We had brunch this morning at Mission Rock Resort and got a nice corner table on the patio.

This was the breakfast sandwich that the brothers shared today.

The twins came dressed in the onesies that we bought them. So cute. Looks like Toni won and Thomas disagrees.

My mom hung out with Toni while Thomas was getting fed.

KK hung out with Thomas once he was full and happy.

This photo of the three of them makes me chuckle. Can’t wait to add Peanut to the mix.

Thomas finally figured out how to use his pacifier while Toni has completely mastered it. KK took this cute photo of Jia with the kids.

Thomas and Toni turned a month old this week. While we were at their house yesterday, I snapped a couple photos of them during their brief moments of being awake and content. It’s fun to see their little personalities come out each time we see them. Jia and Jason are also adjusting to their new life quite well.

Family BBQ

On our way home from Monterey, we stopped in Redwood City to BBQ and Jes helped Jason install an AC unit in the twins’ room.

It really melts my heart to see how sweet and attentive KK has been with the babies this weekend. Here is a picture of her playing with Toni on Saturday night at the hotel.

And here she is with Toni again on Sunday night. We’re gonna have to find a rocker for Peanut so that she can be the official baby soother in the house. She’s got the rocking and shushing mastered already.

KK-moon in Monterey

On Friday night, we decided to go take KK to Monterey as our version of a Babymoon but more appropriately called a KK-moon. We booked a room at our favorite hotel, Monterey Plaza Hotel, and stayed overnight on Saturday night.

With the start of my maternity leave this weekend, we thought it would be a good time to take this mini vacation with our first born. It could very well be the last real trip that we take as a family of 3.

We lucked out with gorgeous weather there. It was sunny and just the right temperature outside.

Of course, we visited the aquarium and saw some favorites and some new things too.

We took our little girl to the beach nearby and she had a wonderful time collecting rocks and playing in the water.KK was so excited to play at the beach, which she kept calling “Hawaii”. And our “Monterey House” was the “Manta Ray House” to her.

Jia and Jason also decided to take an epic drive down to meet us for dinner. It was their first big outing with the twins. It’s definitely a new experience for all of us with so many kids now. Here’s Jia squished in a booth between the two sleeping babies at dinner.

Toni (above) and Thomas (below) were very well-behaved and slept through most of dinner.During dessert, they both needed to eat so Jes kept Thomas company as he was waiting to be fed.

We’re so glad they came out and I think they were surprised that it wasn’t as scary/painful as it initially seemed when we invited them.

We had a really nice weekend together and look forward to meeting Peanut. Vacations will never be the same with 2 kids in tow but we’re ready for that next adventure!!

Avia’s Family

Back in 2013, when Sophie turned 18 months, I did a photoshoot for Ranee and family. Now that they have a second one, they wanted to get another photoshoot done for her 1st birthday. We went back to Chrissy Field but had to move up to the beach because there were cranes in the background of the grassy area where we were last time. Luckily the sand dunes worked out just fine and I managed to get a few good shots of their party of 4. Here’s a shot from 2013…
