Happy Nappy (3/4/10)

Sleep is still a big part of Nola's day. It may not be all that exciting to the readers, but it is important to her, so it goes in the blog.

Anniversary

Brett and I got away for a few hours tonight on our anniversary. Our sixth! We got in leisure time outside a Church St. coffeehouse and enjoyed the sun. We found we could still talk like the old days...conversations that had nothing to do with kids: the pope scandal, multitasking and the havoc it wreaks on the brain, alaska, the sci fi book, Red Mars. We then dashed off to a delicious dinner at the Moss Room at the Academy of Sciences. A gem of a find and our first date in four months involving real silverware, cloth napkins, candles, where kidproofing was not a factor in choice.

There's a Bug on Your Face

She's Having a Ball

Globetrotters

The Millers invited us along to see the Harlem Globetrotters at the Cow Palace in SF. Sarek and Dexter were more interested in running around the 1/2 (or more) empty stadium.

I'm glad I remember the Meadowlark Lemon days.

Call the Police!

The fashion police that is.

Running the Table

Well she is not running, but she can start walking around table these days. Full fledged indepentdent locomotion is imminent.

Pool Party

Nola and Brett at her Monday swim group. The really sad thing is that both Brett and I can't remember who Sarek was with during this time....Jaretta? We sure hope so. Proof that sleep deprivation is alive and well here on Gates St.

She's A Very Squealy Girl

Mother-daughter time after a long call shift and even longer week at work. I want my hubby to get a job so I can get back to my kids! I'm wearing scrubs in this video.

Parked

Second kid...second-rate parenting. Sorry, sweet girl. The country bumpkin look would work better if you lost the lion.

Kool Kat

This one is for you, Banu. Muuuah!

The Big Four-O

Sarek went to the doctor today and weighed in at 40 pounds! Yikes. That's a 3 pound growth spurt in 3 months if you factor in a pound of clothing weight. It makes my lap and hips and arms tired just thinking about his heft. No wonder it took 4 days for him to be born!

The Anne-Marie

Perry took Brett and Sarek to see his new sailboat, The Anne-Marie, which is docked at Treasure Island. Sarek loved it. For some reason, he thinks the boat is "silly." We hope to take him out for his first sail after we get him a life vest.
