We had a lot of family time this weekend. It was a very warm 78 degrees this weekend in SF and perfect for having visitors.

Brother, Joy, and my dad were here for a long weekend since Thursday.  We spent a lot of time just hanging out together in our usual way…eating, napping, and making fun of each other. The dog also seemed to enjoy the company.

It’s just too bad that I’ve become the boring sister that can’t leave the house for longer than 2 hours at a time.  They still managed to make their way around the city and Oakland and they even brought back some cookies for me from Bakesale Betty.

Jes’ parents drove up late on Friday and came over on Saturday to visit their granddaughter and to also bring me a special ginger soup containing pork knuckle, lots of vinegar, and of course ginger.  It’s supposed to help me with my postpartum recovery and they were very eager for me to have some this week.  Jes’ mom had never made it before and it wasn’t bad.  It was just VERY rich since it was half collagen from the bone marrow that had cooked off.

We also had a visit from my cousin Ishya, Billy, her twins, and my uncle and aunt as well.  The house was filled with babies and I had a fun time catching up with everyone.  Joy also got a lesson on feeding a distracted 5-month-old.

I attempted to take a photo of Kumquat and the twins together but of course I have a child that will sleep through anything.  Look at her…fast asleep without a care in the world despite 7 adults making noises and faces to get their attention.
