Water

By |2023-04-04T21:08:36+00:00June 15th, 2009|Mommyblog, Uncategorized|

Walker loves water. He loves his bath and he's quite fond of puddles. I found that out the hard way when we went for a walk which was cut short because Mommy didn't realize that puddles were like the Muses to the ancient sailors -- toddlers are unable to resist their calls. Walker was no

Jewish Gymboree

Last night, Walker, Larry and I attended Shabbat Family Services at Temple Emanu-El. It was absolutely fantastic. I didn't really know what to expect but one of Walker's friends at day care attends regularly and she and her mom thought it would be neat if Walker could go with her. Walker looked dapper in his

Birthday begins at sundown

Tomorrow is my birthday but I was presented with quite a treat upon my return home this evening... Larry and Walker decided to inform the neighborhood (and passersby) that I am now part of what my HR friend calls "the protected class." This broad gesture was the pinnacle of an already wonderful day -- on

HE DID IT

As I've previously mentioned, Walker is now talking a lot more. About two weeks ago he started with "HELP ME" which was often said in a raspy, breathy voice as he was straining to do something (like push the exercise ball through the open baby gate or pick up something heavy). It is

Mother’s Day 2009

By |2023-04-04T21:08:36+00:00May 10th, 2009|Mommyblog, Uncategorized|

This was the best Mother's Day ever. OK, granted, I've only had one other one for comparison but really, this one was pretty spectacular. We made it a long weekend. Larry and I dropped off the Little Man, packed up the car for a weekend at Sea Ranch and headed off to a 10:30 showing

One great vacation

Walker discovers balloons at his friend Lucas's first birthday. It didn't really occur to us that Walker hadn't spent much (or any) time with these wonderful things. He didn't really want to share once he figured out how fun they were. I sit here drinking some wine, looking over work email, and pondering

Staycation

By |2017-06-27T07:48:29+00:00April 12th, 2009|One more thing|

Adobe is very generous giving employees with five years of service a three week sabbatical. You have two years to take the time off and then you lose it. At the end of this month, I will have been with Adobe seven years, thus, it was now or never for the sabbatical. Larry and I

On being efficient…

By |2009-03-31T20:26:51+00:00March 31st, 2009|One more thing|

I apologize. I thought I was all about doing one more thing but something recently slipped by me. My wonderful Scion has had a very slow leak in one of the tires and every day, I go out and check to see if I need to stop by a garage to get the darn thing

Train set

By |2017-06-30T07:04:00+00:00March 30th, 2009|One more thing|

Walker would like to take a moment to thank the wonderful Hunt family for the fantastic train set and play area. It's the first thing he plays with in the morning and the last thing he plays with in the afternoon. Mommy and Daddy spend a lot of time fixing the tracks after Walker does

How much CO2 have you saved?

By |2017-06-30T07:03:31+00:00March 18th, 2009|One more thing|

Hooray! Today our little house began to be a more green place to live. Our solar system went online and we saved about four pounds of carbon dioxide in the last two hours of sunlight of the day. It was very exciting to see the electric meter spin backwards and know PG&E can pump a
