Ice Cream with Papa

by Maile Girl on March 25, 2012

When I woke up on Friday morning, guess who was there to see me? Grandma Gail and Papa Cal! And you know what happens when Papa Cal is around? Yep, that’s right – ice cream for Maile Girl!

Mommy and I took Papa Cal up to one of our favorite ice cream spots. I think he liked it because he finished his whole cup and his was way bigger than mine!

Adventure to Lombard Street

by Papa K on March 19, 2012

One of our new favorite weekend activities is to go explore the neighborhood by having Maile call all the shots. We just head out and see where she takes us.

On Sunday, we actually ended up at Lombard Streetarguably the crookedest street in the world. Given all the tourists it had actually been awhile since Christine and I had been down it either.

BTW – Maile is also 100% responsible for her outfit in this video…

Mommy Returns from New York!

by Papa K on March 1, 2012

Christine was in New York all week for work. Maile and I did pretty well, but she definitely missed her Mommy. We weren’t sure if Chris was going to get back before Maile had to go to sleep, so I told her Mommy wouldn’t be home until the morning. Luckily, Chris did make it home in time!

(Dad note: The beginning of the video cracks me up. We were watching Little Einsteins and Maile can’t decide if she can pull herself away until I pause the show. Don’t take it personally, Mommy, Maile gets REALLY focused on her television!)

Maile’s Directorial Debut

by Maile Girl on February 29, 2012

Maile Girl here. For the past 2.5 years and almost 800 blog posts, I’ve been the “star”. I think I’m ready for something more and have decided to take my turn behind the camera…

I apologize that I’m a little shaky holding the camera – I will work on that – but I hope you agree that I really brought out a great performance from Mommy with my directions!

(Dad note: no trickery here, she picked up the iPhone, opened the camera app, turned it on, recorded, and then, most interesting to me, figured out how to turn it off. Perhaps slightly less impressive because she’s seen Mommy and Daddy do it about a million times already!)

New Perspective of San Francisco

by Papa K on February 26, 2012

We took Maile to the top of the observation tower at the De Young Museum today. It was a beaufitul day and Maile really got a kick out of the new perspective of San Francisco. We spent awhile looking for our house and we’re pretty sure we found it!

Duke vs UNC: Crisis Averted

by Papa K on February 8, 2012

We decided to turn on the Duke vs UNC game tonight after dinner. Maile Girl threw Christine and I for a loop when she told us she “liked” the white team (which happened to be UNC in this case). We talked through it with her and finally got her straightened out… but it was a little touch and go there for a moment!

(Dad note: Maile Girl went to bed before the end of the game – but I’m pretty sure she’d fully be behind the Blue Devils after that finish!)

We’ve covered Daddy’s attempts to get Maile bike riding a few times already. Today it was Mommy’s turn. They headed out after school with Maile’s brand new helmet and pedal-free bike that Grandma Jill and Papa Mike sent for Hanukkah. Maile had a blast – my guess is that under Mommy’s tutelage, she’ll be zooming around in no time!

Do you want to go for a bike ride with me?

The Candle Song

by Papa K on January 17, 2012

Mommy taught Maile a new song about being a candle. Maile liked it so much that we (yes, the whole family got involved) sang it 10 times in a row. Don’t worry, we only captured 3 of the times on video…
