Lunch With James

We went to the new grilled cheese shop in Pasadena. (Shop-love that word). It was good, conversation was better.

Dr Klauser Rocks

Her patient gave her these flowers. No, I wasn't that patient.

Brooke's Boyfriend

I honestly didn't think I needed to worry about this or quite some time......PS her "boyfriend" is so similar to Coleman it's spooky. (Remember early on we said Sydney would marry Coleman)

Sydney, You Are Special Too!

Sydney was a bit distressed with all of the attention on Brooke the last couple of days. I heard the following a couple of times: "Everyone is hurting my feelings because I'm special too". I did my best to explain it to her but she really kept coming back to it. I love you, Sydney! I can't believe you are going to be 5 soon!

Happy Birthday, Kiersten!

I love you and am so lucky that I was able to spend your first birthday with you! Your big cousin Sydney adores you too-I love the picture she made you.

After David left for the airport, Monday, the girls and I went outside and played for awhile. Take away: Even though its been cold we haven't spent enough time outside enjoying our yard. We will remedy that ASAP

Time For Popsicles

The Sauer family is visiting and we are lucky to have them staying with us. Love these kiddos.

Trader Vic's With Becca and Jason

We went out last night with Becca and Jason. We went to Trader Vic's and it was the first time we have been out with Becca and Jason sans kids in at least seven years. (Wow) I think we need to do it more often.

Sydney loves worms, her mom not so much. Good think Aunt Grace is so cool.

Play Date at Micah's

Yesterday morning Sydney woke up and said "Mom, you know who we haven't seen in a long time? Micah!" That led to a quick call to Uncle Matt and an afternoon play date. Good time had by all.
