Life Lately

Sorry readers for not posting any recent updates.  Mommy has been busy with work and weekend activities.  Let's get started with what's been going on.  Po Po's birthday recently passed.  Daddy was on business travel, so Po Po and Gung Gung came over to help out.  One of the days they were over happened to fall on Po Po's birthday.  Uncle Derek and Auntie Gabby came over to celebrate by going out to dinner and dessert afterwards.

Auntie Gabby read the girls bedtime stories before the girls showered.  Auntie Gabby was a teacher in her previous job and told the girls she really misses reading stories to children. 

Katelyn continues to love her art lessons.  It's her favorite activity even more than gymnastics.  Bella likes picking up her sister and seeing what she draws each week.

This lesson the kids drew a lighthouse using watercolors and pastels.  It's pretty cool to see how different each of the drawings are and how the kids interpret the lesson.

Katelyn and Daddy spent some quality time together on her day off for Columbus day.  She took Bart to San Francisco.

They walked around the pier and took a selfie.

Their next stop was the Exploratorium.  She tried different activities such as putting her head in this light bulb contraption.

She turned the wheel as fast she could on this gravity exercise.

They ended the day with ice cream.

The girls celebrated Sam's birthday.  She turned two, but almotst weighs as much as Bella.

Bella is such a ham these days.  She decided to wear Mommy's jeans on top of her pajamas.

She also put a ball in her tummy since Teacher C is pregnant.  It's never a dull moment when Bella is around.  She keeps things entertaining!

Spending Time With Family and Friends

The girls had brunch with their good friends Courtney and Natalie at Flemings.  The adults were served complimentary mimosas while the girls shared mac and cheese, chicken tenders and finished off with sundaes.

They walked around Stanford mall afterwards and sat in the the Model X at the Tesla store.

The eating fest continued at Korean BBQ for dinner with Christian, Josh, Auntie Suzy and Uncle Wilbur.  It's been a long time since they have hung out.

Mochi ice-cream was for dessert at Japantown.

They celebrated a few birthdays in the last couple of weeks.  Uncle Vu's birthday at a Thai restaurant.

Ashley turned 6.  These 3 girls are so close and more like sisters instead of cousins.

The girls are involved with different activities and will separate from time to time.  Katelyn is learning different techniques during basketball practice like dribbling with both hands and dribbling in between the legs.  Mommy stayed home with Bella during one of the practices and had udon for lunch.  Udon is one of her favorite things to eat.  She showed Mommy she finished her whole bowl.

Another time, her preschool friends had a play date at a park in the city.

Bella usually prefers Mommy.  Daddy was happy to have some quality time with this little one.

Auntie Justine invited the girls over for dinner.  Greysen is now going to the same school as Katelyn and Mo Mo and Bella are in the same ballet class.

One morning, Bella and Teacher Arnie arrived at school at the same time.  She wanted to hold his hand and walk to class together.  It was cultural day for the teachers, so Teacher Arnie wore his Spanish sandals and brought Spanish snacks.
