Our Trip to the States

March and April were pretty busy for us. We took a wonderful trip to the U.S. for a great visit with family and friends. First stop was San Fransisco for Allison and Noe's wedding, which was simply lovely.

We also had the pleasure of touring some beautiful wineries.

After San Fransisco it was off to New Jersey for a stay at Mema and Pepa's house. Kai had an amazing time with his grandparents who of course spoiled him rotten. He hasn't quite gotten down who's who and was often calling them Jiji and Baba, then they both became Baba after a while. No matter what name he gave them, one things for sure he certainly does love them.

Mema always to the rescue

Ah the hat-- somehow he always manages to find it. Some babies have special blankets or stuffed animals or binkies they need to have at all times, my kid, never one to be influenced by others it seems, has a fleece hat. I just have to laugh at this photo in particular, considering it was about 80 degrees that day.
