You gotta see the baby...!

After Santa Barbara I made my way back to the L.A. area for a few days to visit a friend of mine from my SF days, Lyndsey, her husband Josh, and their new baby Nola! Nola is 3 months old as such a little doll. She is super smiley and really only cries when she needs something. Thanks again to Lynds and Josh for taking me to Pinks, to Lynds for all the fun at the grove, for carting me around L.A., and all the hiking, swimming and yoga... and to Nola for being such a little sweetie, and to Maya for the goose!!

Congrats Hank!

A week ago Friday a group of family and friends made their way to Santa Barbara to help my uncle Hank celebrate his Masters degree in Organizational Development. It was a great weekend in beautiful SB, where we all shopped, ate, and celebrated Hank for his great accomplishment. Congrats again Hank!

Busy Summer!

Well, it has been a busy summer...so busy in fact that in no time it's making it's exit and fall is silently creeping in. Damn. Anyway, I've missed many opportunities to post here because so much has gone on, which is counter-productive since the whole reason I started this thing is because I thought it would be fun to look back at the end of the year and be reminded of everything I did and who visited, etc. So I'll just do a short catch up and go on from here. Try to be more disciplined about it! In a nutshell I've been to a few cubs games, had the family in town for cousin Jimmy's wedding and made a trip back to CA to spend some time with my parents. When the family was here we had a lot of fun traipsing with the kids all over Chicago. I'll post a pic of me and my nephews...aren't they cute!?
