Mama went back to Alameda to go to work but the kids and Dada stayed behind. Looks like they went for a walk in the morning and then had lunch with the cousins.

Watch us grow!

We had another pool day and this time we brought food for grilling. So fun!


The kids spent time at Auntie Jia’s house and did some coloring in the “classroom” at their house. 
They also went for a walk to the playground.


This is a fun recess!

Then it was lunchtime and Alice and Leela joined them.

It’s still so HOT here in Southern California and the pool at Auntie Jia’s house is open!


Today, we went to visit Ankong and Ama at their new house. Ankong surprised the kids with a cool drawing tablet.

Peanut drew a snail that has a claw for picking up things.

Janie practiced writing her Chinese name.

It was over 100 degrees today and perfect for using Uncle Johnny’s inflatable bouncehouse waterslide!


Today was supposed to be their last day of school.

I love these side-by-side photos of them on the first and last days of school.


Now that we are in Cerritos and everyone has been in “quarantine” for the past few months, we felt it was time to combine our “social bubbles”. Alice and Leela come over to Yai and Ta’s house everyday and we now we have added Toni and Thomas.

It’s so nice to be with the rest of the family again.



It’s Peanut’s Graduation Day from preschool. He started as a Honeybee when he was 20 months old and went all the way up to the Pre-Kindergarten class. With the pandemic and shelter-in-place, graduation was modified to a drive-by event. We lined up in our cars and Auntie Eleen decorated their minivan for the occasion.




When it was Peanut’s turn, his teachers were there to greet him and presented him with a certificate and tassel.


His buddy Ethan was also right behind us in their car!

Afterward, we met up at the ferry parking lot to take some photos.

Here is Peanut with his buddy Maya. Thanks for the candy lei!!


Congratulations to our Peanut!! Kindergarten, here we come!

It’s had been over two months since they saw each other at school. His buddy, Ethan, came over with his dad and they both showed off their newly acquired shelter-in-place skills! It’s so cool that they both learned how to ride their two-wheel bikes at the same time and couldn’t wait to ride around the pool together.
