Australia: Sushi night

Wednesday morning was pretty much the same – family walk to the store to get eggs and bananas, then we cooked and played with P until his morning nap. We tried to hit up Bird and Bear Boathouse for lunch (a place that I read several great reviews about) but once we got there we found out they weren’t serving food, just coffee and cookies.  It looked like a great place to sip coffee with pretty views but we needed more than cookies to tide us over.  It was a hike getting there from Double… Read more >

A weekend of Lafayette leaves

I’m so behind in posting!!  Indulge me as I recap last weekend… Thursday night we got a surprise visit from Kyle’s dad.  He was passing through Davis so he spent the night at our place. He arrived during patty-cake’s dinner time.  More peas for P, please! After we all played for a while, it was bedtime for the little guy. We had called in a take-out order from Mermaid sushi earlier, so the boys went to pick it up while I nursed P to sleep.  Yes, that’s a sushi order for 3.  🙂 Love the… Read more >

Me and P

Kinda unintentionally took a little break from the blog.    I wasn’t overly busy, still doing the same work/parent thing, but I just didn’t feel like writing an (uninspired) post about nothingness so I left the computer off.  And that’s that.  Nothing exciting happened while I was away though. For dinners:   I made this creamy dijon tempeh casserole dish again.     This time with 3 blocks of tempeh (I 1 1/2-ed the whole recipe) in an 8×8 casserole dish.  Boom.  Party in my mouth.   That’s taken care of a few dinners/lunches.  Even… Read more >

Perfect Fall weekend

Trrrrrrrrouble. [Don’t be deceived by this photo, he’s not crawling.  At. All.  He rolls to get everywhere.  He’s surprisingly mobile for only using rolling as a means of travel.  I’m sure I’ll be swallowing my words later but it would be nice if he showed some signs of crawling.  Like maybe contact with the ground.  On the other hand, he’s basically ready to walk since he holds himself up using the coffee table or wall as support…hmmm…tummy time to standing?  Kids are confusing.] On Thursday my parents came to Davis to visit for a few… Read more >

Sudwerk with sister

My sister is already back in Australia, but I still have to recap her visit to Davis last week.   Because the pics are cute and because I am trying to be accountable.  Remember?   Oh, and because this happened.  Yup.  So let’s start at the beginning.  I woke up, did the shred level 1 and made breakfast.   Two slices of banana bread and a fried egg.  While I ate, Kyle went to the MD.  Since we moved I figured we should both get seen for a routine checkup (and meet) with our new… Read more >
