Jogging a 5K on May 1st - Please Donate!

On May 1st, Joaquin and I will be jogging a 5K. The charity we are jogging for is called SHORTSTOP, and is a juvenile crime diversion program supported by the Orange County Bar Association.

If you would like to support us, please donate here. Thank you!

Old Picture of the Pups

I saw this picture of Bananas and our old doggy, Lupas, on my computer and it made me smile. Enjoy!

New Record!

Joaquin slept from 7:30 pm to 4:30 am last night without a peep. Heaven!!!

Toys!!

It's funny how you don't realize how BIG some small developments can really be until they happen. In recent weeks Joaquin has shown a real interest in toys and an ability to pick them up and otherwise manipulate them. No big deal right? Wrong. It is amazing how we can now distract him from something unpleasant (like being stuck in a car seat) with a toy or keep him busy playing while we unload the dishwasher.

It is so much fun to watch as all of these small developments start to add up!

Aaaaahhhhh... weekends are nice

I was spoiled for the last several months on maternity leave. Weekends were great because they meant that Jay would be around, but that was the only big difference. I had forgotten how nice weekends really are.

After losing my last weekend to a big merger, I have suddenly remembered what precious days Saturday and Sunday can be. This weekend has been great so far. I worked from home on Friday, so it has felt extra long and luxurious. Jay and I had a lot of fun yesterday taking two separate walks on the beach, one bike ride with Joaquin to the pier and driving around Turtle Rock looking at open houses. We even found one house we really liked. And on Friday, I completed our home office conversion, although I am still waiting on delivery of our new desktop. Pictures will follow in a week or so once it's in tip top shape.

Today we are relaxing at home until Joaquin's second nap ends. Then we are driving to Eastbluff in hopes of catching a few more open houses. Fun times!
