One Last Goodbye
Friday was Dr. Mai‘s last day and so of course there was one more party for her.
Here’s a photo of us as 3 tigers, a unicorn, and a reindeer. Confused? It’s just an inside joke that I don’t think will be worth explaining here. 🙂
Fruit Everywhere!
On Saturday morning we all woke up early and left the house by 8:30 for a trip to Brentwood. It’s a 54-mile drive to the middle of farmtown to pick some white peaches, cherries, and blackberries. The weather was warm but pleasant and the fruit was plentiful.
Little J had a good time giving Uncle Bang dirt, wandering the orchard, and feeding the goats some twigs. Jes and I ended up with about 4 pounds of fruit – 3 white peaches and lots of Bing and white cherries.
We also found some bootilicious cherries that were just as yummy.  The others also picked a bunch of blackberries, which turned out to be the best deal since they were so tiny and had no seed inside. For $2.50/pound, we have enough fruit for at least a week and had a fun time pickin’ fruit.
For lunch, we went to a Red Robin in some mall that we found along the way. The last time I had Red Robin was a while ago in Irvine and it was delicious. We were all so excited that we ordered the Tower of (Onion) Rings for the table. Awesome.
My Doctor, Dr. Mai
Last night we had a going-away Happy Hour for our dearest Dr. Mai at Marc 49. She’s leaving us for a 3-year residency at the VA Hospital in Westwood to become a doctor in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation. She’s not only a great doc but has been so much fun to have as our pediatrician and even patched up my finger
I was a dummy and sliced my middle finger on a knife after our Fun Friday outing to McDonald’s with the kids. Anyway, we’ll certainly miss her…especially during next year’s w/c bball tourney.
Sunday Smokey Supper
Ryan was in the mood for BBQ on Saturday so he went to Home Depot and bought himself a smoker. On Sunday, we had a variety of smoked meats including ribs, short ribs, country ribs, and even a bloomin’ onion.
Jack also had the chance to show off his new skills. At 18 months, he’s walking really well now, saying lots of words, labeling photos of people (including Auntie Beak), and even driving…his little red car. 🙂 What a big boy.
Deja Vu
Since I’m in class all this weekend, I’m finally getting the chance to organize and upload photos from last weekend.
Here are photos from Bang’s “I Got a Job!” Celebration last Friday.
Here are photos from our quick trip up to Napa last Saturday.
Yay Eleen!
My friend Eleen is doing so many exciting things lately and this is probably one of the coolest so far. She was asked to submit an article about her DIY Wedding on Etsy and it was published yesterday!
When she asked to use some of my photos I had no idea it was for this and I’m so honored to be a part of it! As soon as it was posted, my smugmug portfolio has been getting a ton of new hits from all over the world. It’s a little creepy but really cool at the same time. Anyway, I’m still in love with my eleen bags and can’t wait to buy another one.
Check out all her cute products on her Etsy shop or at the next craft fair. Go to eleen.com for updates on her next whereabouts.
