La Familia will return!

La Familia's been gone for a while now, but don't give up on us! We've got a new plan for keeping up on a more regular basis, so stick around, and we'll keep you posted on the life and times of the little guy (with maybe a word or two about Rob and Laura).

All the best and more soon from the Thombaums in SF!

Grownup Getaway

Laura and I left junior behind for the first time to attend a wedding in Palm Springs. We missed him a lot.

Gimme that Rib!

Leo tried his first rib recently. We're pretty sure the little carnivore liked it. Amazing what he could do with 1/2 a tooth.

La Familia is Back!

The holidays put a dent in my blog-keeping time, but we're back in 2010 with all-new adventures. Some of them without pants! Look for more, and more frequent updates, in the coming days. Thanks for hanging in there!

Wine for Whiners Pt. 2

Crawling in the grass, slinging grape juice that will one day be wine! Another day in the life of La Familia Thombaum.

Wine for Whiners Pt. 1

When Ryan was in town from Seattle recently, we were lucky enough to be invited up to our friend Karen's family's place in Santa Rosa for a grape harvest/winemaking event. The four of us toiled in the fields with several other guests, picking Pinot Noir and Sangiovese grapes, before moving on to winemaking operations. Leo was moderately impressed by the vineyards, but loved crawling around in the grass and playing in the sandbox.
