates and friends.

I think the head teacher got sick of the scene (after 15 or so minutes of him basically throwing a fit like […]

Swimming classes started up again this past week. Nicholas is now enrolled in their Octopus Class while Wesley is enrolled in their Jellyfish Class. Nicholas was thrilled to find out that Mr. Adam will be his teacher again. Nicholas got 3 new classmates for this session, and all 4 kids seem to be at the […]

Our 2006 holiday celebration at work got postponed till January 5th of 2007 luckily so I was able to join everyone for the celebrating. We lunched at the Left Bank Restaurant in Santana Row and enjoyed a meal of Escargots, Moule Frites, Pineapple Juice (from concentrate unfortunately), a couple sips of merlot, and a dessert […]

This year, we spent a total of 2 weeks down south with the rest of Grace’s family (8 adults and 4 kids all under the same roof).
