A night out

Jawsh and I had a night out of eating good sushi and drinking beer without the babies! Cathy generously offered to watch them while we went to Jtown to have an adult evening. I must admit that it was nice not having to feed Noah and entertain Micah while eating, it was nice to get to eat our meal and eat at a leisurely pace, and it was especially nice getting a chance to just hang out with Jawsh and to hear about his art class. Having said that, I also must admit that I was ready to go back and see my sons sooner than later. After dinner, we went to Pinkberry and brought that home to have dessert together. I think we were gone for about an hour and a half... baby steps right???

Reading with Bubbe

Bubbe came over today and spent some time reading some of Noah's favorite books (he's currently into Everyone Poops and The Holes in Your Nose). I love how Micah is blowing on the kazoo (he really can) and trying to get in on the action. When will Noah start to read on his own???

Hi Cam!

Cam was in town visiting and got a chance to see the boys. Although Jawsh had to be quick about getting this shot (she doesn't like getting her picture taken) this came out great. Wouldn't you agree Cam???

Art class

Jawsh started taking an Advanced Illustration class in the evenings at Art Center in Pasadena with the Clayton Brothers (here is an example of their work). Turns out their father was into the arts and obviously influenced them. Will Noah and Micah be in the arts and be known as the Smith Brothers???

Micah

Here is a picture of Micah, our little yogi, in downward dog. Isn't this a great pose???

Noah

Here is a picture of Noah taken with the new camera. Better quality, can't you tell???

Jawsh's new toy

We have been waiting for the new Canon Rebel to come out and as soon as we found out we bought it. The picture quality is so much better and it also takes video. Will Noah get Jawsh's old Canon Elph camera???

Mickey waffles

One of Jawsh's favorite childhood memories was eating Mickey Mouse waffles with strawberries at Disneyland, so we had to recreate this experience for him (and the boys). Jawsh said the waffles are now smaller than what he remembered, but they still taste great. Noah loved dipping his waffle in syrup and meeting all the characters who came by our table. Micah shrieked in fear when Minnie came up. What will the boys' favorite memories be???

Come on Micah!

Micah has been up on his knees for a few weeks now, trying to keep up with Noah. He can get up on his knees, off his stomach, and lunge but we're still waiting for the official crawl. When will that happen???

Happy Mother's Day

Mother's Day was more like Mother's Weekend. Jawsh made lasagna on Saturday for his mother and then helped bbq kalbi on Sunday for my mom... truly good eating. It was a nice weekend with great weather and lots of good food and company. I love the card that Jawsh made for me... wonder what he'll make next???

Twin tiger tees

It just so happened that Uncle Zach and Micah were wearing tiger tees , so we just had to take this shot. Twin tiger tees, twin dimples, and twin hair style. Twins can't you see???

I Love LA

Jawsh painted a portrait of the biggest LA lover he knows: David Lynch. This painting was auctioned at STOKED and by the end of the night, his painting was one of the top earners. What would David Lynch think if he saw this???

Micah's first tooth

Micah's first tooth is here! He has been drooling for weeks so we knew that it was approaching soon. I can't believe how fast this is all going... before we know it he'll be one! Will all the milestones feel like this???
