The Good Old Days

We're a little late, but we finally cracked open our book on raising a toddler.  Jace is growing up way too fast and I'm still in denial that he's no longer an infant.  I had to look through some old pictures to remind myself how far he's come - how far our family has come, actually.  <sniff, sniff>  Slow down, big boy...

 

 

 

 

Dolores Park, San Francisco

If you haven't already checked out Dolores Park in San Francisco, you definitely need to go while the weather permits.  I like to describe it as a beach with grass (in place of sand) and you'll know why when you see it.  We went with some friends months ago, but I recently came across these pictures and had to share because the first one always makes me smile when I look at it.  This cute little girl, Ella, was born on the exact same day as Jace - about an hour later.  We like to joke that they're twins (since they kind of are).  How adorable are these two sharing this little swing?

Doctor Visits

Call me crazy, but I look forward to doctor visits!  Well, not my own, of course... but Jace's doctor visits.  It's exciting to find out how he's developing and get advice on reaching the next milestone.  Jace just had his 15-month check-up and everything is looking great.  Below are some photos from our recent visit as well as a few from his first year.

 

David "the Dragon" Turns THIRTY-SIX!

We celebrated my brother, David's, 36th birthday this past weekend.  Given that it's the year of the Dragon, and he's a dragon, we decided to go with a simple... well, dragon theme. :)  He's not a big fan of desserts, so we had to pick up his favorite cheesecake - white chocolate raspberry truffle.  And yes, it tastes as good as it sounds!
