Pomegranate Season Again
Posted in California, Susanna on Oct 14th, 2013
Well, the kids and I are still sick. I have had this awful head cold since Thursday. The kids are coughing. So no cute updates. We’ve been watching an assortment of Paddington, Kipper, Daniel Tiger, and Mr Rogers. As my friend Sarah reminded me, one of the pros of living in the 21st century is […]

After the X-Rays…

She has a non-displaced nasal fracture, which means that she does have a little crack, but there’s nothing we can do about it. You know you’re in Southern California when the ENT doc says, “Well, at least now we’ll have this on her file so if she wants a nose job when she’s older, you […]
With our college friend, Joe Hunt, in town over the weekend, we had a great excuse to go out to Malibu and have a beach day. The kids LOVED it, and we really do need to go more often. The kids riding in their “motorboat”… Tommy meticulously worked on details such as the grills at […]
