k10tales asked: I love hip old fashioned names.. I named my daughter Violet Mae and I love the name Hazel. How did you guys come up with the name? Did you go back and forth or did you have Hazel from the get go? Would love to hear your runners up!

Last night my parents went out to celebrate their brithdays…
A Counting Crows concert at House of Blues
[hold the phone: Counting Crows is only my ALL TIME FAVORITE BAND. EVER. Judge all you want, but have you ever noticed that you can do a slow running-man to every single one of their songs which is pretty much my definition of musical greatness! I considered inviting myself to join...

Today is Mama A’s birthday…
and in honor of the woman who spends her life celebrating, supporting and loving us with all of her heart, El Hazel and I treated our girl to a birthday extravaganza!!!
We surprised mom with 3 dozen roses and a leisurely lunch at Carmines where we shared a chopped salad, some homemade pasta and a bottle of vino
…not to mention, hours of...
well, you never knew exactly how much space you occupied in people’s lives.

cause for celebration
Hazel had a big weekend…
She got to meet her uncle Andrew who flew in from NY for some quality time with his god-daughter.
He spoiled her with a new dress & baby espadrilles [ah!], a whole case of blind-boxed Androids and live concert of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat [act I]. She loved it…him!
