Cruising With The Windows Open And Heat On High

2014-06-02T22:10:00.000-07:00

I would like to say that I'm glad Ash is finally feeling better but we need to figure out this problem with her engine overheating when idling before we do any damage to the engine.

Finally Creating Space In The Living Room

2014-06-01T22:01:00.000-07:00

I would like to say that I think RaiRai is finally over this bug and can go back to daycare tomorrow but I'm not sure Ash will be able to go back yet.

Walking Around Mountain View

2014-05-31T22:00:00.000-07:00

I would like to thank Hanna and Seth for treating us all out to brunch and say huge congratulations on their expected bundle of joy later this year.

Carter's A Big Boy

2014-05-30T22:00:00.000-07:00

I would like to say that I can't believe I ordered all this Munchery food and Ash is too sick to eat any of it but playing soccer tonight was pretty fun even though we ended up tying.

Hitting Mom Harder Than RaiRai

2014-05-29T21:58:00.000-07:00

I would like to say that I hate skipping soccer, but it's probably best to let my back heal one more night and I can't believe that both RaiRai and Ash are stuck at home again tomorrow with GI issues.

iPad Air For Mom

2014-05-28T21:21:00.000-07:00

I would like to say that I hope my Mom takes the time to learn how to use the new iPad we gave her since she has been asking for one for quite a while.

Working With Big Guy

2014-05-27T21:56:00.000-07:00

I would like to say that I hope RaiRai's stools return to normal or she's not going to be allowed to go to daycare soon.

RaiRai Explodes

2014-05-26T21:21:00.000-07:00

I would like to say that we had a nice morning at Tahoe Donner State Park doing a nice walk and playing in the water some more before a pretty good drive home with a major diaper explosion on the way.

Enjoying The Weather

2014-05-25T21:18:00.000-07:00

I would like to say that despite all of Ali's freaking out, I think we enjoyed our time at the Tahoe Donner Beach and RaiRai liked playing in the sand and water and it was nice to enjoy some wine and pasta for dinner after the kiddos went to bed.

Playing With Loup And Elaine

2014-05-24T21:16:00.000-07:00

I would like to thank Neeraj and Aparna for enjoying one more breakfast with us before they headed up to Napa and say that I'm glad our drive to Tahoe went alright despite my mini migraine that at least disappeared after an hour and a half nap.

Crashing Early

2014-05-23T21:15:00.000-07:00

I would like to say that I'm glad we decided not to drive to Tahoe tonight since Ash and I are both exhausted but I'm bummed that we didn't make it long enough to hang out with Neeraj and Aparna tonight.

Waiting For Shrimp Soup

2014-05-22T21:14:00.000-07:00

I would like to say that tonight was hectic trying to prepare our apartment for Neeraj and Aparna's arrival but I think it was nice to see them and enjoyed some tasty Mexican food.

Whip Myself Into Shape

2014-05-21T21:12:00.000-07:00

I would like to say that although I feel fine when I'm actually playing soccer, I'm a little worried about my back and I really need to start doing some of my physical therapy exercises.

The RFAI Begins

2014-05-20T21:11:00.000-07:00

I would like to say that these questions from the FDA are much more difficult than the last time but I still think they can be answered.

It Hurts More Mentally

2014-05-19T21:09:00.000-07:00

I would like to say that I hate paying full price doctor bills even since we have the high deductible plan even though it actually is cheaper since our premiums are much lower.

RaiRai's Finally Back On Schedule

2014-05-18T22:26:00.000-07:00

I would like to say that I hope Mom likes her new iPad that my bro and I are getting her and that I felt like we got a lot accomplished today with cooking, doing laundry, working out, grocery shopping, and playing with RaiRai all day long.

Welcome Leila Anita

2014-05-17T23:24:00.000-07:00

I would like to congratulate my brother, Carolina, and Ariana on their lovely baby girl Leila who was born this morning, thank Michael, Glenda, and Marty for hosting us for a tasty lunch today in San Jose, and also thank Polina and Matt for coming over for takeout Bangkok Cuisine this evening so that we can keep RaiRai on her schedule to get her fully back on the right time zone.

Last Day Of Me Dropping RaiRai Off

2014-05-16T23:21:00.000-07:00

I would like to say that my second game this week went well although I am still sore and that although Ash didn't love it, I thought our Munchery meal was pretty decent, although not exactly healthy.

The Exhaustion Is Setting In

2014-05-15T22:19:00.000-07:00

I would like to say that although I felt great playing last night, the soreness has set in and I am clearly not in shape yet but I'm glad RaiRai finally took a good nap early at daycare today as she's transitioning into our timezone.

Waking RaiRai Up To Get Her Back On Schedule

2014-05-14T23:18:00.000-07:00

I would like to say that I don't believe that RaiRai is really sick and that she's getting over her cold and the fact that she threw up was just a result of all the mucus she has in her chest but it was nice to get to hang out with her this afternoon and it felt great to play soccer again and I surprisingly didn't feel that out of shape.

Toasty Warm In The Bay

2014-05-13T22:13:00.000-07:00

I would like to congratulate Cuso on his newfound happiness with his meds and hope that one of these biddies that he's chatting up starts to work out.

Back At Work Again

2014-05-12T21:58:00.000-07:00

I would like to say that it was nice being back at work and I'm glad RaiRai seemed to adjust back to daycare pretty well except for the short naps in the morning and the fact that she fell asleep at 3PM and didn't wake up until Ash picked her up.

Home Sweet Home

2014-05-11T21:56:00.000-07:00

I would like to say that it's great being back home after an amazing trip and I hope RaiRai gets over this cold fast and more importantly I hope she gets over this jetlag fast because waking up from 3-5am is going to be pretty difficult.

From Fruhlingsfest To Home

2014-05-10T23:03:00.000-07:00

I would like to thank Genny for showing us around Munich and finding Ash some tasty Kaesespaetzle at Ratskeller for lunch on our last day in Europe and say that Lufthansa is a nice airline to fly, but getting RaiRai sick before the flight sucked and we're never doing a bassinet row again since it just results in less space and RaiRai kept trying to crawl out.

Caves, Alpine Slides, And Roller Coaster Restaurants

2014-05-09T21:49:00.000-07:00

I would like to thank Grace for taking the day off today and driving us all around to visit Pottenstein for a cave tour and alpine slides, a brewery for a delicious lunch where Ash made an 80 year old lunch, and the incredible roller coaster restaurant with everything automated.
