40 Wow
Over the weekend we celebrated Lynn & Larry's 40th wedding anniversary with a beautiful mass at St Anne's followed by a hugemungous brunch and a day of chillin at the Lee pad. As great as the food was, the company was better. And that's saying a lot considering the buffet had a silky pate and cheese spread.
I am sure that Dave's blog has more pics>>>>>>>>>>>>

Cherry Blossom
Huelan can PUT AWAY some spam masubis. She ate almost this entire one, plus almost another one at dinner.
She really got a liked the parade, espcially her awesome view from atop Uncle Anh.
The parade ends with these guys. I don't know why- tradition I guess? Felt like I should be covering Huelan's eyes....
Hot Hot Heat
It was a hot, beautiful, hot, sunny, hot day in Oakland, the first real sunny day of the year and the first in the new house.
Luckily, it was a Saturday and we had no manual labor to do.
Instead, we had Vivien, Stella, Roxanna, Sydney & Genevieve over, plus a cameo from Lynn & Larry. I don't think that we'd ever had all three of the baby girls in the same place before, which is ridiculous.
Probably goes without saying that the most fun parts of the day were hanging with Stella & Sydney, who are both just about to turn one. It hasn't been that long since Huelan was one, but those 16 months make a gigantic difference. The little girls were just starting to get their walking legs, but could scoot and crawl efficiently. Beyond cute. (I'll get some pics of them up as soon as I the computer fixed.)

The Terrible Twos: Where Clichés Meet, High-Five, and Go Off on a Bender Together
This online magazine called Jezebel is made for women but, like US Weekly, I not-so-secretly read it. All the time. One of my favorite columns is Mother Lode- check it out here:
P.S. I listen to sports radio and Adam Carolla all day in the car, so that makes it okay.

Cheers!
Fun day at Crane Way! The big occassion was Larry's 70th birthday bash (the last of about eight different parties). We also took the opportunity to celebrate Ashley & my birthdays too, and threw in a St Patricks bash in case there wasn't enough reason to imbibe & stuff our faces.
This was the first BIG family gathering at the house, and we did okay. Still have to get the hang of the oven (hope you like crispy potatoes), but we were able to get 14 people seated comfortably. If we ever get living room furniture we'll be in good shape.
It was the first time most of Liz's family saw the house, and they did not come empty handed- food, cakes, party favors, and custom labelled vino! Come over and help us open some before it's all gone!
