First, here’s a bonus picture of Nicky from the doctor visit series.

It’s horribly blurry on account of I’m a lousy photographer but Michelle wanted to upload it anyway because he’s so happy in it, and it’s his 100 day old picture.

天天百天了,热烈祝贺!姐姐打电话来提醒,我们就赶快给天天照了几张照片。就这张笑得好,但照得花了,朦胧也是一种美吧,哈哈。

I think he looks a little like buddha in it myself, but I’m not sure the wife agrees. 

Dave说天天笑得像个弥勒佛,你看呢?

On Monday, mommy and daddy had the day off, so we met auntie Alba, uncle Brian, and cousin Lias at Casa Machado at Montgomery Field. The restaurant is right above the terminal at the airport, and Alex had a lot of fun looking at the planes. Here he is reaching for a cool hanging model plane with mommy.

礼拜一不用上班,去见了我们的一个好朋友夫妇,他们也刚刚生了个儿子。饭店在一个私人机场的旁边,易峰每次看到飞机起飞,就用手一指说:“妈妈,看呀!”饭店里面还挂了很多飞机模型,我抱着易峰把能够到的都摸了摸,这小家伙还挺沉的。有些时候易峰缠人,我不得不抱着两个孩子,虽然是重了些,但心里觉得甜蜜蜜的。

“Get it together, Dad. You want to be taking pictures of all these neat planes, not me.”

“妈妈,看飞机!”

Let’s see how a video hosted at youtube works compared to our normal setup.


My family used to go to Casa Machado back when I was a youth, and it hasn’t changed a bit–not that that was so long ago or anything. I’m looking forward to establishing the tradition with Michelle and the kids.

Dave的小时候,他的爸爸妈妈每周末都带他和他弟弟到这个饭店去吃饭看飞机,我们也许会继续这个传统呢。

After lunch, we went to Ranch Market in Clairemont to pick up a few things.

在中国超市门前有个喷水池,易峰很喜欢,怎么拉也拉不走。

There’s this fountain out front of Ranch Market that Alex always enjoys, so we spend a little time there whenever we stop by.

目不转睛地看。很喜欢他的专注。

Hope everyone had a wonderful day off!
