Happy (observed) Veterans’ Day!

Wow, I got to spend one more day with Mommy and Daddy than normal!  I love holidays (and that my parents both work for the government)!!  It was a great end to a wonderful weekend.  On Saturday, I went to my friend Michael’s panda-themed first birthday party.  So fun!  I loved watching Michael open his gifts and then I got to play with the left-over wrapping paper.  Personally, I thought the paper was way more fun than the truck toys that Michael got, but to each their own.

Yesterday, my daddy ran the Malibu Half Marathon, so Mommy and I went to cheer him on at the finish line.  He did so great and he didn’t even train for it!!  On another note, I certainly hope that I got my uncle Jeremy’s artistic genes and not my parents’. I was super embarrassed to hold the sign in this picture.  In defense of my mom, she was working with a cardboard box and a fine-tipped sharpie.  But still…Jeremy, save me from a life of no artistic mentoring!!

A Visit from Ong Noi and Ba Noi

We arrived home from Italy late one Sunday night, Steve went to San Diego for work that week, and then Steve’s parents arrived on Friday.  It was great having them in town.  We mostly relaxed, but we also ate a few good meals and enjoyed some time out at El Matador Beach in Malibu.  This is the Vo family photo that I took…watch out Steve, I think I might be a naturally gifted photographer!  (joking of course)
