Family Affairs

My cousin Huong from Germany brought his family and marzipan to visit us on Labor Day weekend, so we took the opportunity to show off our son and our house. Westley did not seem to mind the four languages (English, Chinese, German, Vietnamese) exchanged at lunch, but he was less interactive with the other older kids at my research chair’s potluck the next day. We skipped naptime on Monday for a full day of outlet shopping in Vacaville, filling on diner food at Mel’s for lunch. Westley was more preoccupied with his yellow cardboard convertible than the grilled cheese inside it. Afterwards, we watched Ellie finish her tennis lesson before joining our in-laws to test out their new grill. Last week, we took advantage of childcare coverage to try out Gen Korean BBQ. The poor ventilation and uncomfortable fullness left me exhausted, and we recovered with a stroll through the mall to 85C Bakery for some goodies to bring home. My parents arrived this weekend just in time before my trip to London. We revisited the Farmer’s Market, 99 Ranch, and Asian Pearl to get them back up to speed as they prepare to help care for Westley for the next few weeks.
