Flyin Part 2

This pic makes it look like I'm wearing a toupe. It's a decent look I'm considering it...

So two weeks ago Huelan and I took a long weekend and flew down to SoCal for Jonathan's graduation from Cal St. Fullerton. Contrary to the stories I've heard, he said it was pretty easy to knock out in four years, no summer school or anything. We're super proud of him, and he even managed to lock down a job at Yamaha in the Motorsports division, just 5 miles from home!

Given the hot weather, even by OC standards, my mom prohibited Huelan from going to the ceremony. She heard that some kids and senior citizens fainted the day before, so we got nixed. So we took the morning and went to the beach and shared a milkshake at In-N-Out. Not a bad consolation.  

More pics from that weekend here:

Mothers' Day

The top collage is two recent pics of Ba Noi juxtaposed with a pic of her well before she was Ba Noi, taken in Hong Kong during our six-month residence in a refugee camp there, when I was still an only child. 

Fast forward about 36 years and here we are, feeding Vansen his first pho noodles at a Vietnamese restaurant in Oakland. Whood-a-thunk?

(Not-at-all-surprising fact of the day: he loved his pho and couldn't get enough.)

Looks Like

When Huelan was born, the second thing I said to Liz was that she looks like me. An apology of sorts. Though it's very early still, I think this looks like Mama. Especially this pic:

Haha, sorry I can't resist a cheap laugh!
