Po Po's Solo Weekend with Spencer

Eunice's mom flew in to town on February 25th to spend some quality time with us. Her real purpose, however, was to make it possible for us to take off for our weekend Kibbutz LA Redux trip unencumbered by Spencer!


Spencer had a great time with Po Po eating yummy Chinese food, playing games, singing songs, reading books, taking walks around the neighborhood, pretending to drive the Xterra, and going to the park! Thanks for everything, mom - what a treat to spend a rare weekend away with friends, knowing that Spencer was in capable and loving hands back home.

Brian and Cora's Visit

We had a full house last weekend-- we both had our post-college roommates out to visit! Brian (coming from New York) and Cora (coming from DC) were here all weekend... we also had a chance to catch up with our friends Spencer, Lee, KB, and Iein.



Activities over the course of the weekend with Brian and Cora included meeting up with Iein and his kids to check out the San Francisco Zoo on Saturday, hanging out the beer garden at Park Chalet with Lee and KB, playing frisbee at Ocean Beach, a beautiful drive down Route 1 to Half Moon Bay, clam chowder at Barbara's Fish Shack, hot pot at our place with Spencer and Lee, and dim sum at Joy Luck. The weather was fantastic (can you believe it's February?), and it was great to have so many good friends together in one spot.

Happy Hollow Petting Zoo

We took Spencer down to San Jose for his first trip to a petting zoo, meeting up with Theo and Gaby for an afternoon of petting goats and watching parrots (which Spencer insisted were "ducks.")



The highlight of the day may have been lunch in nearby Little Saigon--- fantastic Vietnamese sandwiches on hot French baguettes washed down with yummy smoothies. The low-light of the day was certainly Spencer's open-mouthed faceplant into the dung-covered dirt in the petting zoo, neccesitating a rushed trip to the bathroom for a mouth washing. But overall, the kids did great with the animals!

Meeting Fiona

Spencer and Eunice finally had a chance to meet precious Fiona, Faith and Erick's daughter, who was born just under four pounds on 11/18/07. Faith and Fiona seem to be thriving in their new life together...
