In the studio…
On Sunday afternoon, I met up with my co-worker, Renee, for our second photoshoot. I guess she loved the photos from two years ago so much that she wanted to take more this year.
This time she rented out a dance studio in the Mission for two hours and it was a gorgeous space filled with lots of natural light and had vaulted ceilings.
I rented a strobe kit for the shoot, which helped fill the shadows and helped me capture her poses just right. Here are a few of my favorites so far.
I still have lots of processing to do but I thought I’d do a few tonight.
I love this one. She’s so talented.
Here is the entire album.
Kumquat suddenly started to cry during dinner and we thought she didn’t like sitting next to Uncle Jimmy but she was actually really tired. She passed out as soon as I put her down in her bed.
Now that the Sokol-Juns have moved out of the city, we rarely get to hang out anymore. Fortunately for me, they still commute into the city everyday for work and school.
So, on Friday I met up with Michelle and the kids for dinner at Burger Joint. It was fun to see the kids again and how much they’ve grown and changed.
Kumquat loved watching them as she ate her tofu and watermelon.
She was especially enamored with Reese. So cute.
Last year on 12/12/12, my brother texted me really early in the morning and said there was a sale with JetBlue for $12 one-way flights. So we booked flights for the parents to come up and it happened to land on Super Bowl weekend. 
They arrived on Saturday night and on Sunday morning we went to Chinatown for breakfast. We took a crowded bus and everyone was surprisingly accommodating to me because I was carrying Kumquat. Even the little old Chinese ladies were offering up their seats to me.
We browsed the booths they had set-up for Chinese New Year and I almost bought these goldfish for $3.
On Sunday afternoon, we all went down to Foster City to watch the Super Bowl at Jason and Jia’s. Mommy was rooting for the Ravens and had bet $50 on them. So when the 49ers almost made a comeback, it was pretty intense for her (and us). Fortunately she made some money that night.
Jes made steak sammiches and we all had a good time just hanging out watching tv and eating…including Koa, who got lots of tasty steak trimmings too.
Here’s a photo of my steak sammich with a side of jalapeno kettle chips. Yum.
On Sunday morning, I wanted to make breakfast but we only had 3 eggs. So, I pulled together some bacon, half an onion, and some frozen hashbrowns for the bottom of the pan.
Then I scrambled the three eggs with some milk and poured it into the pan. Once I topped it with cheese, it was covered and cooked on low heat.
Here is the final product. We have a breakfast pizza! I also put some fresh tomato on top for a little extra texture and sweetness.
It was pretty tasty and the hashbrown crust didn’t stick to the pan. I also used up the rest of our eggs and cheese in the fridge. Woot.
