Cowbird

Thursday, January 12th, 2012

I am loving the Cowbird community! The two stories I have wrote have been featured as well as placed on the home page. Take a look, the tags are “Girls” and “Handsome”. This has helped me work on my photography again and I just love the format. Jonathan Harris is a force and so proud to be a part of this project!

Page got a potty for Christmas. She, just now, for the first time, used it in the way for which it was designed.

Boxing Day

Monday, December 26th, 2011

Brendan stayed home today for one more day of family fun. We went into town and got some semi-ok grub at the Los Gatos Cafe. We both decided there needs to be an improved Yelp, because it def wasn’t 4.5 stars. Los Gatos, Where is our breakfast spot??

I had a 3 PM meeting in Palo Alto so we went out for an early hike to Castle Rock, top 5 hikes yet, for sure. It was a gorgeous day here, the sun is still shining on us and we’ll take advantage of it while we can. The rains will come soon!

Page was awake the whole time, signing the ‘Dohdoh Song” and then the “Mama, Dada Song”. She says “Hi!” to everyone we pass. It is the sweetest thing.

Happy Xmas!!

Happy Xmas friends and family! We hope the holidays have been good to you. It’s Page’s first Xmas where she gets it and she is now an expert at unwrapping pressies. Thank you all for the wonderful gifts! As of now her favorites are the tea set, her disco pants and her owl books. We love that she received so many smart toys and books!
