A Year in Pictures - 2009
It's been a big year here in San Francisco. I don't have much time to blog about it (scroll down to see the adorable reason for my time crunch), so I'll put up some photos, instead.
We started the year off well with Bryan getting his weirdo thoughts published on a bunch of kitsch from a San Francisco based company! His first paid job! Look for the items in novelty stores all over.
I got a new bike, and we took a ride in Golden Gate Park!
I got to meet my good friend's baby. He's half Frenchman.
We threw an anniversary party in Arizona for my wonderful parents.
Then, we did some sight-seeing in an old mine.
We went on a wine tour to some fancy-dancy wineries in Napa...
...and had a blast.
Funny that this is the next photo, but I swear, I didn't get knocked up because I was drunk from wine tasting.
For my birthday, despite the fact that I was still suffering from major morning (all the time) sickness, we visited the remodeled Academy of Sciences.
Bryan's sister came out from the East Coast to visit, so we got to do some touristy stuff with her.
Then, we went and did some more touristy stuff in Seattle! Most of it involved a lot of eating.
Then, it was time to get the room ready for the baby. Bryan painted his former office baby blue for the upcoming little arrival.
At the end of the summer, we were able to get away to Yosemite with some friends from my work. It was Baby's first trip there. His room had no view, but perhaps, we'll go back soon.
We celebrated Bryan's birthday with ice cream cake from one of the best creameries in San Francisco. Mmmm... malted ice cream with chocolate sprinkles!
This fall, we had a babyshower, for which my parents flew in!
A fun time was had by all (including the little belly monster pictured here).
Bryan got to work assembling many baby items.
For Halloween, we tossed together his costume from things we had around the house... yes, he owns a sheriff button just for real life stuff.
And my mom made my costume.
We had some really bad car karma this year. When I was eight months pregnant, a woman in the Babies R Us parking lot backed into our Honda, causing $2300 in damages. We took it as a sign and decided to sell the car...
...in order to buy a much safer-for-baby brand new car...
...which was then hit by a crazy person while parked on the street outside our home less than a week later. The crash caused $8000 in damages. Boo. It's mostly fixed, now.
I spent some time, as my due date neared, taking advantage of maternity leave. I took this while I was strolling along in the Presidio.
Then, the big day arrived! Baby made his debut!
And my family came to visit for Thanksgiving, since the Little One was still too small to travel!
The grandparents enjoyed the baby at both Thanksgiving and Christmas...
...for which they returned bearing many presents.
That's the year in a nutshell. If you want to see more photos, you can add me as a contact on Flickr. I can, then, add you as a friend, so that you can see my "friends and family only" photos. That is, if you're really my friend.
Happy new year!
