It looks like a tomato or a mini-pumpkin but actually this sweet, crunchy fruit is well loved by Asians and Persians, especially my family. It’s fall and my parents’ Persimmon tree is full of Persimmons. One year, they had close to 500 of these orange beauties on ONE tree! Then we had a late frost [...]

I am one of those people who are really bad at sending stuff in the mail. For some reason it’s just super difficult for me to get to the post office…even when the lines aren’t incredibly long like the other day when I had to stand in line listening to the complainer guy. Unless necessary and [...]

I’m running late. Where are my keys?!?!
By Jane on December 8, 2009
I’m running late taking the girls to Co-op and I can’t find the keys. Don’t you hate when you’re already late and can’t find the keys. I running around frantically trying to find them. I feel like I’ve lost my mind. I look absolutely EVERYWHERE.

We visit a beautiful garden belonging to a Historic House for Easter.
By Jane on April 5, 2010
My mom read in the news paper somewhere that this historic house was having an Easter thing for kids so we go. An egg hunt was held in the gardens, which are just beautiful here. I think that this place is used as a venue for weddings. It’s gorgeous!

Tired, fed up, I ditch all the work and head to Starbucks and the pool.
By Jane on June 16, 2010
So by now you know that in the last 48 hours I’ve endured a sick child, running around to take care of our car business…kids swimming practice…packing, loading, driving…painting, cleaning, scrubbing…and no sleep. The next morning, Dick takes his pretty little ass’s time waking up. He doesn’t get up until like 11:00. Mind you, I’ve [...]

Remember our little alien sea monkey? Well, it’s grown a little since then. Our latest ultrasound…and 4-D this time. Last time I went in, the technician couldn’t get a good shot but this time, we were more lucky. Although I’m not really sure what the difference between 3-D and 4-D is…even still, it’s WAY better [...]

Apparently, anyone can call a salad a “Greek” salad these days simply by adding some crumbled feta cheese on top and some olives. FETA CHEESE + LETTUCE + OLIVES = GREEK SALAD What’s really weird when you order a GREEK salad and then the guy behind the counter says… “Would you like Ranch or Italian [...]

By Jane on August 29, 2011
Our last night in Gotham City and we decided to go to one of Dick’s favorite places. It’s a French Bakery and it’s open 24 hours! Dick tells me this used to be a factory that was converted into a commercial shopping strip. Amelie’s French Bakery is one of business here. Inside is an eclectic-style [...]

Pregnancy Woes: Grumpy Preggar in da house.
By Jane on January 6, 2011
First semester was all about the fatigue, nausea and morning sickness. However, it seems the second semester, I’ve gotten over that and have moved on to being more moody. I think it’s the hormones but I feel like I’m PMSing BIG TIME. Whereas in the first semester where I was too tired to get wound [...]

Jane finally pops! Our baby has arrived!
By Jane on May 19, 2011
Introducing our new SON!!! I can’t tell you how over the moon we are that he has finally arrived. And because our family can’t do anything the “normal” way, it’s quite a story (to come). But first, I thought you would like to see him. At 6lbs 4 oz, 19 inches long and coming about [...]

Life is extremely busy for us these days. I’m not sure if it’s good or bad but…it is what it is and we’re rolling with the punches. There’s never a dull moment, at least not for me. The girls may disagree but, whatever, kids are always complaining about being bored. Well, today was definitely not [...]

It seems this last year we’ve had lots of visitors and when they visit, we usually chill on my back porch, play ping pong or go biking or all of the above. So, my latest visitor was my Cousin and his son, Dumbledore, who I call my cousin too because it’s so hard to remember [...]

Ducky got to tag along the other day when we went biking. She’s sporting a HOMEMADE helmet utilizing a plastic bowl and strapped on with my bandana. Safety first people. Safety first. -Jane, Grandmother to Ducky.

Three years ago we were blessed to have Monk join our family when Dick gave her to Thelma as a gift for her 5th birthday. Thelma reminded us today by having us celebrate Monk’s birthday.

Dick, as usual, is always trying to get out of having to change a diaper but he loves to hog the baby. After hogging the baby one day, he comes running to me saying, “Baby wants Mommy!” and darts off to go back outside where he was working out. I’m thinking Benz is wanting BOOBIE [...]

Rusty Candle: Random pics for your enjoyment.
By Jane on March 13, 2011
After wacking all that monkey grass, I sat on my back porch to rest a sec and noticed this candle holder I have left outside a long time ago. This used to be silver but I think I like the rusty look much better now. I decide to put this cream floating flower candle on [...]

The Royal Vietnamese: Lucy, Fanny Mae and Freddie Mac.
By Jane on January 7, 2011
Lucy sent me pics of her and my parents visiting a Royal Palace in Vietnam where they got all dressed up in the Royal Garb from back in the day. They looked so cute I just had to edit them and post them for you to see. I get to live vicariously through them you [...]

Being a great parent is when you let kids be kids and let them bring out the kid in you. Even if it means you must don girly cupcakes & hearts underwear on your head. He is quite the Dad isn’t he? I don’t know too many men who would let their kids put underwear [...]

By Jane on July 12, 2010
At the beginning of my trip in Toronto, all the news coverage was about the G20 and how Toronto has gone ALL OUT to secure their city and the multitude of World Leaders who are coming together for this Summit. The reason for the extensive security is because there were protests at the last G-summit [...]
