Babybump's first t-shirt

Well, you've all been beat! Joel's cousin Margaret just sent the cutest baby tee from her daughter Amanda's alma mater. It's a *little* big right now, but one day it'll fit beautifully.

Now for everyone else to join in! UCLA, UC Davis, Cal State LA... come on folks, we don't want to pay private school fees!

Happy Mother's Day!

We received a sweet poem from our friend Sierra and thought we'd share it with all of you for Mother's Day. It's a little long so just click HERE to read it.

Jack and Aparna at Sean's Cinco de Mayo Little League game

Babybump's cousin Jack (Joel's sister Michelle and her husband John's high spirited youngest) pointing out to the otherwise blissfully ignorant world where our baby is at present time.

Babybump's first marcha!

Here is Baby and Aparna in their first march in support of immigrant rights.


Thousands of people took to the streets to demand fair and just immigration reform and an end to raids that are terrorizing communities.


Good thing this wasn't LA, or else Baby would have had to deal with its first tear-gas police brutality attack! Papi Joel has already experienced enough of that kind of police response!

To get a great idea of how the day's event unfolded, check out the Oakland Tribune's slideshow of the march by clicking HERE.

Baby says "¡Adelante en la lucha social!"... or at least that's how we interpret Aparna's current love of frozen desserts!
