What a wonderful week this one was \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Getting back to work full time was actually really hard. I think it did everyone a lot of good though. There’s been a lot of late nights, waking up on funky schedules, and the like. It was getting to be too much for all of us :-\/<\/p>\n

Luka started pre-preschool this week.<\/a><\/p>\n

I went to CES in Las Vegas with my dad and Aydin. It was fantastic<\/a>!<\/p>\n

With my dad and Doruk here this weekend, we got to do a bunch of family bonding. My dad and I swam<\/a> with the kids, and then afterwards we went to Benihana for dinner. The kids love the show and the food (and so do I). It took me 4 years, but I finally converted Micky as well.<\/p>\n

Today we went to soccer, and then created an awesome brunch. Turkey bacon is delicious, and something we’ll get into the fridge more often methinks. Amelia is on a weird no-nap kick, and somehow we have to break it. The hard part is she passes out at 4:30ish, and it just makes for a long afternoon. All the while, Micky was up in Marin having fun with friends. It was an awesome day.<\/p>\n

We took my dad to the airport before dinner, and then Doruk to the airport after the kid’s bed time. Great week, and a great weekend to top it all off.<\/p>\n

On to the next one!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
