California "Winter"

We ditched our coats at the Christmas tree farm in Half Moon Bay. And we wore our bathing suits (well, at least Alan and I did) to go swimming the last weekend of January in Carlsbad. Yes, it's been a rough winter in California.

We did get to enjoy quite a bit of snow over the holidays in New York and Wilmington and had a blast with both Wang and Feng sides of the family. At some point, we will get around to downloading photos from our iPhones. Max is still talking about all of his cousins.

Max is now 2 years, 4 months and all-boy. Not a day goes by that he does not talk about soccer/tennis/basket/foot/baseballs or cars/diggers/loaders/mixers/trucks. If there is a Beetle, Mini Cooper, Porsche or Prius within a one-mile radius, he will spot it. If it happens to be an "invertible Poh-sha," anyone within a one-mile radius will likely hear about it, too.

We have definitely been humbled with patience and learnings in parenting these few months. While the boy can be feisty, impetuous and relentless, these "toddler moments" are fortunately balanced by Max's sweet demeanor, creative imagination and fun sense of humor.
