May in a Snapshot

May 3rd- Lily started her 2nd round of gymnastics followed by a park play date of course.


May 4th-Piper in the last few months has really enjoyed reading/being read to.


May the Forth Be With You-


May 5th- Lily recorded a radio commercial for school and got Starbuck treats afterwards with Beth, the owner of her school.


May 8th- Family Sunday Walk and Home Depot Date


May 9th- I completed our black gallery wall


May 10th- walk with friends


My birthday week...Cake from Kristina, cake and lunch at work, and then a lovely surprise from Rollie and all my friends.  They captured me at work and took me for day of wine tasting.  Kosta Browne, lunch and tasting at Hartford, & Martinelli and then dinner at our favorite birthday spot, LoCocco's.  The biggest surprise of all was that Dina flew in from Hawaii to be here!  The next day (my actual birthday) we spent lounging in the square in Sonoma with Keith & Michelle.  Janet watched Piper so we just had Lily which was easy and fun.  35 started out well!


May 20th- we decided to paint the rest of the house...yikes!  And knowing our kitchen reno was right around the corner.  I was super sick of the beige so we are going with a bright clean natural grey. 


May 22nd- we celebrated Quinn's 2nd birthday fish style


May 23rd-K&K watched Piper while Diane (daycare) fought the stomach flu...which then made its way around our entire house, hitting me the worst nearly 2 weeks later in June.  I hadn't been that sick in probably a decade.


May 24th- more gymnastics and a walk home holding hands


May 25th- shopping buddy, and my favorite Peonies


May 28th-fighting the heatwave and Memorial Day BBQ's, bike rides, pools and slip n slides


May 31st-pool date with friends

In the thick of it

Hopefully monthly blogging won't become a habit.  Life has just been crazy.  April was a big blur. We host a bi annual pick up party at work and for the months of April and October I'm pretty much a working like mad or exhausted from working like mad.  Then it took a week to feel normal again! I'm also working split days at the moment (off on Sunday/Tuesday) and its really not fun.  I can't truly enjoy a weekend and its really hard to decompose on Sundays knowing that I have to work the next day.  Hopefully I only 2 more months of it until Piper can start at Lily's preschool/daycare. Rollie was a rock-star Dad as always, taking care of not only the girls but me too.  I know there were days that I was grumpy and not myself.  They did come to visit me one day during the craziness and that helped! Lily is wonderful 90% of the time and a threenager the other 10%.  It's absolutely amazing what a 3.5 year old absorbs and their tiny little imaginatio...

21 Weeks

21 weeks Cooking time: 21 weeks, 1 day Weight gain: +4...I'm thinking from here on out it will probably be 1 pound a week since it was slow to come on in the beggining.  I think this is the ONLY time in my life that I've been called small by several people that know how far along I am.  I've struggled with weight since college, so maybe this is god's kind way of saying...you won't be one of those people who put on 50-60 pounds during pregnancy. Maternity clothes: oh yeah...I LOVE my grey maxi skirt from Target, I think I'll go grab the black one tonight :) Food cravings: red meat still...had a nice burger for lunch today and chocolate...I indulged in a bit too much Easter candy Food dislikes: frozen peas are the only thing I've found so far Missing: Sleeping through the night and beer...I've really been craving a nice cold beer latley and the non-alcholic stuff is crap so its not even worth the calories. What we've been up to: On Saturday ...

My latest read...

I have lots to blog about, Chicago, Michigan, our recent weekend in San Fran...but this comes first.  Last week I was doing my usual 'before bedtime Facebook scan', and I came across a post from a High School friend.  Maggie had posted an article about Natalie Taylors new memoir, 'Signs of Life'.  I knew it was going to be released  this Winter/Spring but it had slipped my mind.  I immediately went onto Amazon and ordered it.  I got the book Thursday and I'll be done tonight (I have 2 more chapters to go).  I'm not a fast reader.  Rollie can back me up on this one.  I got about 6 books for Christmas and I've only finished one so far, and I'm in the middle of two others.  Rollie would have had all of them finished and probably would have bought a few more by now. But back to the point.  A little background on Natalie...Natalie was married to Josh Taylor, one of my closest friends brother and someone that...
