Halloween Prep: make costume

Christian
7 days ago

Today, Christian and mama went to buy fabric in downtown.

Christian was into the fabric and examined all the fabric very carefully before choosing his costume.

After all the business was done, he did a little exploring/exercising between the rows and rows of fabric.

Who knew fabric shopping was this fun and strenous?!

I don't have any pics, but Lucia has been diaper-free (except during sleep) for a whole week without any accidents!! Actually, she's been wanting to wear her big girl panties to sleep, so we've been putting her diaper over them, but she's kept dry during nap and night time also! Now, it's time to get her a big girl bed. Don't even ask where she's been sleeping!

Sarvi + Aaron = ?

Sorry to go out of order here, but I can't let a certain dinner slip by. Before we went to Hawaii, Mommy and Daddy and I invited Auntie Sarvi and Uncle Aaron over for dinner.

In addition, we invited Lucia and Margot since Sarvi follows their blogs. Pryor also showed up, taking a break from deadlines with Daddy. We had--what else?--macaroni and cheese with yummy appetizers and delicious desserts brought by our guests.

Here's Margot.

And Lucia.

Sarvi and Aaron are going to be excellent parents, and I can't wait to meet their little girl.

Our final day in SD, we had a sleepover at Jack and Oliver's house.

This is the first time Christian had spent so much time with two older boys and he loved it!

He especially loved following Jack around.

Big kids have great toys, like a stuffed animal tent!

Big Christian also had the largest collection of Hot Wheels this side of the universe. For sure a hit with baby Christian!
Big C even gave little C two cars as parting gifts!

While in La Jolla, we visited the Salk Institute, an awesome building designed by Louis Kahn. Christian really liked it too.

Christian especially liked the irrigation device cover!!

We need to buy some of these from Home Depot I guess for our house.

We did walk through the buildings which were very timeless and beautiful.

followed by more "WHOA's"

Time was spent waiting for the next one.

And walking the tracks.

Of course, the station had cool things for the parent folks too, beautiful Richard Serra sculptures for Christian to run around in.

The Chan Clan recently took a vacation to a land far and away! San Diego!
Woo Hoo!

Here is what Christian thought of it at first...

drive down

Well, it is a two hour drive... or a three hour drive if you drive really slow like we did.

We stayed at the La Estancia which is like staying in the middle of a park.
