And I'm off....

go metro

We are now in the habit of a train ride to the pizza shop on the weekend and drug friends along this time. I love that public transportation is so easy within Pasadena.
I am really trying to take advantage of that more often this year.

sleepy

 Its a bit gloomy and cold here this week. feeling sleepy today, good thing Intelligentsia is just around the corner.

Andy sent this photo of he and Nevin, remembering the sweet, sleepy (and sleepless days) of newborns.

quickie knits

I've been having fun knitting some quick & simple projects for the girls.
I tend to like instant gratification with knitting projects, so these made me happy. Plus as soon as these two hear I am making something for them, they wanted it yesterday. Hmm.... sounds just like the studio execs.

First, some handwarmers, pink and purple of course.
as this is the only palette acceptable to these little ladies currently.

(I know I need to weave that string in)

Then a very easy capelet by Karen at  Knit 1 LA

I think Ill use the leftover to add a pink stripe to the adult version I am making for myself in orange. Then we can be matchy matchy. 

Camille didnt want one of these (it doesn't fit into her uniform), so I only had to make one. 

She only wears a pink shirt and black and white stripe pants. 

Seriously, this is ALL she will wear. 

I guess she is a minimalist when it comes to fashion, just like Daddy. 

All Rosey

Happy New Year everyone!
Our favorite part of ringing in the new year, as always, the tournament of roses parade. I love living in Pasadena at this time of year, the parade generates so much excitement & energy around town.
From our new house we had an awesome view of the stealth bomber overhead, and a 5 block walk to a very clear street view. woo hoo.
I dont know why I get so giddy about these things, but year after year I still do.

After the parade we took the girls on their first train ride for pizza in old town, figuring the parking would be nuts. Happy Hour, 82 degrees....What an awesome day.

happy new year!

May the year ahead be prosperous and bright.
