My mom spent the past 7 weeks here in SF and it’s hard to believe that she’s gone back to Cerritos.  She arrived a week before Kumquat’s due date and stayed until she was almost 6 weeks old.  It was so nice to have her here with me before and after Kumquat was born.  I don’t know how I would have handled the first several weeks without her help.  I also enjoyed the company and, of course, all the tasty food she cooked for us.  She even made me one last batch of peanut sauce for me this week so that I had some after she was gone.

Last night, we took her to dinner at Roy’s.  Kumquat came along too and I did my first restaurant restroom diaper change.

After dinner, I took my mom to the Giants game.  We got $10 standing room only tickets so that I could take her around the stadium.  We got a pretty good view of the game and McCovey Cove before heading back home.

Day 0

Day 40

Before dropping my mom at the airport, we spent the morning in the usual way – entertaining Kumquat. I got a photo of them together and it’s funny that my mom was wearing the same top she wore the day Kumquat was born.  Boy, has time flown and my my has my baby grown!  I think Kumquat was just as sad to see her grandma go today.

Thanks for all your help and company, Mommy!  We will all miss having you around…including Kumquat and Koa.  Love you and see you on FaceTime!
