old wedding photos

Jimmy emailed us some wedding photos he took.
I walked down the aisle alone, but I had Jung walk me part of the way. She played an influential role in my NYC life. You can't tell, but she was making little Sophie as we walked!

Heather and Dave played the music in the beginning of the wedding. We requested Iron and Wine songs before the wedding started. The maids and groomsmen walked down to Bjork's "Unravel" and I walked down to her "Cocoon" song. They played so beautifully!

Here are our cherished friends, starting from left to right: Jessika Jackson (please come home, I miss you), Jasmine Wright (the hottest girl at the wedding), Manami Thompson (I can't wait to visit you in your new place Sakura Season!), Ether Simonson (I'll never forget the amoebas before the wedding, thanks for always being there for me!!), Avalon Brevik (soon to be the most influential artist of her time), Nova Wei (future president of America), Jersey (handsome!), Will Elphick (we never see you!! Let's jam!), Ivan Sulic (you are a treasure in my heart!), Chicago, (I don't think I have ever seen you blink), Andy Gray (don't write my name on any bombs!). I love how my girls are lined up by height and Jersey's guys are just "whatevs".

The money shot!

Jersey finally with the one he loves... Sam Adams!

My old co workers, that ended up in my closest circle, Jimmy and Yuko. Isn't Yuko lovely?
If you've got pictures of our wedding, please send to us!

the namesake


I've been pretty bummed out lately. I rarely get to be with Kaia and my milk supply is running out. I wanted to breastfeed her until she was 12 months, but it's not going to happen. It's no secret around the house, cause I have been moping around for days. Jersey thought it best to take us out to the beach Saturday. Kaia's never seen the ocean and it's her namesake! We got to Ocean Beach and immediately took her to dip her feet in the wet sand. She wasn't scared at all, she was actually pretty chill per usual. Even when the wave lapped up her legs, she didn't flinch! That's my girl!

the godfathers

Last weekend I made brunch for Jimmy and Greg, Kaia's beloved Godfathers.

Fresh mint tea was brewed, along with Blue Bottle Coffee, a special blend called Yirg.

I also made homemade bagels with a new red flour that Eatwell Farms is hand milling. The rest of the menu was: souffle pancakes, yogurt cakes made with plain Saint Beniot Yogurt, and fresh egg fritatta lanced with feta cheese, leeks, and pimientos de padrons from Happy Quail Farms. If you need any of these recipes, let me know!

Thanks for hanging out with us Godfathers!
