Mark’s 3 Part Birthday

28 Aug 2013

Part One: Out in SF with Friends

Carlo and Dave surprised Mark at Suppenkuche, one of our favorite restaurants. It was SO awesome of those guys to rally – I know Mark was off the charts happy. The double surprise was perfect. We drank beer and marveled that Dave had never been there before. If you go, all you need to know is this: Jägerschnitzel. (in Champignonsoße mit Spätzle und grünem Salat – Translation: Sauteed Porkloin in Mushroom Sauce served with Spätzle & Green Salad)

Baking Bread

27 Aug 2013

Oscar learned to make Bread (and butter too) in his first week of school!

He brought the recipe home, and Nanu helped him make his own. It was delicious!
(full disclosure, Nanu used a second ‘rise’. This was not Nanu’s first bread rodeo.)

The kids are off to a fun start!

Ps. A past version of bread at Nanu’s house.

Last Day of Summer

21 Aug 2013

Let’s be clear. In terms of the weather, Summer is still on it’s way. Our summer is Indian Summer, and happens once everyone is back in school. But there is nothing to be done about that. I’m talking about the calendar, and the last day of summer is a wistful Sunday that ends with a “school night” – early bedtime.

The sun was out, and we didn’t have anything scheduled, so we just hung out.

First Day Of School – Lucy

19 Aug 2013

Lucy goes to school in the afternoons. I used to think that kids should go to school in the morning, on principle or something, so Oscar always went for the AM program. I’m no longer hung up on that arbitrary concept, and we enjoy the PM program as a paragon (fancy word in honor of b2s).
Lucy and I enjoy quiet mornings together. Then she heads to Laurel Hill at 1pm.
(This year she will go at noon on Mondays and Wednesdays)
