It has been raining here all week. Real rain. If its not pouring its drizzling. We can’t go to the playground so Asher’s depressed. We’re all depressed. The only thing that makes me smile is seeing him in his yellow Aigle rain boots and the fact that after going to 8 stores I finally found a rain jacket that matches them! Its the little things.

This pic is from our trip to San Francisco last month. We had a really great time and fantasized about living there more than once. I should just do a post on what we ate because it was all phenomenal. I should also do a post on how we dealt with vacationing with a toddler because it was not phenomenal. For now all I can handle is this poppy seed lemon loaf from the amazing Tartine. Its amazing amazing amazing. Matthew got the bread pudding which was strawberry and he said he could eat it every day. So its probably best we don’t live there after all.

Yesterday we went to a BBQ with some of Asher’s buddies. These 2 lovely ladies are Lucy and Eva. Their moms are in my infamous moms group so the 3 of them have been friends since before they were born. Lucy and Asher even have the same bday (Eva’s is a few days later.)
I love watching them turn from newborns to toddlers together.

Busy week. Asher and I were both sick with colds and Matthew worked a bunch of 14hr days. Today was the first day we were all home together and relatively well but we’re in for another crazy week this week. Just glad that everyone is feeling better!
April 6: We’ve had these felt letters for ages and it only took my friend Adam 5 minutes to show Asher that he could put them on his face. Well done Adam.
April 7: Backhoe
April 8: Asher is obsessed with matchbox cars. He likes to take them for a cruise around the neighborhood every chance he gets.
April 9: Saturday was the little league parade through the neighborhood for opening day and these dudes were Too. Cool. For. School. or at least, too cool to walk in a parade with a a bunch of 5 year olds. The parade was in the street on the other side of the cars. We stopped and watched for a while and it was pretty adorable.

Today’s photo comes courtesy of Asher’s nanny Jackie. Even though I’m on my hi-YAY!-tus she still comes 2-3x a week for a few hours. It sounded really luxurious when I planned it but every day goes by incredible fast and I haven’t spent much time without anything to do. I mean, I still have a toddler and a husband who works 18hr days all the time. I’ve had the organizer come, hit the dentist and worked on our taxes. I’ve been working out with a trainer, entertained houseguests on 2 separate weekends and actually got a pedicure for the first time this year. It feels good to be so productive. Ignoring your life for 6 months takes it toll, and I’m paying for it now. Hope to make a dent before I start up again in May, maybe even come out ahead.
