Grace & Jason

Sunday in Burlingame

Grace was "hosting" playgroup at Washington Park for the BMC crew, which turned out to be more of a play-date with the Moons - twice in one weekend (happy 9th anniversary on Saturday, btw). We had bagels and refreshments at the park. There was also an "Art in the Park" going on, but we didn't check it out. We ended up on "the Ave." Lucas got us kicked out of the Apple Store with his shenanigans. Olivia enjoyed a frozen yogurt treat at tuttimelon before heading home.

Franklin Carnival with BMC Crew

On Saturday, May 15th, we went over to Kim and Jim's house for BMC playgroup. Their new home is beautiful, with plenty of space for Joss and the twins and a killer back yard. Afterwards, we all went over to Franklin Elementary for their annual Carnival, where we met up with many others in the BMC playgroup. We went last year and everyone remembers it being scorching hot. This year, the weather was perfect. Olivia warmed up to the idea of going on the rides and after two consecutive spinny rides, I was done. We had some lunch and then left because Lucas kept trying to chase after the choo choo (only one ride for him). We're going to have to take him to LegoLand soon.

Playgroup at Kate and Matt's

Kate and Matt hosted the BMC playgroup at the park across from their house. It was the first time I met the new baby, Jack. He's a cutie. It was a beautiful day out and the kids all had fun.

Jason's 40th Birthday Party

Grace planned a pseudo-surprise 40th birthday party for me on Saturday, April 3rd. She knew that I wouldn't want her to make a big deal about it, so I was in the dark pretty much up until the event.

We had an early dinner with the family at Il Fornaio. Lucas likes to eat and run (mostly run), so I chased him around for most of dinner. Mom and Dad Park had to catch a flight back to LA and left right after dinner. Addy, Charles and the kids also headed back to the East Bay after spending the day with us.

I didn't know anything about the party until someone alluded to it my Facebook page on my birthday. Eventually, Grace mentioned that something was happening, but I had no idea who was coming. I was really happy and honored that so many friends turned out that evening. There were friends from childhood, college, work, parenthood, the neighborhood, and McK-hood.

The kids lasted for a bit and then my parents walked them home. It was great catching up with everyone, some of whom I hadn't seen in quite a long time. Grace got me an awesome cake and the service was friendly as always.

40 years has gone by quickly. Though in some ways, I'm just getting started. In any case, I always feel blessed by a loving and generous family as well as loyal friends who are near and dear, old and far. Most importantly, I'm the luckiest guy in the world to have such an amazing and thoughtful wife and two incredible kids who inspire me every day.

Thanks to everyone for coming and thinking of me and especially to Grace for bringing us all together.

Burlingame Halloween Parade

jason — Sat, 24 Oct 2009 23:42:33 -0700

On Saturday, October 17th, I took Olivia downtown to the Halloween Parade, which appears to be a pretty big deal because it seemed like every kid in town was down there. We ran into Joselyn and Ethan, who were both very cute in their costumes. Olivia wasn't quite feeling her butterfly costume. We'll see if she warms up to it before actual Halloween.
