LA

I spent a long weekend in LA helping A move back to the Bay Area. Very exciting.... After she moved away to go to college we have only gotten a few million hours of phone time, a couple weekends together every year and an epic Europe tour a couple years ago. Now she is back living here so loads of fun ahead. And loads of crazy papers. Last year she and I created the most perfect admissions essay for SCU. Since I had a paper due yesterday we spent part of the weekend editing what I am sure was a masterpiece. As T said when we mentioned we were editing my paper... he would need galoshes. Two English majors together can come up with some umm good writing. Especially at 2 in the morning and this time no wine was involved.

LA was nice and a bit warmer... We packed and organized, but still found time to go shopping in Old Town Pasadena, go to the spa for facials, pedicures and massages, multiple lattes and some really fun dinners. We checked out a really cool and trendy Mexican restaurant on Sat and had yummy Afghani food on Mon. Driving home was of course fun with loads of laughter and chatting. Lucky for me she also knows where all the clean bathrooms are between here and LA after ten years of driving the 5 so even a pregnant girl could make the journey.

K had a great weekend with Gma C and Daddy.

T and I had a date on Fri night and finally tried The Counter. Funnily enough we finished our date at Target and Whole Foods. Ok not quite a first date experience, but still fun.

S turned 4 this weekend so K spent the weekend with her playing at her house and our house. Back and forth the two went, which is fast becoming the theme of every free weekend moment. K had her first ice cream cake as that was S's bday request and was thrilled. Especially thrilled as they bought two cakes and left one with us.
