DSC_3936Baby Alice is one month old today!  Coincidentally, we planned to have dim sum at Yank Sing this morning, which is where we celebrated Kumquat’s one month!  IMG_8955Alice slept through out meal but woke up at the end for her to placed in the baby carrier for the first time.     IMG_8957

Happy One Month, Alice!!  And congratulations to Brother and Joy for surviving your first month.  You’re both doing a wonderful job!!!  It gets better from here on out.

It’s still weird to think that Brother and I each have one kid.  I can still remember Brother at their ages.  I guess we all have to grow up eventually.

Black Friday

IMG_7371 1On Friday morning, Brother and I got up really early to go for another run.  IMG_7373 1It was nice to be out before the sun came up.  We finished three miles in time to then hop into the car and head over to Tartine.

IMG_7374 1 This is our version of standing in line for Black Friday.

IMG_7378 1We got there about 15 minutes before the doors opened and left with a butter crossaint, pan du chocolat, coconut macaroons, 2 morning buns, two slices of ham and cheese quiche, and a chocolate hazelnut tart.

IMG_7385 1Later that morning, we all packed up for a walk along Embarcadero to Hog Island Oyster Co.  There was a bit of a wait but it was just enough for us to to enjoy a glass of wine and to build up an appetite.  IMG_7398They gave us a big table for all 8 of us and we feasted on oysters and clam chowder. IMG_7402IMG_7403 1

What a tasty meal!!  Once that was all done, we took a walk to Union Square to do a little shopping.

IMG_8545Brother went back to Uniqlo to exchange something while Jes and I went to the Apple Store to get me a brand new Macbook Pro, which came with a $150 Apple Store gift card!!  Woot!  Merry Christmas to me!
