February 19

Asher's got a nasty cold, and was feeling especially snugly tonight. We never want him to be sick, but we definitely enjoy the extra cuddles when he is.

February 18

Gerry and I walked over to the Westin where I'm scheduled to stay during GC. It's the tallest hotel in the U.S. (they said), and from the 59th floor, I could feel it swaying. Not sure I'm too keen on that. There was a lovely view of the Dome and GWCC from up there, though... They're replacing all the windows, many of which were knocked out in a tornado last year. It's a 15-month project, and they won't be done by the time we get there this summer, but having the scaffold out the window adds a little intrigue.


February 17

Today we toured the George Dome and Georgia World Congress Center, where we'll have the 2010 world session -- commonly known as General Conference (or G.C.) -- of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. They were preparing for some motocross-type event, which explained the dirt floors.

February 16

I flew to Atlanta for meetings, and had lots of adventures. Navigating MARTA wasn't too complicated, but the cold was more piercing that I expected.

This last one is the view from my hotel room at the Omni.

February 15

I was working all day, and Ken took Asher to the park. Good daddy. :o)

February 14

Asher went to play with Lucy tonight while Ken and I had a date night.

 
 

February 13

Spent a little time at the park today; it was beautiful outside!



February 12

Headed up the Golden Gate bridge.

February 11

Went to San Francisco for the 2010 Macworld Expo. My flight left so early that I got to SF at sunrise.

 

 

 

Had dinner with a couple of my homegirls in Pleasanton. Julie made chocolate strawberries and got Nothing Bundt Cakes bundtlets. YUM. Cara and I were in heaven.

February 10

Mmmm, cereal...

Asher, yakkin' up a storm.

February 5

Ken has a little hand-held texter he got as a product tester. It's useless for that purpose, but Asher has adopted it as his own little laptop "computer," because it looks like a mini-notebook.

February 4

I love tongs!

 
  
 

Oatmeal in the crockpot ... recipe FAIL. Ew!


Office shower for Danette...

 
 

Oh-so-serious self-portrait...

Eating Grandma's "diet food."

Everyday excitement...

Asher loves his alligator; good fun.

 

 

And Ken steams a handpiece part during a repair...

January 31

I hosted a baby shower for Danette at our house today. I had lots of great helpers (thanks Ken, Mom and everyone who contributed!), and we had a lovely time.

 

  

  

  

I already posted a pic of the diaper cake, but this one is bigger and brighter, so I can remember details. 

January 30

I made a diaper cake for Danette's baby shower. I thought it turned out pretty well, considering I hadn't done one before and I'm not a real experienced crafter...

January 28

Breakfast with Dora and Diego...

January 27

I decided to make a carrot cake today, completely from scratch, including the cream cheese frosting. It was YUM.

I love to mow!

January 25

Lucy came over to play today. We wore ourselves out!
