Sundays With Corin

February 7, 2010

Corin’s first Super Bowl! He called to show me how he’s going to scream and yell at the TV, like the big boys do. Aaaaah!

Happy Something to Me!

January 22, 2010

I’m fortunate to have many amazing girlfriends, not just here in NYC, or in CA, but even around the world. When it comes to celebrating just about anything, my friends are always ready. I wasn’t too keen on celebrating another birthday this year, but celebrating me? Sure, why not! Paige, Nicki, Heather and I started with a fantastic dinner at Double Crown before joining some other friends at the adjoining bar, Madam Geneva. After that, we moved on to Pravda.  Good food, good friends and good times, the perfect way to celebrate anything!

Corin was suffering from a bout of the stomach flu, his first major illness from daycare. Poor little guy was not his usually energetic self, but he still managed to call to wish me a happy birthday. What a trooper!

Happy 2010!

January 10, 2010

The last day of 2009 was a brisk one, and I was happy to celebrate the new year (and new decade) with a few good friends, some tasty bites and beverages, and the comforts of a cozy, warm apartment. Heather’s friend Greg has the perfect place, complete with working fireplace and a toasty fire. It was the perfect way to say hello to 2010!

Happy Holidays, California Style

After a couple days of working in our SF office, I hopped a train bound for SJ, and this little angel. Corin is my favorite baby ever!

Christmas 2009
His newest trick was sucking in his lower lip, so he looks like this. I’m thinking Cabbage Patch Kid, but cuter!

Jumping is a favorite activity

While mommy ran errands, Corin and I decided to step out and enjoy the sunshine.

Corin also got his first tooth while I was visiting, but he was too modest to show it.
