Yoji's First Birthday

We celebrated Yoji's first birthday Saturday. Our special guest was Yoji's grandmother, who was visiting from Japan.

New Garage Doors

Our new garage doors were installed this weekend. This was the last major item we needed to replace as part of the renovation to our house, or as one of our neighbors said today "the finishing touch." We spent all day Sunday sanding and staining them with Penofin Brazilian rosewood oil. Now the garage doors match the rest of the house's solid fir doors and windows!

My towel please!

Kathryn and Acton enjoyed our new spa today. It's part of the all-inclusive vacation package they're being treated to which includes daily delivery of the NY Times, fresh croissants from our French bakery, stone-cut Irish Oatmeal, unlimited use of Ned's BMW, etc. Life is good in California!
