Cruising With The Windows Open And Heat On High

I would like to say that I'm glad Ash is finally feeling better but we need to figure out this problem with her engine overheating when idling before we do any damage to the engine.

Sunday, June 1, 2014

Finally Creating Space In The Living Room

Carter's A Big Boy

I would like to say that I can't believe I ordered all this Munchery food and Ash is too sick to eat any of it but playing soccer tonight was pretty fun even though we ended up tying.

Thursday, May 29, 2014

Hitting Mom Harder Than RaiRai

I would like to say that I hate skipping soccer, but it's probably best to let my back heal one more night and I can't believe that both RaiRai and Ash are stuck at home again tomorrow with GI issues.

iPad Air For Mom

I would like to say that I hope my Mom takes the time to learn how to use the new iPad we gave her since she has been asking for one for quite a while.

RaiRai Explodes

Sunday, May 25, 2014

Enjoying The Weather

I would like to say that despite all of Ali's freaking out, I think we enjoyed our time at the Tahoe Donner Beach and RaiRai liked playing in the sand and water and it was nice to enjoy some wine and pasta for dinner after the kiddos went to bed.

Saturday, May 24, 2014

Playing With Loup And Elaine

I would like to thank Neeraj and Aparna for enjoying one more breakfast with us before they headed up to Napa and say that I'm glad our drive to Tahoe went alright despite my mini migraine that at least disappeared after an hour and a half nap.

Friday, May 23, 2014

Crashing Early

I would like to say that I'm glad we decided not to drive to Tahoe tonight since Ash and I are both exhausted but I'm bummed that we didn't make it long enough to hang out with Neeraj and Aparna tonight.

Thursday, May 22, 2014

Waiting For Shrimp Soup

I would like to say that tonight was hectic trying to prepare our apartment for Neeraj and Aparna's arrival but I think it was nice to see them and enjoyed some tasty Mexican food.

Whip Myself Into Shape

Tuesday, May 20, 2014

The RFAI Begins

I would like to say that these questions from the FDA are much more difficult than the last time but I still think they can be answered.

Monday, May 19, 2014

It Hurts More Mentally

Last Day Of Me Dropping RaiRai Off

I would like to say that my second game this week went well although I am still sore and that although Ash didn't love it, I thought our Munchery meal was pretty decent, although not exactly healthy.

Thursday, May 15, 2014

The Exhaustion Is Setting In

I would like to say that although I felt great playing last night, the soreness has set in and I am clearly not in shape yet but I'm glad RaiRai finally took a good nap early at daycare today as she's transitioning into our timezone.

Wednesday, May 14, 2014

Waking RaiRai Up To Get Her Back On Schedule

I would like to say that I don't believe that RaiRai is really sick and that she's getting over her cold and the fact that she threw up was just a result of all the mucus she has in her chest but it was nice to get to hang out with her this afternoon and it felt great to play soccer again and I surprisingly didn't feel that out of shape.

Tuesday, May 13, 2014

Toasty Warm In The Bay

I would like to congratulate Cuso on his newfound happiness with his meds and hope that one of these biddies that he's chatting up starts to work out.

Monday, May 12, 2014

Back At Work Again

I would like to say that it was nice being back at work and I'm glad RaiRai seemed to adjust back to daycare pretty well except for the short naps in the morning and the fact that she fell asleep at 3PM and didn't wake up until Ash picked her up.

Sunday, May 11, 2014

Home Sweet Home

I would like to say that it's great being back home after an amazing trip and I hope RaiRai gets over this cold fast and more importantly I hope she gets over this jetlag fast because waking up from 3-5am is going to be pretty difficult.

Saturday, May 10, 2014

From Fruhlingsfest To Home

I would like to thank Genny for showing us around Munich and finding Ash some tasty Kaesespaetzle at Ratskeller for lunch on our last day in Europe and say that Lufthansa is a nice airline to fly, but getting RaiRai sick before the flight sucked and we're never doing a bassinet row again since it just results in less space and RaiRai kept trying to crawl out.

Friday, May 9, 2014

Caves, Alpine Slides, And Roller Coaster Restaurants

Monday, May 5, 2014

Finally Hit The ATM

I would like to say that our drive from Zurich to Abtenau, Austria took a lot longer than expected, but went smoothly with one awkward stop at a bakery where we couldn't pay since we didn't have any Euros but our traditional Austrian dinner with Prof. Boerner and his wife was extremely delicious and overly filling.

Sunday, May 4, 2014

Most Epic Day

I would like to say that today was extremely epic starting with new tires, checking out the village of Gruyere, then meeting Cyntia for a tour of the Cailler chocolate factory, then Tim, Sara, and Matt in Bulle to start our epic hike to Chalet du Soldat that pushed us to our limits finally ending with Ash and RaiRai and Sara getting a ride on the snowmobile quad to the Chalet for a delicious fondue meal and first meeting of the Swiss Scotch Club.

Friday, May 2, 2014

Picturesque Geneva Lake

I would like to thank Julien for showing us around Geneva Lake today with a lovely tour of Chateau de Chillon, a beautiful hike through the hills of wine country and along the lake, and a delicious fish dinner at his parent's house after I ruined their gate.

Thursday, May 1, 2014

Playing At Heathrow

I would like to say that I'm impressed RaiRai slept for about 7 hours of the 10 hour flight and that I can't believe Ash didn't sleep at all until the flight to Geneva but it let me get to drink her bottle of wine.

Wednesday, April 30, 2014

Escaping The Heat

I would like to say that I can't believe how hot it is in the bay area today and we're super excited to be flying to Switzerland for our trip in Europe.

