Happy Mother's Day

To avoid traffic, we celebrated Mother's Day on Saturday. Auntie M, DD and I drove to Napa to meet Grandma and Grandpa for lunch at the Pacific Blues Cafe in Yountville. The menu selection was great for lunch. We ordered a burger, Mahi Mahi, chicken linguine and ribs. After lunch we went on one of our favorite pastime activities: looking at model homes for the decorations and design. These homes have a nice view overlooking the hills and valleys and the interior designs were tasteful (never mind the price tag.:) You can check out the pictures of the model homes here. After a quick stop at the Napa outlet, we drove back to Sac and have a nice short nap.

DD and I then met up with baby H and his parents for dinner at Taro's at 6:30. DD had fun playing with baby H and watching the fish in the fish tank next to our table. We ordered our usual favorite dishes. Uncle D and Auntie A just returned from a two-week visit to Hong Kong. They really missed the many helps from family (& their maids:) while in HK and of course the food!

DD loved seeing Grandpa, Grandma and Auntie M. So much so that after dinner when we drove next to an SUV, DD kept pointing at the driver and called "GRANDMA! GRANDMA". I took a quick look and it was really a guy wearing glasses who looked like grandpa (for some reason DD kept calling grandpa as grandma!) DD started throwing a tantrum when I drove pass the SUV instead of following it into Bel Air's parking lot! DD would not stop screaming Grandma until we pulled into out garage. Thank goodness, we were not that far from home!

We had a great early Mother's Day celebration! BTW, daddy is all lonely and "sad" in Paris this weekend while we are having fun...(hahahaha...NOT!) Daddy is lucky that mommy had been to Paris twice before, or he will never hear the end of mommy's complaint until the end of the day!

Today is also a special anniversary for me. May 09, 2006 was the day when I first read a Taiwanese news article about DD and decided to try to adopt him. Looking back, that was the best decision I had made, on par with the decision to marry daddy, in my life!
