Better late than never?

I have had this blog for a few years now, and only posted that one first entry you can see below.

I just couldn't quite figure out how I would manage this along with everything else in life -- but got fired up to give it a try over the weekend, so here goes! I am going to start by combining the blog with my other hobbies of photography and scrapbooking -- hopefully the "synergies" in use of time and interesting blog topics will be mutually reinforcing for all of the hobbies!

For this first post, I bring you Sabby's 30th Bday and my now-signature 30-cake -- made by purchasing the biggest cake you can find at the grocery store then carving out the numbers and re-frosting and decorating it, this time pirate-themed for Sabby of course:

















We were also thrilled to have people over nearly a year after being back in our SF condo:



I took these photos fast, note that people are not holding the olympic torch ablaze in our living room -- it's just a bad shine from my camera and the lights overhead.

Next up in my quest to start blogging -- bachelorette parties galore!

See you tomorrow :)

Starting out

I thought this blog thing might be fun...mostly because I love posting pictures. Also, so many of my friends and family are now spread across the globe and this seems like a good way to keep in touch! Let's see how I do at it...
