We are going to be in Cleveland this week, coming in Thursday night and leaving on Friday night after dinner. Is anyone interested in dinner on Friday? 6pm-ish? La Tortilla Feliz in Tremont or Sokolowski's University Inn, also in Tremont? Let me know if you are interested...

Sonia had a great time in Maryland for her 1st birthday and the Korean relatives had a great time getting her dressed up for her "dol" where she picked dates, indicating that she is destined to be prosperous. :)

Here's Sonia choosing prosperity:

 Yes, folks, she will be one tomorrow! I am very excited, since it also means I am on vacation for a week. We are going to Maryland tonight to watch my sister graduate from high school tomorrow, have Sonia's birthday among the Koreans on Saturday, and hang out and not answer the pager until next Thursday. Sonia is doing well, can walk, dance, is ( Read more... )

Take a look at this

(ring ring) Me: Hello?
S: Hi, this is Sharon. Are you here right now?
Me: Um... Yes.
S: Oh. Okay. I had some questions...

I haven't posted in a while. Things have been busy.

Sonia will be 10 months old this weekend and is a busy little girl as well. She definitely knows what she wants in life and goes after it ( Read more... )

Two things:
1. I'm very excited about going to Colorado this week with Brent and Sonia to a rheumatology conference. Not only will I not have the pager, but I will also get to hand with Gieves and sweetypotatoe. :) Very exciting!

2. Sonia took her first steps 2 days ago. She's getting to be a toddler!

Yay for sweetiepotatoe, whose work was referenced in The Atlantic this month! :) Brent was reading the Atlantic, and says, "Hey, look at this!" and it was indeed our good friend in print. Yay!

I'm off call this weekend and the holidays are over (along with their ensuing craziness). Initially, Brent drove up to Cleveland and Sonia and I flew up to meet him there. We saw some friends in Westlake, then drove up to Michigan to spend time with Brent's family. We came back to Cleveland on Boxing Day to see friends, then I flew back to North ( Read more... )
