Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween, everyone! And Happy Birthday to DiDiJiuJiu and Mommy!

Max is walking everywhere he can these days, and we went to the local supermarket to play with some big pumpkins. Last weekend, Mommy and Daddy cut and paste (with hot glue) Max's "Max" costume for Halloween. It's all about felt scraps at Joann Fabrics, people. Anyway, the week before Halloween, we went to Balmy Street in the SF mission to take photos in front of the "Max in his private boat" mural. There were some other great murals there, too. It wasn't TOO hot, and Max was a happy trooper, despite being in polar fleece in 65 degree weather.

Maxwell Turns One

Maxwell turned one year old this year on Sept 25, 2009. It was really special to have Gong Gong and Nai Nai both here to help him usher in his first birthday. We bought Max a water heater for his birthday, being the loving parents that we are. And we also bought him a house - one that he toppled over within minutes of entering. But the highlight was when Max decided to put out the candle on his cupcake with his hand, and Mommy kind of freaked out. All in all, Max had a great day. We've included some of the photos from that weekend, as well.



The following weekend, Mommy pulled together an amazing party to thank everyone out there who has helped, supported, and contributed to Maxwell's rapid growth. We could not have survived without you all. Of course, we weren't able to invite everyone who has supported Max, but we tried our darnedest. Kudos to Mommy for pulling it all off, and a huge thanks go to Nai Nai and Gong Gong, as well as to all of our friends and family who could make it, and to all of our friends and family who could not. We are so grateful for all of you, and we are grateful that Max can be surrounded by so much love and friendship. Here's to you all!

Wrestling Cousins

To the loyal fans of this little blog:

We, the Management, apologize for holding out on you guys. We've been a bit lazy about all the new things going on with Max, but here's something to (hopefully) appease you for the time being. If you've been following Cousin Lia's blog, you'll have already seen the first video (GuGu is just that good!!).

yours,
The Management

p.s. There's a lot of fun stuff from Max's birthday to come.



and here's a blast from the past:
