Alice

IMG_2462On Sunday, I took some portraits of little Alice.  DSC_3768I caught this one while she was napping.

DSC_3772When she woke up, Joy handed her over to me and started out a little fussy.  Then I got her in the zone and she was able to hang out on the dining table for a quick photo shoot.  Here’s what I got in just 10 minutes.

48 hours in SoCal

IMG_6907On Saturday morning, I flew down to Cerritos.  It was really weird flying solo.  It was so easy and I actually got some reading done.  I arrived at Long Beach Airport, which had just gone through a big renovation.  I love flying through that airport because it’s so close to the Magical House and they let us deplane from the back.

IMG_6906Before heading over to the Buena Park house, we stopped at a local Target.  Apparently there was a special deal that involved Target taking old iPads in exchange for a $200 gift card.  Initially I thought the transaction wouldn’t go through because the lady couldn’t get the register open.  Fortunately for us, she found a bunch of the trade-in cards in another cabinet.  Score!

IMG_8827In the evening, there was a reception at the Hyatt in Garden Grove.  They had a full Chinese banquet and it took FOREVER for all the food to come.  We were there pretty late that night and Kumquat held it together as well as she could.

IMG_6990On Sunday morning, we went to the Magical House and met up with Brother, Joy, and the Chamkasems.  My mom ordered a bunch of Thai food and we had such a feast!

IMG_6989The best part of the day was meeting my little niece Alice!!  She is so cute and it was interesting to see Kumquat’s response to meeting her.

IMG_7004It seemed like she had no idea who or what she was but she was also showing a little jealousy.  Then again, she was a little grouchy and clingy that morning already.
