We went to the same place as last year, in Playa del Carmen on the Mexican Riviera. In so many ways, it was much nicer and more relaxing than last year. Despite a few tumbles, we could trust the twins to run around on the jungle paths without falling too often. We didn’t have to [...]

Lake Chabot
Posted in Video included on October 24, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
I do not remember having this many aches and pains so early on with my previous pregnancies. I’m hobbling around, so I’m totally amazed that we managed to go for a fairly long walk today. After I get warmed up, it’s much easier. We went to the Regional Park of Lake Chabot today.
Claire looked adorable [...]
Pushing on the swings

Before I get to our playground pictures, I just want to share with you yet another sleeping baby picture. It’s been a tough sleeping week (month, year), but I’m having a harder time than usual with their sleep shenanigans because Justin is out of town. I don’t have anyone to come relieve me if it’s [...]
Party at the Little Farm

We went to the Little Farm in Berkeley last weekend, knowing that we were getting there near closing time but desperate to do something fun with the babies AND get rid of our excess accidentally-bought celery. Much to our surprise, they were having a big party there, with live music and booths. My mom made [...]
Playground fun

I started back to work this week, finally, after being off since late May. It’s very exciting for me, and I’m still catching up on all the changes since I was last there. The twins are really happy to be spending more time with their grandma, but they’re probably not going to like their frequent [...]
Paging Dr. Ronin!
Posted in Video included on August 12, 2009 | 1 Comment »
My aunt Linda just sent a huge box of toys for Claire and Ronin. It included a doctor costume and a doctor kit, a Little Hardhats DVD, a toy train, a couple of real cell phones (batteries removed), and some stuffed animals. It has been non-stop excitement over here.
Both children are well on their way [...]
Bay Area Discovery Museum
Posted in Video included on August 8, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Last weekend we went to the Bay Area Discovery Museum. It’s a little ways away, in Sausalito, so it means a 45-minute drive to and fro even without traffic, but I think it’s my favorite kid-related activity center so far. We left after nap/lunch and still didn’t have time to visit all of the areas [...]
Children’s Fairyland

Mom and I took the twins to Children’s Fairyland last week. It’s the park that started the whole concept of theme parks, and it’s only one highway exit away from me. Frank Oz of the muppets worked there, doing puppet shows as a teenager. The founder had a vision of “fairytale and storybook sets [...]
Happy Birthday!

It’s hard to believe, and at the same time, it feels so totally normal. Justin and I were home last night, and I was lying on the floor, and Ronin was driving cars over me and Claire was leaning over to see how close she could get to my face (pretty close) and I [...]
Visit to MOCHA (Museum of Children’s Art)
Posted in Arts and crafts, Video included on July 24, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
It has suddenly occurred to me that my little babies are turning TWO this upcoming weekend, and any “children under two are free” benefits that we might have enjoyed will be vanishing forever. So I hurriedly looked up a couple of activities I’d always planned on doing and never got around to, like visiting MOCHA. [...]
