I’ve become the unofficial family photographer for my friends up here and it’s so much fun. This morning, I took a few photos of Vivian and her parents before Sophie’s birthday party. The overcast lighting was perfect!!
At the end of the party, I got a cute shot of Sophie with her parents.
It’s been raining since last weekend and has been such a nice change. Fortunately, it seems to rain most at night while we’re sleeping and during the middle of the day while I’m indoors at work. The commute has been relatively easy and I have no complaints. On Thursday, the rain stopped for a bit and I was able to go outside for a solo run for the first time in about a month. There was a full moon that night, which made it an even more pleasant run.
On Friday evening, we thought the rain had stopped for a while but as we were out at Union Square, it started to rain again. I still got to see the tree lit up and there were lots of people still on the ice rink.
Before heading home, we went all the way up to the top floor of macy’s to get a better view of the tree and rink from The Cheesecake Factory bar area (we were standing behind the “m” on the macy’s sign. Christmastime in SF is really pretty.
What once was an innocent trip to the pet store for a couple pet fish for KK has now turned into a full-blown project. It looks like we have unearthed Jes’ long-lost hobby from college: fishkeeping. Dum dum DUUUUUM!!! On Tuesday, the bigger tank arrived from Amazon and the two adult fish were put into their new home.
Meanwhile, the baby fish were having a party in their tank. With the adults nowhere to be found, they all emerged from their hiding places and we counted up to 20 baby fish!!!

Where did they all come from?! We only counted 12 the other day. Now they’re all swimming freely around the tank and having a blast. Each day they seem to get a little bigger and they all now have black markings on their tails. This is so fun!!
The next step is to find some more plants for the big tank and it sound like Jes has big plans for it. I guess we’ll be spending more time (and money) at fish stores this coming year. It’ll be just like college all over again.
I came home this evening and all 12 baby fish were still accounted for. They’re also getting pretty brave venturing up out of the plants. In this picture alone, you can see about 9 of them. You can click on the photo to get a slightly bigger image.
