Susan G. Komen

The three of us ran/walked the Susan G. Komen 5K this weekend. We absolutely loved doing the 4th of July 5K in our neighborhood and vowed to continue doing them. It is great exercise, a lot of fun, and for a great cause. And it is the only time, Josh and I get to work out together. The race was packed and running up Avocado in fashion island was nearly impossible. But there was some really fun music and some very inspirational people out there. Every person I looked at wearing a pink survivor shirt brought so much emotion to me; it was a bit overwhelming.


Check out Zach rocking out.

To all our Family and Friends,
May this next year be a happy and healthy one for all of you! An economic turnaround and lower unemployment wouldn't be so bad either, would it?

We love you.



By the way, this was just before Zach sat through almost an entire service at synagogue and prior to discovering he had a 102 temp. He still looks so cute though doesn't he? A trooper indeed!

Too Busy to Blog!

I am not kidding. I spent another week home with Zach and we explored all Irvine had to offer, a new museum, an extra MyGym, frozen yogurt, and a fun MOM's Club pool party. The museum called Pretend City was pretty awesome. It really is a pretend city where kids can go fishing, ride in cars, go grocery shopping and go to the beach. See for yourself!







We started morning pre-school at the JCC. We are all adjusting pretty well to our new activities, new friends and new schedules! We even caught our first cold already! Of course!






We went to the last summer concert on the lake - which was quite bittersweet. Where did the summer go? This time we had a little Sammy Davis Jr, Frank Sinatra and James Dean.





We also got our backyard fixed up finally. This is so nice that I can play in the back with Zach now and I don't have to worry about cars or him running away. It is also great for eating a nice summer dinner outside. It was just a bunch of concrete, leaves and weeds. Here are some before and afters ...





Last but certainly not least is somehow football season has crept up on is. We enjoyed a big win with friends Week 1; and hoping for quick QB recovery!

Pre-School

Next week, Zachy will be starting big boy school - PRE-SCHOOL. We are very proud of him and excited for this milestone. Last week, Zachy had a "graduation ceremony" from the infant/toddler room. Here he is putting his things in the highest cubby, thus being one of the tallest kids in his class.








Another Woodbridge concert... this time featuring Rod Stewart and Journey - it was awesome!







Also, I have to mention that Randi has had some rockin meals lately - maybe she can stay out of work forever:

Organic wheat pasta,zuchini,squash, and roasted tomatoes



Citrus Chicken Kabobs with Balsamic Glazed Vegetables
