Yearly Archives: 2007

Today was a day I was dreading -- first day back to work. But honestly, it went extremely smoothly. I chalk it up to good preparation and having a very solid family. Larry and I spent Saturday with friends at the Half Moon Bay Pumpkin Festival (see photos on the Flickr feed) and then had

Nothin' to worry about. Today went smoothly and Walker seemed to enjoy himself. Larry and I arrived at Sofia's to drop of our little man. The house smelled incredible. As I gave Lisa his bin of belongings (choking back a few tears), Sofia took some hot blintzes off the skillet and gave them to us.

Well, today was the last day of maternity. Walker starts day care tomorrow (Larry's and my 11 year anniversary) and Monday I go back to work. (I've had to be very careful with how I reference this transition. I've found that I've been saying things like, "this is our last day together" which makes it

I sit here late on Sunday evening considering what to do with the rest of my waking time -- writing thank you notes, paying bills or blogging. Given I have a mere week before I return to work, I have decided to spend the time writing to all of you. There are just four more

When I was 10 I was nipped by a dog on my face. It was my fault (I was trying to cuddle with a bookstore dog I didn't really know) but I was a bit wary of dogs after that. We always had cats. When I was 21, I moved to San Francisco and lived

Today we have a guest blogger... WALKER... as told to DADDY! Here's what the day looked like while Mommy was at work: 7:45 am - Mommy leaves for meeting at Adobe in San Jose. Bye, Mommy! See you soon! 8:10 am - I'm a little tired of Daddy reading me the newspaper, so I start

Today was an incredible day in San Francisco. One of those rare warm and calm days with not a cloud (or fog) in the sky. Mommo (Gigi) went home last night after a wonderful albeit short trip to see the Walker Meringue Pie and Larry had some writing to do. Therefore, Walker and I had

I can't believe it. Today Walker is 13 weeks old and tomorrow he'll be a full 3 months. He's 15 pounds and I've got him wearing clothes for 6 month old babies. Folks are genuinely surprised to learn that he's so young for his size. He's not growing at the same rate he was early

This is the first entry in a long time (and don't miss the video below as well). Walker is getting bigger and he's sleeping better although Larry is singing "Dixie Chicken" to him right now because he's screaming. He really doesn't like going to sleep at night (but once asleep he enjoys it). He wants

Walker makes the best sounds. I had to capture it on video. I didn't really think about how it would appear when I filmed it so it looks like he's unnaturally suspended sideways. Oh, I mean, I meant to do that. It's kinda like the old Batman show...  Bam. Pow. Goo. Gaaa.
