Welcome Baby Spindler #2!

Dev and I hosted a small party at our house this weekend for Mina, James, Rosemary, and their new family-member-to-be. We were able to sit outside despite the still-warm weather and enjoy mini sausage pies, roasted vegetable and ricotta pizzas, and other autumnal fare. And grandparents Dan and Mary Spindler were visiting in Los Angeles and so they were able to come, too. Now we're even more excited about Baby Spindler, we can't wait until next month...

Goodbye Joanne!

Yesterday ended a great week with Joanne visiting us in L.A. As usual, we packed a lot into her stay, including the Long Beach Aquarium, the Getty Villa, LACMA, the tar pits, thrift store shopping, and veggie Chinese in the San Gabriel Valley.

Can't get enough of looking at our baby?

Now you can keep tabs on the unsuspecting infant around the clock with our new cribcam!

DIY is not always the best solution

On the plus side, Dev learned that shaving a dog is a lot harder and more time-consuming than it looks and now he understands why we should pay to have a professional do it.

On the negative side, our dog now looks like this.
