Birthday weekend for mom

I realize it’s pretty late to be recapping last weekend but I’m going to do it anyway because (a) these are my favorite posts to read and write and (b) my sister loves feeling in the loop with the family goings-on.  So.  This past weekend we went to visit my parents to celebrate my mom’s birthday.  I thought we were going to have to cancel because P got a GI bug last week that was annihilating him but he turned a corner on Saturday.  Thank goodness.  Poor baby was trying his best to be happy… Read more >

My highlights: weeks 11 & 12

We finally have internet (FOURTH Comcast visit since moving…sooo…third time is not the charm).  Meaning this post is semi-current!  [Depeding on how long it takes me to write and publish] Where to begin!  It has certainly been a crazy April.  But I have to back up to the end of March first.  When we said goodbye to our (rental) house and moved 2 minutes south. We moved here when P was a mere 3 months old and now look at him!  Almost walking and ready to take the world by storm. I was in a… Read more >

Parts of Kyle’s birthday weekend

I took pics of the days surrounding Kyle’s 30th, but never shared them!  Never too late to celebrate?   Here’s the young man and his tower of 30 beers.   Kyle requested an al fresco themed birthday dinner, and since it was gorgeous weather it seemed like a brilliant idea.  We hit up the farmer’s market that day and hung out in the park with friends, soaking up the social scene.  It was a taste of what it to come (once the weather finally commits to warmth in entirety).  The above platter had some old… Read more >

Australia: Bondi and back

Sunday was our last (full) day in Sydney 🙁   We slept in a bit and after feeding P, drove over to Bronte for brunch.  Bogey Hole was one of several cute looking cafes on the main street along the beach front.  They were all pretty packed but after a short wait we were able to snag a spot outside that fit us all, including a very fussy P in his stroller. Kyle got a banana smoothie and toast with jam.  I think we were all feeling a bit blah from the previous night. Laura… Read more >

Australia: Zoo fun

The weekend arrived and we were finally able to go out with all four of us again.  Saturday started with a nice brunch at Cafe Indigo.  It is clearly THE spot in Double Bay.   Kyle got the blueberry pancakes (above) and I got my sister’s fave, the breakfast bruscetta (below). My sister got a new (to her) order, which looks very similar to the salmon benedict but has avocado instead of hollandaise.   P fell asleep in the stroller at lunch so I cut out a bit early to go back home and put… Read more >
