[T]he other night, during dinner, Ramsey and I were talking excitedly and high-fived each other across the table in front of Rhys. Rams turned to Rhys and said “High five, Rhys!” Without delay, Rhys promptly slapped his dad’s open hand. His first high-five. We were so surprised at his quick response that we started laughing… Continue reading high five

nevermind
[T]he vinyl reissue of Nirvana’s Nevermind was a must-have for my audiophile husband. Rhys is way into the album artwork. It’s just so meta.
dining with dad: short order
[W]e finally made it over to Nancy Silverton’s newest spot for dinner last night. Short Order is a polished greasy spoon positioned in the outer corner at Farmer’s Market on Fairfax. The servers weave around the patio tables clad in clam diggers and striped tees. Beers are served in mason jars, checks are presented paper clipped… Continue reading dining with dad: short order
computer rhys
[M]y son has an affinity for computers. Like big time. So, for Christmas, we got him a play computer. It’s great– it teaches the alphabet, numbers, and even a little Spanish. Que bueno. Rhys is middy amused by it, playing alongside dad, learning shapes and colors. I’ll say, however, that he is well aware his… Continue reading computer rhys
dining with dad: fu-shing
[A]s our favorite food critic, Jonathan Gold promised, Fu-Shing is delicious! After drooling over camera equipment at Samy’s in Pasadena, (and getting a new speed light flash for my Nikon!), we were starved. We traveled east on Colorado Blvd. a few miles and wandered into the Chinese restaurant. Apparently, 3pm Sunday lunches are popular among those with… Continue reading dining with dad: fu-shing
happy new year!
It’s almost 2012! I plan to pop a bottle of Veuve, don some sparkles and toast with friends. I wish you all a happy and safe New Year’s Eve!
happy holidays!
Hope everyone is having happy and safe holidays! I’ll be back to regular posts once we’re back from our holiday travels.
nine months old
Holy crap. This year has flown by at warp speed. I am alarmed at how fast it’s gone. Even more shocking to me is the fact that my baby is 9 months old. I mean, what? How in the world is that possible? It almost makes me mad. Perhaps I’ll compose a heated letter to… Continue reading nine months old
bookworm
I am very grateful for the Silver Lake Branch library. Firstly, it’s beautiful–modern architecture with clean lines. It’s full of wondrous books and media. And best of all, it’s within walking distance from our house. Yes, it’s frowned upon to speak above a whisper in the library. My son, the squealer, didn’t adhere to that… Continue reading bookworm
the bib dilemna
Rhys is pretty into eating now. He’s really getting the hang of it, and he’s having a blast. Well, I should clarify: he’s having fun whether food is being spooned into his mouth or not. His newest game is ‘let’s chew on the bib’. Between bites, the bib is in the mouth, sometimes for a… Continue reading the bib dilemna
