May 27, 2011

It has been a while since we posted some pictures, so I thought I'd add a few I had taken with my cell phone. We took Ana to the Sicilian festival in Little Italy to see Giada DiLaurentiis, but it was a mad house so we didn't stick around too long. It was a good time, though, and we all shared a tiramisu. One day when Sara was home with Ana they picked me up from lab and we had some lunch at a local burger and dog place. We gave Ana a pen and the receipt and she was happy to color all over the paper and her hands. On Mother's day we took Sara to lunch at a Thai place near UCSD and had some sort of frutti di mare dish with basil. Sara ate a bit of it but mostly stuck to her Panang curry. We were both surprised that Ana liked it as well. Sara and I saw Carmen at the opera. It was a really nice production and the soprano that sang the title role was perfect. It was crazy long though, at almost four hours, and by the end I just wanted her to get murdered (it's in the plot) so we could go home. We paid for the tickets at full patron price now that I'm not a student, so we sat way at the top of the balcony among all manner of riff raff. Alright I'm making with the pics already. Enjoy.

Happy Easter 2011

Ana has taken part of three egg hunts.  We did a practice egg hunt last weekend at the park near our house and then this weekend we went to another large egg hunt.  This one she got more eggs.  Then Easter morning we dyed eggs and then later did another egg hunt on our front lawn.  We had a great Easter ham dinner with our friends Jason and Taryn.

Take a look at our Tumblr to watch the videos.  http://tfgallegos.tumblr.com

Last couple of weeks

We’ve been busy around here the last couple of weeks. I went to Washington, D.C. for a week to lead students on Alternative Spring Break to work with Habitat for Humanity. I installed base boards in a refurbished duplex, got to use all the fun power tools. It was a great trip, got to meet up with my cousin Kyle who set us up with a Capital Building tour. During that week, Tom was busy with Ana, he hung in there alright. After that the following weekend my mom came out to stay with Ana while Tom and I had a weekend away up in San Francisco. It was a great time. Here are some pics from all the stuff that’s been happening.

Ana's new entertainment is a big purple ball that she throws back and forth, anything to keep her happy

Morning at the aquarium

We went to the Birch Aquarium in La Jolla to let Ana check it all out.  She had a great time and really liked all the fish.

We haven’t posted in a while but here a couple of things…Ana helped me make a cake as you can see she enjoyed it and the video is from the Valentine’s card Nanny gave Ana.  The Chipmunks music card was Ana’s favorite that it died the next day from too much playing.
