Visit from the Grandparents

We had a wonderful visit from mom and dad over the weekend. We spent most of our time at the pool or hanging around the house. We did make trips to the mall and to the Downtown Aquarium. The Aquarium was rather crowded, but Megan does love the fish.

It was grandma's turn to spend hours reading to Megan. Barbie-the everything book is still the favorite (and now showing it in wear and tear). Grandma swears she says Cock-a doodle doo, moo, bow-wow-wow, and lots of other things when she reads to her. Grandpa and I weren't as sure.

Grandma and grandpa did most of the baby care duties for the weekend- which was just fine with mommy. Notice grandpa's shoes- Megan picked them out for him to wear. (Sorry I can't figure out how to rotate this picture.)

Whether popsicles or cereal- a great time was had by all at mealtime.

We tried on Megan's birthday dress briefly for grandma and grandpa.

Megan went on the carousel at the aquarium with grandma.

Here are a few more photos from out trip to the aquarium.

It was hard to say goodby, but at least this time its only for a few weeks instead of a months.

Megan's Birthday in San Francisco

We had a wonderful visit with David's parents in San Francisco. The weather was gorgeous. David's parents threw an elaborate birthday party for Megan on Saturday complete with American and Korean traditions. I can't wait to see the photos from the professional photographer. Megan spent lots of time with her halmuhni and halabuhji, and mommy and daddy got to spend some time together touring San Francisco and Carmel. We spent the night at a nice little hotel in Carmel and took in all the shops and scenery. Daddy and even managed to get in a movie during out trip.

Megan was a little shy at first but she soon warmed up to her grandparents and had a great time showing off her waving, peek-a-boo, clapping, and sign language skills. Here we are at the mall having coffee before some shopping. Mommy, daddy and halabuhji spent Friday evening blowing up 100 ballooons for Megan's Birthday party. Halmuhni was busy preparing food for the party.

Megan wore her traditional outfit for the photos and the first hour of the party, then she changed into another dress for lunch and cake. We had a chocolate orange almond cake that everyone thought was fabulous. Megan enjoyed it as well.

Aunt Seung-a was an instant favorite with Megan.
David and I escaped to Carmel with Seung-a and Michael for some adult bonding time.

This is the hotel we stayed in and the beach nearby. The water was icy cold, but after the Houston heat we didn't mind a little chill.

Megan did very well her first night away from mommy and daddy. We were sorry the visit was over so quickly.
