Mama flew home today and the kids did a group facetime call to say goodnight.
Backyard BBQ
It’s just another day in Cerritos with the family! This evening, they had a BBQ in Alice and Leela’s backyard complete with food, obstacle courses, and a campfire with s’mores!
Goodnight Call
July 4th
It’s July 4th today! The day started with donuts and Animal Crossing.
Then we went to Toni and Thomas’ house for the day. Dada and Uncle Jason smoked some brisket and the kids played.
When the sun went down, we all stood in front of the house and watched the fireworks that Uncle Johnny and Mama bought. The neighbors next door took turns lighting theirs with ours. So fun!
Happy Birthday, America!
Keeping in Touch
While Janie has been in SoCal for the summer, her friend Maya is back at home missing her. What’s nice is that they can still call each other over Facetime and play Roblox together.
Combining Bubbles
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.
Count Your Chickens
The kids played a new board game called “Count Your Chickens”. It requires working together so it’s Mama approved.
More Inside Activities
Peanut helped Dada make salad today. He’s becoming quite the little helper lately.
Then we had dinner with Ankong, Ama, Toni, Thomas, Auntie Jia, and Uncle Jason over Zoom.
We had another family game night after dinner and played “SORRY!” This is how we spend our crazy Friday nights now. 🙂
“Distant” Friends
Maya (her friend from the neighborhood and school), drew some pictures and wrote her a note outside our house. Janie saw it later and called her over Facetime. It’s nice to see that they can still “hang out” during this weird time.
Preschool Zoom Meeting
Peanut had a Zoom meeting with his class today. It’s usually hard to keep him engaged but today seemed to go alright.
