Magnificent Mehr’s First Birthday

On Memorial Day Monday, I had the good fortune of attending Mehr Yadav’s first birthday.  Super cute little girl and she looked fabulous surrounded by her wonderful family and a slew of friends.  There were so many cute little children at the party.  I felt like a kid in a candy store – every where I turned there was an amazing set of little eyes or a great smile.  Mom (Ashima) and Dad (Manoj) did a great job of getting the party set up and taking care of the guests.  We were at the Pier 40 community room in San Francisco.  I had never been there before but it was a really nice spot for a party – a nice room looking out on the yacht club and a playground next door.  And speaking of the playground, I think big brother Sumaer spent most of the party showing the little ones the best places to play.     He definitely had all the jump moves.

Thank Yadav Family – I had a great time and it was fun to meet you and so many of your friends.  Congrats on getting number 2 to 1 year.  That is no small feat for sure.

Tamar’s Birthday Party

On Saturday, Tamar had her second birthday party at Ruby’s Tumbling in Alameda.  Tamar is the daughter of our good friends Tora and Shi.  There were about 20 kids and their families there and everyone seemed to have a great time. Ruby’s is a perfect spot for parties for children.  Lucius loved the rope swing and all the padded blocks and balance beams.  Yet another reason why leaving San Francisco is actually an OK thing to do.

Thanks Tora and Shai.  Happy Birthday again Tamar.

Doc Oliver’s First Birthday Party

On Saturday, I got to spend the morning with the Tran Family and 20 or so of their friends to celebrate little Oliver’s first birthday.  We met for a Korean brunch at the Seoul Garden in Kabuki Shopping mall.  Oliver was there with his sister Shea and his parent’s Amy and Owen.  Oliver was all styled out in his traditional Korean hanbok.  Amy and Owen were happy when Oliver picked out a stethoscope in his doljabi ceremony.  The stethoscope was laid out in front of him along with a baseball, $20 bill, a crayon.  Tradition says that the stethoscope selection means Oliver will have a long and successful career as a doctor.  We’ll just have to see how that works out but I can say that he has a great community of friends in San Fransisco to help him with all the hours of studying that he seems destined for.

Thanks Tran Family for including me in Oliver’s birthday.  And if you need a photographer for Oliver’s med school graduation party, please give me a call.

Jonah’s Birthday Party

In a stroke of brilliance, Jonah’s parents Rebecca and Ari held the birthday party at My Gym in Potrero Hill.  How they predicted the one day of rain among many sunny days is beyond me. But the indoor space what perfect for the rainy day.  Loads of fun with kids playing, singing and generally having a great time.
