Memorial Day Weekend

We just got back from visiting our family and friends in L.A. As much as I miss everyone, I certainly do not miss L.A. Traffic was horrible as usual and the sky was grey with smog. At least the weather was nice.

When we arrived, we visited my sister Rachel’s work at Bon Apetite magazine. Then we headed over to my cousin, Esther’s house and got to meet her baby boy who was only a few weeks old. Jacob is adorable!

We finally got to meet Paul’s niece, Maia. We haven’t met her since she was born a year ago. She is just so adorable. We can’t believe how big Ethan is now -- he just turned 5. It was great to be able to spend some time with them. We also got to see Paul’s other nephew, Archer’s hockey game.
Rachel was excited for us to meet her baby - 2 year old Beagle/Italian Greyhound, April who was really excited to meet us.

I have to admit I use to be a dog person but I find myself preferring cats these days. April is really cute but way hyper. Rachel says she’s only like that with new people. However, I can see it will be a lot harder to take care of a baby with a dog in the house. Dogs require just as much attention as a baby so it’s like taking care of 2 kids.

It was a nice visit since we don’t know when we’ll be back in L.A. after the baby is here.
