The Weekend


The Helmeted Family Photo (it just had to be done!)

Vivian "graduated" on Friday from helmetwearing. Basically, she outgrew the helmet. We saw a good amount of correction; her head's still a little flat, but not so lopsided from the torticollis. Like mother, like daughter, I guess: I have a huge dent in my head; Vince has always said he can feel my brain. A perfect-headed family we are not.


My City baby

With dear friends

Vivian's; Palace of Fine Arts

With friends visiting from LA, we ate sandwiches in my favorite San Francisco neighborhood, then drove to another neighborhood for cupcakes (passionfruit reigns as my favorite), found an old school salon called Vivian's and walked around the Palace of Fine Arts.


Adult dinners rock; Lots of laughing

Sunday was an mmmmmm dinner up in the city while Viv hung out with my parents. I started the evening with a cocktail called the Freudian Slip. Only good can follow that, right?! Our waiter reminded me so much of Tim Gunn it was uncanny...I kept waiting for him to say "Carry on" or "Make it work." He was precious. (And reminded me that I have a few Project Runways to catch up on.) A lovely, adult evening! I never really feel the need for a break from mothering, but making the time to be with just Vince or friends is always rejuvenating.

What did you enjoy doing over the long weekend?

You guys are the CUTEST family!! I love the helmet shot & the shot in front of Vivian's! So glad you got to have a fun weekend with friends-I am sure Vivian loves the sights and sounds of the city. And the "kissy face" picture on the side is soooo cute! Hannah you are capturing great photos! And Miss Vivian is looking so grown up without her helmet!
