This morning, Kumquat and I made an impromptu trip down to San Jose to see the Chammys. Pish and the family flew up for July 4th and Ishya and Billy came over too. I was also there in time for lunch, which was my aunt’s home cooking. Awesome.
Ishya and Billy didn’t bring the twins but Katie and Kyle got to hang out with Kumquat for a bit.
It was nice to just hang out in my uncle’s house for the afternoon and catch up with the family. Wish I could do it more often.
Last Friday, it was announced that Jes got a promotion at work! He’s worked especially hard this past year and all the around-the-clock meetings paid off! So, last night we celebrated by going out to dinner and took a really nice bottle of wine to Hillstone where they don’t charge a corkage fee. Yay! We used to get wine shipments from Far Niente and Nickel & Nickel but stopped last year when I got pregnant. Now we have a bunch of nice bottles stored up and finally opened this bottle from 2007. It was so yummy and was a perfect compliment to my prime rib!
Also, congratulations to Jimmy, who also got promoted!! Yay!
On July 4th, we went to the Bangs’ for a BBQ. When we arrived, it was swimming with kids. On the grassy area, there was a blanket laid out with 3 babies seated with their respective parent and there were at least 3 toddlers (including our host, Rowan) wandering around the patio area. Then there was Jack, the leader of the bunch playing bocce with his dad. I was so overwhelmed and still felt a little out of place even-though we had an infant there too.
Kumquat hung out on our laps and watched the kids around her.
It was also fun to watch Jack and Reese playing and Jes was even involved in some of the rowdiness.
After we left, we realized that we actually had enough time to pack up the baby and head out to Aquatic Park for some fireworks. We caught the shuttle bus at the Caltrain station and then walked about a mile to the viewing area.
Made it with about 10 minutes to spare and got a pretty decent view. Kumquat hung out in the front carrier and slept through the whole journey over and the fireworks show. 
We also walked the 3 miles home with a huge crowd of people and cars everywhere. There was a full moon too.
On our way home, we stopped for pizza. Despite all the activity and noise, our little chubbawub slept through it all. She’s definitely my child.
