Marie and the rest of the Sumino clan came up to SF for the weekend. It was so fun to spend the day with them and play with Cole just like I used to before moving up here.  Marie and Kenji look great and seem to travel rather well with two boys.

Brandon is growing quickly and he’s such an easy-going baby who smiles every time I call him name. I took them to the park across from my house, gave them the 2-second tour of our condo, and we had Dim Sum in the afternoon.

Cole is such a big boy now at 3 years of age and I couldn’t get over home much he talks now. I guess I’m still used to the little 18-month-old that ran around pulling the DVDs off my shelves. He still loves Koa and Koa actually remembered him. Once they got back to our house, Cole chased him around and fed him carrots. I guess a friendship between a boy and dog really does endure the test of time.

Here are a few photos from our afternoon.
