That's right everyone, I got an upright bass! Posted below are some pictures. I've been playing it so much I haven't had time to write many posts but Ash and I have been very active these past few weeks. It seems like nearly every weekend we go into L.A. for some reason or another. For instance, the other day we went to 3rd Street, Santa Monica with Leah and then this weekend we went to a Cinco De Mayo festival at Olivera Street downtown (near Union Station). The bass was made in Mittenwald Germany and its a little bit older, which is nice. It means it will be more stable in this climate because it's been here for a while. The guy I bought the bass from claims it was made in the 50's but I don't think its that old.   Labels: jazz, music, pictures

 So for Christmas my boss gave me a gift certificate for the Amadeus Spa and Salon. I went there today with Leah, and we got haircuts. Here are pictures of my new hair. I love going there, I got a haircut there last year when I had a gift certificate, and I wish that I could get my hair cut there all the time. Its like $100 for a haircut though, so I'll just have to be satisfied with Fantastic Sams. After that, Leah and I went shopping and then picked Nate up from work and we went to The Stinking Rose, a garlic themed restaraunt in Beverly Hills. We had garlic bread with garlic spread, garlic chicken, whole cooked garlic cloves, garlic mashed potatos, even garlic ice cream. The ice cream was suprisingly good. All in all, it was a great afternoon and evening and I was so happy for a break in my week. And I can say with certainty that there will be no vampires at our house tonight.

 Here are some pictures from my recent visit to Pennsylvania. It was so great to see Erin and Rod and the kids and experience an actual winter again. You can see the ice floating in the river in some of the pictures. The kids are hilarious - whenever I turned on the video camera they wanted to sing "Holy, Holy, Holy". No other songs, just "Holy, Holy, Holy". Adelaide is learning how to read and working on basic math. While I was there she did a lesson on counting change and did a great job. She really knows how to count those dimes. Henry is two and learning how to pee-pee in the potty. Actually, he's learning how to stay dry between trips to the bathroom, a task that became much easier last Friday when Erin decided that she was tired of washing three pairs of little boys jeans a day, and sprung for some snazzy vinyl underwear for him. Henry wasn't too happy about that, and it took a great deal of coaxing to get him excited about wearing an elasticized poncho. Adelaide took the rubber undies out of the package and smelled them and said, "They smell like my swimming pool." While I was there we went to this iron works place called John Wright Company. They had tons of great things, especially in the bargain room upstairs, but unfortunately, I had to think about how I would get items made of iron into my suitcase and home. I did get some great baking dishes, but had to leave the five foot coat rack behind. Labels: ashley, family, pictures, trips
