“Mommy’s coming to see me! Mommy’s coming to see me!”
Felicia has been chanting this for the last month since her mother decided last month to come to the U.S. for her first visit. In the month leading up to the visit, Felicia had me doing just about everything imaginable, from hanging curtains and buying a new couch to scrubbing the underside of the stove because she didn’t want her mom judging her housekeeping skills. So I scrubbed and hung curtains while she cleaned everything else imaginable, then finally a couple days ago, Christina arrived and I was able to relax.
The second day she was here, we all headed off the Huntington Gardens for a leisurely afternoon of strolling around and drinking tea. Definitely not the manliest of activities, but it’s better than having to decide what type of sheer drapes would look best in each room, and whether a valence was necessary…
Anyhow, enough complaining about housework. Here are a few pictures from that afternoon, and next week we’re off for a tour of some of California’s National Parks, so more pictures will come from that soon too. Enjoy!
