Catching up: Visit from the Feng-Lu cousins

It's been a busy month for us. Grandpa and Abuelia came at the end of July to celebrate Grandpa's 65th birthday and we had a family bbq the last weekend of July, together with my cousin Anita and her sons, Ethan and Alan. They were visiting from southern California and it was the boys' first trip to NY. The kids got along very well. The boys played with Ian's castle, sat on Leaf and fed him leaves, and did pretty well overall (i.e., no arguments or meltdowns).

After the bbq, the kids set up the "home theater" and watched some of Ian's dinosaur DVDs while eating grapes:

Bedtime was fun! The boys slept in Ian's room and all read books on Ian's bed before going to sleep:

So studious!

Thanks to Anita for making the trip out here and for all the great books for Ian and to Anita's mom for all the clothes for Lia! We hope you can all (that includes you, Ernest) come back to NYC soon!
