9/11/2011 - China Town

From Drop Box

We had a fun and exciting adventure in San Francisco Chinatown. We stumbled upon a fun festival in SF today. We stumbled through the huge crowds, ate yummy kettle corn, bought fancy Chrystanthemum Tea and people watched. We topped off the whole experience by eating delicious potstickers and pork buns. I have to admit I kinda liked the madness of the crowds in Chinatown, even with the two little ones in tow.

9/10/2011 - Little Kicker

From Drop Box

This morning was Finn's first Little Kickers lesson. It was so cute, I could just die!!! Finn did so well integrating in with the kids. He is definitely a rule follower, so he took direction well. The only thing that he really needs to work on is to stop carrying the ball around. This is going to be an AMAZING experience. I was gushing with pure pride and love for the entire hour!

9/9/2011 - Date night with Ray

Date night with Ray La Montagne and Brandi Carlile at the Greek! Amazing concert! Good company. Finn and Liam were in great hands with my good friend and coworker Kari. Life is good!

9/8/2011 - No pic today

Too busy today to even think about taking a picture. Sorry, wish I would have thought about this earlier, what are you going to do?

9/7/2011 - Pumped up

Ah, back to the grind at work and back to the grind at the breastpump. Since I spent the past few days solely nursing Mr. Liam, my milk production is down, which seems counterintuitive. Though I am happy to be able to provide my little one with Mama milk, sometimes it feels like a burden to have to lug my pump to work daily and lock myself in a random office for 20 minutes at a time twice daily to be milked like a cow. But then again, if I stopped doing it, then I wouldn't be able to nurse him so easily at night. Dilemmas. I think I am just tired today, maybe tomorrow I will love my pump again.

9/6/2011 - Champion Flyers

One of the greatest compliments that a parent can receive, is that their children are great flyers. Thank god for well behaved kids that can entertain themselves on the plane. Liam was a bit of a wiggleworm, but stayed mostly happy for all 4 flights. Finn was such a rockstar, he fell asleep on his own for two of the flights. I just love my kids! We are so lucky!

9/5/2011 - Family Bonding Part 2

From Drop Box

Aunt Fran and Uncle Frank so graciously hosted a big family get together at their house with some of the Kelseys and Pierces. Grandma and Grandpa Kelsey got to meet Liam for the first time. Aunt Mary and Uncle Jim met Liam as well. It was great to have so many people loving up the kids, wish I had had more time to visit to everyone.
