At the Oakland zoo with Stella

We spent a day with Auntie Stella and Uncle Jason at the Oakland Zoo last weekend.


Ella enjoyed the outing, but not so much the animals yet.

Check out this Ghetto goat with a brush in its coat.

This has got to be one of the nicest and juiciest behinds I've seen!

For All the Ella Fans

I know I've been a little lazy about posting lately, but I do have a few of Ella's recent pics to share. Hope you like it!! She's becoming such a big girl with her own mind now.

Enjoying her milk in her rocking chair.


Waking up in the morning.

Watching her favorite show, Yo Gabba Gabba, on TV.


Love those pigtails!!!


A little milk drunk.


She's been wearing accessories.


Check out Daddy's toes on Ella! Or are they just fingers that grew on her feet???

Little Picasso.


She knows to smile for the camera now.

Happy Birthday Manisone

We celebrated Manni's birthday at Range this past weekend. The food was DeLeeCious, especially my coffee rubbed pork shoulder and Manni's roast chicken, the skin was so crispy. How did they do that?


And then there was the chicken liver that was finger licking good.


The highlight of the evening was Tito's "not so subtle way" of telling us that BJ Novak was seated next to us. "Hey! it's that dude from The Office!!"

Uncle Ethan's book for Ella

Uncle Ethan created a riddle book for Ella with riddles he came up with over the summer. It was a summer project that went into the fall. Thanks so much Uncle Ethan!!! I can't wait to read it to her :)


She loves having her Uncle sit next to her at the dinner table too!

2010 Armenian Food Festival

We finally made it to the Armenian Food Festival on Brotherhood Way by our house this year. We pass by it every year, but never made it. I think all of the Armenians in SF showed up, we were the few Asians around, and truly felt like a minority in the Sunset!!

The food was really overpriced, but since we've never tried it before it was justifiable... My plate here was a whopping $31. My favorite were the beans in the bowl and the Souvlaki. Tim loved the puff pastry filled with mild cheese, and Lola's favorites were all the honey sweet goodness.

Ella liked the cookie a lot, which surprisingly not too sweet.

But of course, she liked the dancing even more!

Party Ella

We attended our last wedding of this year at the Ritz Carlton in Half Moon Bay yesterday. It was our first time there and the weather couldn't be more gorgeous! The location was just breathtaking and we got to enjoy the sunset while sipping Champagne and Sangria!

Becky and Carl made sure every detail was taken care of personally. We loved all the thoughtful individual favors and the guest book.

While Ella got packs of cookies, Mommy and Daddy received these beautifully made soapstone hearts.Ella had a blast dancing and absolutely loved all of the delicious goodies.


Thanks for inviting us Becky and Carl! I guess Ella's not ready to be a bride yet.

Daddy Playtime

Ella has definitely identified Daddy as her playmate and Mommy as the go to for everything else, or maybe it's because Daddy's KRA-ZZZ.

I found these from a toiletry bag. They are "evil eye" pendants we got on Mykonos from our honeymoon 4 years ago.


She also like to bully Daddy too. Like mother like daughter I guess...
