Sunday Morning on Burlingame Ave.

We had some time to kill after breakfast on Sunday - ran into Sharon, Joe and Samantha. Lucas enjoyed some window shopping. Olivia and I went to the park later that day - it had been a long while since we'd been there.

Surf and Turf at Craftsteak (in Vegas - shhh)

Yesterday I was lamenting missing Jin's bachelor party and Grace said "why don't you go for a night?" She didn't have to ask me twice. I parachuted in today. How much trouble could I get into in 22 hours?
Thanks, Grace, for the pass!

Lisa and Brian hosted a dinner party to celebrate with the team from 3+ years ago. Time flies when you're having fun. Thanks as always for hosting a wonderful event. Brian's crabcakes prime rib was outstanding (nice job on the gravy, Arthur).

Olivia's First Day at Pre-School
By jason · January 5, 2010 · 0 Comments · 915 Views
Today was Olivia's first day of pre-school, which is just a few blocks from our house. We all went to go drop her off for her first day. She went around and tried many new things there. Her friend, Kate, is in her class on some days, which will be nice for her.
Although it was hard for all of us to say good-bye, Olivia did great and jumped back into the mix. I think she's going to love going to school.

Ethan's 3rd Birthday Party
By jason · January 5, 2010 · 0 Comments · 510 Views
Birthday season for Olivia's playgroup officially has begun. Ethan celebrated at Pump It Up in San Carlos on Sunday, January 3rd. I thought I was working hard going up and down the slide about 30 times, except that Kim Tramel was going up and down, too, and she's carrying twins! I once found all 5 Tramels at the top of the slide!
Happy Birthday, Ethan!

DTW to SFO on New Year's Day
By jason · January 5, 2010 · 0 Comments · 617 Views
January 1st was a travel day for us, as we returned home from a great vacation in Michigan. Olivia made use of two of her favorite presents from Christmas and her birthday: her first suitcase and backpack. Lucky for us, she liked carrying/pulling them herself. Both Lucas and Olivia were able to get in a little more rest than on the trip out, so the cross-country trip didn't seem too bad.
It's always nice to be home.

New Year's Eve in Ann Arbor
We took advantage of our team of baby sitters and went out with the Michigan crew in Ann Arbor. We all met up at Marty's loft above Grizzly Peak. His place looks great and it looks like he's settled in nicely to Ann Arbor. We're still sad that he (and everyone else) has left SF. The crew consisted of:
- Marty
- Jim
- Andi & Greg
- Fran & Jon
- Maya & Cory
- Lisa & Mark
- Char & Ryan
I don't know what Char and Lisa were discussing in this picture, but I'm not sure who would have stepped in if it escalated. My guess is Fran, because Andi and Greg are expecting a boy in May (so exciting). We all enjoyed an amazing dinner at one of Jon and Greg's new restaurants, Jolly Pumpkin Cafe & Brewery on Main St. My filet was perfect and the truffle fries were so good, we had to order seconds. Afterwards, we went over to another of their new establishments, Cafe Habana on Washington. It was an amazing way to ring in the New Year with old friends and new. We would have stayed out later, except that Olivia stayed on West Coast time and we received a text at 12:05 am that she was up and waiting for us. In reality, she is on Hawaii time, which needs to be adjusted in 2010.
(BTW, if it looks like the photos at Marty's place looks like there was a bunch of schmutz on the lens, it's because there was - sorry about that).
Happy New Year!

Olivia Likes Shoveling Snow

I'll have to figure out how to capitalize on this inclination. We're not afraid of winter...

The Birthday That Keeps On Giving - Opening Presents
By jason · January 1, 2010 · 0 Comments · 1,043 Views
Despite pleading for no gifts, everyone pretty much ignored us and got Olivia something lovely for her birthday. She was so excited by her wonderful presents, I think she forgot that Christmas had just passed. Thanks to everyone for their thoughtfulness.

Dinner with Parks and Hurs in Ann Arbor
By jason · January 1, 2010 · 0 Comments · 439 Views
After Olivia's bowling party, we went home for a short rest before heading out to Ann Arbor to meet up with Grace's family for dinner. This was effectively party #2 for Olivia because she had ice cream cake and other desserts. I think she's getting into the birthday thing now.

Olivia's 3rd Birthday Party
By jason · December 30, 2009 · 0 Comments · 1,573 Views
After breaking the seal on Wii bowling and attending the Sugar holiday party, Olivia has been into bowling lately. Therefore, we decided to have an impromptu bowling party for Olivia today for her birthday. Frances brought Jake, Lily and Jude. Christine and Joon brought Marisa and Sarah, who loved attending to Olivia and Lucas. Paul brought Micah (Janet was home with Kiri, who was sick - we're sad we didn't get to meet her this trip). Il brought Rylee and Harrison. Christine brought Annalou's son, Aiden. Fritz brought himself.
The birthday girl had the most fun, so we were pleased. Her dad managed a turkey (sup) and had a super-fun time, too.
Happy Birthday, Olivia!

Grace's parents came to Michigan from LA on Tuesday so mom had them and Grace's Ann Arbor Hur aunts and uncles over for dinner. Olivia had three helpings - all of them dessert. Lucas was his cheerful self - guess we know who he might be taking after...
Happy Birthday, Dad!

Dinner at Melanie and Nick's House
By jason · December 29, 2009 · 0 Comments · 370 Views
Melanie and Nick graciously invited us over for dinner last night. Eve was also gracious in sharing all of her amazing toys (really the best assortment ever). I'm sorry I broke Eve's E string - twice.
Our primary objective was to meet their little guy, Sebastian. Sorry it took us 7 months to see his cute face in person.
Dinner, dessert and company were all awesome. Thanks for having us!

Dad's Birthday Lunch
By jason · December 29, 2009 · 0 Comments · 276 Views
On Monday, December 28th, we celebrated my dad's birthday at lunch at J. Alexander. Post-quadruple-bypass, all he wants on his b-day is a bacon cheeseburger. All the food was great and dad seemed to enjoy his gifts, which at this age are generally subtle hints by us to improve his wardrobe.
Mom's hosting a dinner party with Grace's family today.

Olivia & Esul at the West Bloomfield Library
By jason · December 29, 2009 · 0 Comments · 466 Views
We tried to get all of the Nam families and Paul's family together over the holidays, but sadly failed. Growing up, they were all our family during the holidays and all the kids (except David) were in Michigan. On Sunday, December 27th, Olivia and I met Grace, Jim and their daughter, Esul, at the West Bloomfield Public Library. The library I remember was "new" as I remembered it from 15 years ago, but the new new library that stands in its place is pretty amazing.
Coincidentally, I ran into Jen Haber Fishkind, which was nice as we've reconnected on FB.
Initially, Olivia did request some books to be read to her, but Esul discovered a kitchen. There's nothing Olivia loves more than keeping busy in the kitchen, real or play. They occupied themselves in there for almost 2 hours while Grace, Jim and I were able to catch up.
Olivia and I stopped for a treat before heading home. I still love home.