Saturday, April 26, 2014

Out And About

I would like to thank Lynda for inviting us to the SJ Children's Faire since RaiRai seemed to have fun but I couldn't believe that she didn't really recognize Lynda outside of her house.

Friday, April 25, 2014

Last Game For A Few Weeks

I would like to say that we should have won the game tonight instead of tied it but nobody was able to finish shots from point blank range.

Thursday, April 24, 2014

Crappy Injuries

Beautiful Weather

I would like to thank Shilpi, Panzer, Hicks, Jacob, Jenny, Ryan, Jeremy, Anita, JR, and Jamie, for meeting us at Calafia for brunch this morning and say that it was another lovely day but we spent most of the afternoon cleaning and cooking, but at least Ash and RaiRai went for a run.

Friday, April 11, 2014

Crawling Properly And Pulling Herself Up To Stand

I would like to thank Ash for watching RaiRai on the sidelines most of the game while I got to play tonight and wish that I had scored my second goal after just slipping it through his legs on a breakaway but having him scramble around quick to bat it out of the way so that we would have won instead of tied.

Thursday, April 10, 2014

Wednesday, April 2, 2014

Quick Trips

I would like to say that I can't believe I'm going to Baltimore for a single dinner meeting and that I hate booking flights, especially flights to Chicago in the summer because they are way too expensive for no reason.

Tuesday, April 1, 2014

Hulu Plus Sucks

I would like to say that TurboTax giving a bonus for taking your refund as an Amazon gift card is a great/bad idea.

Monday, March 31, 2014

Pouring All Afternoon

I would like to say that I can't believe RaiRai only took one nap today but she basically went to bed at 6PM tonight with a wake up around 7:30 for a change and feeding.

Sunday, March 30, 2014

Switching To Two Naps?

I would like to say that moving RaiRai into her own room has been crucial to us getting more sleep since we sleep through the beginning of her waking up in the middle of the night and by the time I get out of bed, she seems to be already self soothing and almost back asleep.

Saturday, March 29, 2014

RaiRai's Buddies

I would like to say that despite all the rain, we had some fun playing upstairs with Mila and seeing new baby Laura at Jan and Anna's.

Nothing To Do For Date Night Tomorrow

Wednesday, March 26, 2014

Watching Her Parents Play

I would like to say that I probably shouldn't have gone to the first soccer game tonight since I didn't get to play and all it seems to have done is made RaiRai stay up way later than she should have, but at least the second game felt good even though we lost.

Tuesday, March 25, 2014

Clearly Uncomfortable

I would like to say that I'm glad the prunes that RaiRai ate this morning finally worked and she had a massive explosion today because she was really starting to suffer at night.

Monday, March 24, 2014

Her New Bedtime Seems To Be 8 Based On The Fact She Went To Bed At 6 The Last 2 Nights

I would like to thank Jim Davis for clearing my evaporation system code and say that I'm glad RaiRai liked eating some prunes, but we really need to get her to poop or we're going to have another painful night of terrible sleep.

Friday, March 21, 2014

Check Engine Light?

I would like to say that bowling and then being able to leave work early today was an awesome surprise since I got to get a quick workout in at the gym and play with RaiRai and I'd like to thank Hanna and Seth for hosting a lovely dinner and movie night where we never made it to the movie.

Thursday, March 20, 2014

Wednesday, March 19, 2014

A Goal For The Win

I would like to say that I don't understand why Ash's burgers stuck to the grill so bad, but they turned out tasty anyway and although I hadn't played soccer in two weeks, running a couple times in NOLA really helped as I didn't feel tremendously out of shape tonight.

Tuesday, March 18, 2014

Cooking Up A Storm

I would like to say that it's great to be back home with my girls and it was great to meet new baby Laura this evening even though she was sleeping when we dropped food off for Jan, Anna, and Mila.

Monday, March 17, 2014

The Mullets Live On

I would like to say that I am glad to be back home after a long week, but it was worth it to stay for much of ORS because I got to complete my mullet tour and hang out with Seungbum for a bit.

Sunday, March 16, 2014

Leukerbad, Moleson, And Glacier 3000

I would like to say that although my "barbeque shrimp" was a messy disaster at dinner today when I had to peel off the shells, it was good to hang out some more with Julien and discuss our collaborations and our upcoming trip to Switzerland.

Piano Bar Again After Grandma's Disappointment

I would like to say that it was nice having dinner with Sean and Julien, visiting Grandma's bar again, even though she's retired to start growing weed, and although Sean left early for his crazy drive to Tallahassee, Big Guy and I stayed out nice and late.

Thursday, March 13, 2014

Low Key Day, Hoping Ash Doesn't Get Sick

I would like to say that today was surprisingly busy reviewing patents before leaving for NOLA tomorrow, but it was really empty at the office.

Sunday, March 9, 2014

Car Seat Woes

I would like to say that our morning, though hectic, was good considering we got a nice brunch at Point in Thyme, made our flight on Thyme, and finally made it back home, although without our car seat until I went back to the airport to pick it up tonight.

Saturday, March 8, 2014

Baby At The Bar And Staying Up Too Late

I would like to congratulate Shilpi and Panzer on an incredible wedding and thank Shilpi's mom for organizing a babysitter to allow us to enjoy the wedding although RaiRai hated her and Parker loved her.

Saturday, March 1, 2014

Happy Birthday Bub!

I would like to wish Ash a happy birthday from me and RaiRai and say that I hope she liked all of the mini surprises throughout the day including the homemade brunch and dinner and say that I can't believe I had to work while she went to Adhya's 1st birthday party.

Friday, February 28, 2014
