San Francisco

Michael presented research at a conference in San Francisco last weekend. Lolo bravely agreed to watch Gabi and Bella for me so the baby and I could tag along with Michael.

I had a wonderful first trip to California, and the big sisters enjoyed time with Lolo and sleepovers with friends Kathryn and Lindsey.

I returned so well-rested, patient, and attentive to the kids that Michael said he ought to take me to San Francisco every weekend. I agree!

  1. Those are great pictures of you and Kati in San Francisco. Looked like fun. Glad to see you roaming around everywhere. That girl looks so calm and happy everywhere she went. I liked that picture of hers with those kids in Chinatown. Just like her with her sisters just being part of the crew --- enjoying Gabi reading to Bella and her. I love these moments

  2. So glad you had a nice trip and were able to recharge and rest! I agree with Lolo, the pic with her and the statue is a riot - she fits right in! Kudos to Lolo for taking on a challenge I'm sure he'd accept with open arms at anytime. :) Happy you saw Tita Gigit and made it to Alcatraz. Hope Macu had a bit of fun too!
