A Splashing Good Time

As a face is reflected in water, so a person is reflected by his heart. (Proverbs 27:19)

What a wonderful weekend that Naomi had to celebrate her 2 months/9 weeks birthday. The celebration began early on Thursday morning when Auntie Melissa Francisco came to visit us at home in Emeryville. She brought over some tasty bagels and cream cheese for Mommy and a couple of cute outfits for Mimi. Melissa and I have been friends since Junior High when we went to Washington D.C. together. Her daughter Cathleya is my God-daughter and her blog was my inspiration to start this one. Then Grandma Lily brought over some salmon chowder, chicken salad, a pannini sandwich and quesadillas for lunch/dinner. She also gave Naomi a toy cow that "moos." Mimi must really love her new present... check out the SMILE on this happy little baby:


On the 10th, Richie and I watched Transformers at Solano Drive In. Naomi fell asleep on the way there and didn't wake up until we got back home. She missed the movie but all for the best.. what a sweetheart!

The real fun began on Saturday when we carpooled with Jasmine and the girls on our way to Sacramento for cousin Alexis' first birthday. With three car seats loaded in the van, we made the hour and a half long journey. Baby Meleia wasn't used to being in another vehicle and it turns out she wet herself on the way there. Like Mimi, little Mia doesn't like being moisty down below and let us know it! We were all smiling though when we got to Tita Agnes' beautiful house in Roseville...especially when we saw the feast that was prepared and the inviting swimming pool to cool us of from the heat. I asked Dr. Tracy if it was okay for Naomi to take a dip and she gave us the go ahead. Mimi was a little shocked at how cold the water was at first, but once her body adjusted to the temperature, she enjoyed herself quite a bit!

Aileen had a lot of fun games for the kids including making mini aquariums out of glass jars. Stickers, pretty rocks and toys? I'm all over it! I couldn't help myself and made one... for Mimi, of course :) She also had pin the tail on the fish and a cool cut out of a shark. As you can see, Naomi likes goldfish, but she's not too fond of being eaten by a shark! I suppose, I wouldn't either!
