a weekly log of our everyday life
Jake was away the last four days (Friday-Monday) at a conference in Florida. He was invited to represent UCLA, which was such an honor! The last time he attended a conference to present his paper, only about 3 people showed up because his session was the very last one on the very last day, so […]

We spontaneously took a family trip down to the Aquarium of the Pacific on Saturday! The day was so lovely and perfect. Baby R was in a generally happy mood. She was super excited to see all the “blub blub” (a.k.a. fishies!). Even we were pretty excited to see all the sea animals. It’s amazing […]

Why is it that weekends seem to zip by in the blink of an eye!?! We tried to have a lazy weekend since we’ve been busy the last several weekends and have plans for the upcoming ones. But it seems we’re almost incapable of making no plans. It’s just more fun hanging out with other […]

Literally, we do have butterflies! Well, just one butterfly. A few weeks ago, Jake went on a frenzy with milkweed plants and caterpillars. In short, there was a milkweed plant growing outside of our apartment and Jake noticed there were caterpillars on it! This excited him so much that we went to our local ACE […]

The big highlight of our week was… finally defeating the game Luigi’s Mansion on the Nintendo Switch! We started this game about 5 years ago when Cindy got the game for Christmas from one of Jake’s brothers. This all began with us playing the Luigi’s Mansion arcade game at the Santa Monica pier. It was […]

It’s Cindy’s last week of summer break before going back for her 8th year of teaching! She had so many plans lined up and was so excited for one last hurrah. Unfortunately, Baby R had different plans. For one, she decided it was time to drop from 2 naps to 1. Anyone who is a […]

The weekends seem to just fly by. We had the most amazing, relaxing Saturday. In the morning, the three of us took a walk around the block. It was so special because for the first time ever, Baby R wanted to hold both our hands during the walk! In the afternoon, we took Baby R […]

We didn’t get much of a summer last year because we were busy being sleep-deprived and adjusting to life with a baby. But we’re ready to make up for it this year!!! (or at least Cindy is… it’s crunch time for Jake and his paper…) Cindy is officially on summer break! And she and Baby […]
