Little Red

A morning at Balboa Park.





Happy Hanukah


Happy Hanukah everyone! This menorah was my great-grandfather's and I have memories of lighting it every year with my grandparents. Now we're lighting it with Melanie, but I'm not sure she gets it yet. Every time we light the candles she starts singing "Happy birthday to Melanie!"

Panda Bear, Panda Bear



Panda bear, Panda bear, what do you see? I see Grandpa Larry reading to Melanie.

Full disclosure: The book looks like it is actually "Eight Silly Monkeys", but why let that inconvinient fact get in the way of a great caption? They've read Panda Bear, Panda Bear so many times (we all have!) that I think it's okay.

Roll Me and Call Me the Tumblin' Dice



Gym class at J.W. Tumbles. Grandpa Larry and Grandma Susan went with Laura, and they met up with Leslie and her daughter, Riley. Jenna came along, but wasn't tall enough for the rides.

Bon Jovi Rocks!


Laura and I with our "White Elephant" gift - a Bon Jovi bar mirror - at Aperio's holiday party.

I believe Ole, our CTO, ended up with the talking toilet paper roll we brought.

Does my sweater make me look fat?
