Timing is Everything

When Lukas first arrived, he taught us that timing is everything. We try to time most activities around his naps and nursing schedule. Sometimes it works out and sometimes it doesn't. This weekend was a good example of that. On Saturday, we planned to meet up with Edwin's sister and mom. We knew that we would go to either the Oakland Zoo or the Bay Area Discovery Museum. We decided to go to the Bay Area Discovery Museum and to lunch first at Sam's Cafe in Tiburon. It was a nice day eat outside, but by the time Lukas woke up from his nap, we drove over to Tiburon, had lunch, and got to the museum, it was 4PM. The museum closed at 5PM. To make things worse, Lukas feel asleep again and woke up at 4:45. We did take him in for the last 15 minutes since his cousin Freeman was already inside and they wouldn't charge us since they were closing. It was fun and we'll definitely be back because we bought a membership for half price online. This was the day that timing did not work out for us.

For Easter, they have an Easter egg hunt on our block every year. It starts promptly at noon and is usually over by 12:03PM. Lukas woke up from his nap just in time for the hunt to begin. His cousin Freeman, on the other hand, woke up about 5 minutes too late. (It's OK, his dad Jon picked up a few eggs for him and we had a private egg hunt for him.) Lukas didn't realize what was going on with the egg hunt, but his cousin Freeman was very excited to find eggs.

We were invited for a second egg hunt and brunch at Jamie and Kaori's house. We weren't sure if Edwin's family would be up for a second egg hunt, so we didn't know what time we would be able to get there. Though I texted and called to let Jamie and Kaori know that we were on out way (they didn't answer, presumably because they were already eating!), it was too late. We arrived to see the remnants of a delicious ham, egg frittatta, croissants, and fruit. Alas, timing is everything... next time! (We arrived in time for the second egg hunt.) Maybe next year, Lukas will be into collecting eggs in his basket. Pictures will be posted someday! Happy Easter!
