Sma... such an awkward auntie

Poor Nathan. I've never really taken care of babies. I don't even really know how to hold them. Sigh... at least once he's 5 I can take him to Disney for free. :)

Exhibit A: Daddy is not awkward as a grandpapa...



Exhibit B: Momma is not awkward as a grandmama...



Exhibit C: Sma not knowing what to do with Nathan but have a staring contest... no touching, no playing, just staying. Super.



Exhibit C: Sma looking so awkward, Nathan not drinking the milk...

Home sweet home? :)

Was back in Cali during the long weekend. New home.

Location... El Centro, California: I went running at 9am, MAY, and it was over 33 degrees. WTF. Keke. Purr.... had amazing food... carne asada burrito, machaca burrito... OH! And of course, California classic: In&Out Burger! Purr purr purr. Saw my char-char after so many months. He still remembers me. Ha. Really fascinating remembering how huge an influence geography plays on culture: vibrancy of culture, fashion: colour & style, homo/heterogeneity of culture...

Reflections... All moved in. Unpacked allllll my shit in 2-3 hours... Cool considering it took me about 10 hrs to pack in the first place. AIYO. So strange... seeing all my things... memories I haven't relived so vividly since last May when I was packing up to come here to Canada. So strange... its been on year. 525, 600 minutes...
