Ok, I’m on a roll — pics from January & February, including our trip with John Welle & the Millers to Mammoth, are posted. (Hm, let’s see if the kid will give me an extra 10min to actually post something about our Mammoth trip…) Mammoth was awesome. Ok, so my expectations were [...]
The weekend of December 15th we went on a road trip along the Mojave Road in the Sportsmobile. I had some misgivings about this trip, to the point where I almost decided not to go. However, I’d wanted to do the Mojave Road ever since I met Tad, so it was about time. [...]
Last week we went to Rhode Island to visit our New England friends and relatives. A sampling of pictures are up on Phanfare.
We were originally supposed to fly out at the end of October. We chose that date because it was right after my brother Gus’s son (Gus III) was born, and it [...]
Team Teddy’s 2007 season has come to a fabulous conclusion, as Elisabeth crossed the finish line of the Anchorage Mayor’s Half Marathon with her friend Sally. Elisabeth achieved both her goals: to finish in less than 4 hours (3:49:28, to be exact), and to raise $4,795 for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS). [...]
Last week was my mother’s school’s winter break, so she and my dad came to San Diego for the week. Tad & I decided to take advantage of the free babysitting to go to Mammoth. We haven’t snowboarded since December 2005, when I was one month pregnant. My parents arrived on Saturday [...]
Traveling with Lane at 4 months old had its ups & downs. Here are my lessons learned, the challenges I had, and a review of the stuff I brought with me. Overall I think it went pretty smoothly.
Last night we got back from spending Christmas in Tortola, in the British Virgin Islands. This post will be the trip report. Later I will do a baby-focused post on lessons learned from traveling with Lane.
Mom & Elisabeth came to visit last weekend! We had a great time. It was Auntie (pronounced “ahhntee”) Elisabeth’s first time meeting Lane. Because we decided not to do the Nike Marathon this year, which was going to be our Sunflower Girls trip, this trip was our 2nd Annual Sunflower Girls Outing. [...]
Elisabeth came to visit us last weekend. She had a conference at Disneyland in Anaheim last week. The weekend before last we drove up to Anaheim on Sunday to hang out with her at the pool. We thought about going into the park, but I can’t exactly ride the rides right now, [...]
Day 1: Friday, June 16, 2006
About three or four years ago, Tad introduced me to a remarkable vehicle called a Sportsmobile. My initial reaction was, “yeah, whatever, automotive boy toy.” But one day, while we were kayaking at San Onofre State Beach, I saw one. San Onofre is a rare beach where [...]
Last weekend we went up to Boston to attend my brother’s wedding. It was wonderful! It was so great to see my brother so happy, and so much in love! I’m so happy for them.
We had a great trip. We decided to make a bit of a vacation out of it. [...]
Wow, a blog entry not having to do with being pregnant! Well, it certainly comes into the story… I had a b-trip to Virginia this past week (Sprint Nextel’s headquarters are in Reston). We flew in to Reston on Wednesday evening. Our meetings – which went well – were on Thursday [...]
Finally, the trip we’ve been preparing for all summer! On Thursday, August 4, 2005, Tad and I headed up to the Sierra Nevada to make a summit attempt on Mount Whitney, the highest peak in the Continental United States. Our climbing companions were Grace Chui, Cathi Larsen, and Cathi’s dad Jim Woods. [...]
Better a month and a half late than never… finally, my Napa & Sonoma Valley Trip Report!
Ursula Haase’s favorite flower was the sunflower, and her favorite color was yellow. Ursula was my grandmother, and through her, my mother Doris, my aunt Elisabeth, and I are connected. Last year, inspired by Mom’s 60th birthday, [...]

In preparation for our hike up Mt. Whitney next month, Tad, Scott, Grace and I decided to hike up White Mountain to test our bodies’ reactions to high altitude. On Saturday, July 2, we arrived in Lone Pine around 2pm and decided to take a detour to Whitney Portal [...]
