We’ve arrive in Cerritos and Ta had concrete poured on half his backyard. It’s perfect for trying out this riding toy outside.
The kids also got to play in the sandbox and Ta built a while ago.
Dinner with the Family
It’s rare that we get the whole family together in the Bay Area. We almost got everyone up here but Uncle Johnny and Auntie Joy couldn’t make it up this weekend. After the birthday party, we all went out for dinner at Southshore Center. The kids ran around for a bit, had some Chinese food, and then stopped for ice cream.
Uncle Jason bought the birthday girl some cherry vanilla ice cream with sprinkles to top off her special day.
Bye Yai
Peanut said goodbye to Yai this morning before heading out to school. There were kisses and hugs…
…and lots of byes.
Goodbye Dinner
We took Yai out for a Japanese dinner this evening to thank her for helping us out with the move. She flies back to Cerritos tomorrow.
Glider
Yai and Peanut have been spending lots of time together in this glider chair.
This morning, they exchanged smooches.
Wednesday
This morning, Yai took Peanut to school.
He played n a tunnel today.
When he got picked up, Yai gave him a bath, and he was in his pjs before Mama even got home.
It was a good day for this little guy.
Early Dinner
Janie has been asking for hot pot since we bought the new house and she got her wish this evening. She helped cook the meat and Peanut tried to use chopsticks.
It was a good thing we had dinner so early because Peanut was so tired midway through and had to go to bed. He was down by 6:30! School really wipes this guy out.
Blocks with Yai
Peanut hasn’t been a fan of his room. He cries every time we bring him inside – probably because he thinks he’s gonna get locked in. We had to install a baby gate at the door since they wouldn’t fit at the top of the stairs. Today, we played in his room and had a good time. Hopefully, he’ll enjoy playing in his room soon.
Yai and Peanut
Yai has been a really big help during this move. It’s been particularly helpful in the mornings. She gets up early with Peanut, gets him ready for school, and drops him off too.
First Weekend
On our first weekend in our new home started with a trip back to the SF condo to meet with a realtor and to pick up some more items. Janie came along and had to keep herself busy in the condo during our appointment. She was also squished in the back seat of the car with a bunch of boxes. As a special treat for being so good (and patient), she got her first Happy Meal. It came with 4 Chicken McNuggets, a tiny bag of fries, yogurt, and a Hot Wheels car. Fun!
In the afternoon, the kids had a fun time in the patio. They played bubbles, watered the plants and enjoyed the fresh air.
Janie also got to ride her scooter around the “front yard”. Boy oh boy…our weekends are definitely looking a lot different than they used to.
