Olivia’s 17th Birthday
—
by
The one upside of having nowhere to ski this holiday break was spending Olivia’s birthday at home. This is perhaps the first time in her life she was able to celebrate with her friends on her actual birthday. Last year we went to Che Fico in SF with my mom and Jen. This year, we…

First Day of School – 2023
—
by
First day of school for Olivia (11th) and Lucas (9th). It’s hard to believe we have two high-schoolers! It’s also bittersweet that Liv will be driving them both to school. We had a parent social at school so we walked Lucas all the way in and Grace gave him a big kiss goodbye inside the…

She spent last week interning there for six days and had an amazing experience. One challenge of gaining this experience is that they’re located down in Paso Robles, about three hours…

We celebrated this sweet 16-year-old at home this year, which is rare as we’re usually traveling somewhere.

It was extra special to have my mom, aunt Jen and Blue here to…

View this post on Instagram Olivia’s trying something new during quarantine. She’s learning on my vintage 70s Powell Quicktail skateboard. It’s the same model I had as a kid (thanks, eBay). I’m looking for some Gullwing HPG IV trucks if anyone has a lead. #powellperalta #skateboard A post shared by Jason Rhee (@jasonrhee) on May…

Olivia’s 13th Birthday Party
—
by
We’re so happy Olivia found her people during her first semester at Nueva. She invited some of them (and her brother) to her 13th birthday party, which included our old-time favorite, bowling, pizza on the Ave., and dessert at our house. We feel fortunate for these friendships and hope they continue to flourish.
