The past couple of weeks have been pretty chill, just a lot of lounging at the house and the beach. Khloe Mai and Geanie have both been battling colds and hopefully they are on the tail end of them now. KM has been frothing at the mouth for the past couple of weeks and on tax day, April 15th, her first tooth came in! Two days later her second tooth came in and she's been gnawing on everything! She received her 6month shots (three of them) and did really well with Dr Grayson and the nurse.
Khloe Mai has turned into a little grab and bite machine so I thought it was appropriate to put my lucha libre mask on her and teach her some wrestling moves in her Jumperoo. She also got to practice wrestling the other night with Ellie the Elephant that she received from my highschool buddy Tim Criswell and his girlfriend Jenna. We leave for Kona in less than a week so we're pretty stoked to relax with my mom and siblings.

Easter!
Easter Sunday was a good time, it was Khloe Mai's first Easter and we had a pretty fun day with her. We had both O'Day families, the Cabrals and the Czyszczons over for brunch in the morning. Basically we had a full house, 10 adults, 5 kids 2 and under one in the oven. After cooking a ton of bacon and drinking a few mimosas and Moscow Mules we all had a nice brunch with the kids. It was a pretty nice and sunny day, perfect for drinks in the yard! Kelly and Becky hid eggs in the backyard and it was fun watching Liam and Riley go hunting for the eggs. It took them a while to understand that there were multiple eggs in the yard that they could get instead of just the first one they saw.
Marley, Isabella and Khloe Mai did well, pretty much just watched their moms and dads try to entertain them, which is pretty entertaining in itself!
After much eating, drinking, diaper changing and chasing kids we finally emptied the house and relaxed for 30 min, then we headed over to the Weedman's house for Easter dinner. The Weedmans are pretty much like our extended family here in Carlsbad and it was nice to share a meal with the boys and family. Giang and Scott had a good time holding KM and the boys are so good with her. I think Cristina also might be in the forefront as babysitter #1, plus it helps that they're just down the road from us.
All in all, KM did awesome for the day of activities and Geanie and I had a good time with friends catching up and sharing some good laughs.

Brunch with the Victors
My old college/fraternity buddy Brian Victor was in town from Seattle this weekend visiting his younger brother Cody at USD. We had a chance to meet up with him, Cody and our other college buddy James Walters at the Broken Yolk in PB. It was good to catch up and let him know how parenting is. He's busy at UW pursuing his masters and PHD in nuclear fusion, he thinks he's pretty smart, just kidding, I know he's pretty smart! His wife Sakkiko didn't get a chance to come down but hopefully we'll get to meet soon.

Delivering Liam's gift
We were finally able to deliver Liam's gift! After my indoor game at the Mission Valley YMCA we headed up to the O'Day's (Ryan, Becky and Liam) and spent some time playing with Liam and changing diapers. It was pretty cool to see how Liam interacted with Khloe Mai and he was really nice in making sure she always had toys to play with. Liam was pretty fun to watch while he was opening his gift; he's so meticulous and well mannered that he took it apart piece by piece and in the end had more interest in the box than the clothes. I think I would too at his age, who needs clothes when you're two anyways?
After saying bye and Liam shouting "Tuna" (his new favortie word) we headed down to Del Mar and met up with the Meeuwsens (Brad, Vickie and Jonas), and Karyn and Lisa. Jonas was eating everything, I think he almost ate a whole banana! After watching Jonas dance with the umbrella pole for a while we all had enough sun for the day and packed up. Lucky for Brad and I we had the pleasure of getting the cars that were 100 blocks away, actually about 4 blocks. While going to get the cars though we saw a crazy accident scene off of the north west corner of PCH and 15th street. A Land Rover had jumped the curb and drove over a railing and literally did a 50/50 grind down a cement barrier into a hotel courtyard below. Luckily no one was seriously hurt. That pretty summed up the weekend, glad to be in one piece!
