Olivia’s Harry Potter Birthday Sleepover
—
by
Learning our lesson from Lucas’s ambitious birthday party (every 1st grader), Olivia had a more manageable sleepover with just a few girls from school (still so hard to choose!). Once again, our old nanny, Kate, was put in charge of logistics and decorating. She did an amazing job of transforming the house into Hogwarts. Grace…

—
by
The start of school is always exciting for us. We feel fortunate that Lucas has the same teachers Olivia had in 1st grade. Olivia continues to pave the way in 3rd grade. Wishing them both a great school year, which I’m sure will go by too fast.

December Beach Day in Half Moon Bay
—
by
Grace is on a girls weekend in Chicago / Lake Michigan. There was some serious plumbing going on at the house, so we had to get out of there. HMB is my go-to for having a day outdoors with the kids. I’d say there’s a routine, but every wave is different and makes for an…

I was playing around with the 50mm 1.4, which I never shoot. Though a low-light situation, I might have needed to stop it down a little. Still fun.

Last Day of 1st Grade for Olivia

I had the honor of picking up Olivia on her last day of 1st grade. Olivia grew so much this year in so many ways. We’re so thankful for the nurturing, supportive and fun learning environment Mrs. Zirelli and Mr. André provided to Olivia and her class. I was happy to be able to get…

Kids’ First Piano Recital
—
by
On March 15, 2014, Olivia and Lucas had their first piano recital. The piano in our house was just furniture for a year or two. The kids started lessons last year and rarely practiced. However, with their first recital approaching, something clicked, and both of them practiced often to perfect their pieces. Lucas has a…
