Catching UP

It's my first blog entry from our mini vacay in Northern Cali. I figure out i need to start sharing them before i won't have that freebie time and before it starts to fade from my precarious forgetful mind set... brought about by old age? I hate to admit but i am feeling it terribly, so better yet concede with reality, *sigh*.

Everytime we drive up north especially in bay area, we {family} try to make things sure we get enough time to see friends and family and catch up - especially if it takes us 7-8hrs on the road to get up there anyway... might as well right.

About 2 years ago, we visited a good friend L and seems like it became the family's ritual to see them. This visit was more exciting because my family can finally meet their fun, loving, and smart baby L who happens to be growing up pretty fast. The last visit we had mommy L was barely pregnant, now the family's getting bigger in the presence of their son.

We were able to meet mommy L's Ate L too (older sister) and her baby who happens to be newborn then... and now baby N's sweet charisma for sure will allure everyone --- even my camera.

It was absolutely nice catching up with them, though cut short because of our limited time... we are still very grateful for gracing and welcoming us into their warm and humble home --- and by the way, dinner was awesome, and thank you for letting us discover "pinakurat" vinegar, it's definitely written in my next grocery list to oriental market. I am very glad to maintain that great friendship with L and family. Looking forward for another family meeting.
