Audrey & George

Did I tell you all that the lovely Kate had her second baby. And it was a girl, Audrey!! I’m so happy for her and also happy that we’ll have some girliness when we take our brood on vacation. I gave her 7 weeks post birth and then decided I needed to go meet this little girl for myself. 
I took off after work on Friday and not only did I get to read a whole book on the flight, they ‘upgraded’ me to the first row (basically first class for Cebu Pacific Air) and I even had the whole row to myself. Not a bad way to start my trip. To top it off my flight was a mere 20 minutes late, another Cebu Pacific miracle. 

The trip started with some delicious dumplings for dinner. The net morning I was pretty excited to see George and Audrey!  It’s such an amazing thing to have friends whose kids you love so much. But it’s also pretty easy when they’re this cute.

After some early morning cuddles, Kate and I left the kids at home and went to Zuma for a fun champagne brunch. The food was amazing and the company was even better!

Lunch was followed by some fun shopping, back home for more baby cuddles and a yummy steak dinner at home followed by a girly movie. Pretty much the perfect day for me!

The next morning we headed down to the beach with the kids for brunch. Just when I think I can’t love Hong Kong anymore I go somewhere new and realize how amazing a town it is. This little area was like a mini Asian California boardwalk to hang out on. I even got to capture a smile on this one!

We had a little time before my flight and I got to take some pictures of Audrey, George and Kate. It’s pretty hard to get a bad shot of these three.  I love that Kate is as into photo shoots as I am. It reminds of when I was 13 and in Greece and we would pretend to be ‘foto modelas’ as the Greeks would say, except with babies. 

And after 10 years of being friends, Kate and I finally took a good photo together! This one is a framer people! (ps- Kate, can you believe it’s been 10 years!!??)

And of course here are the boys having the best time with daddy back in Manila.

One last story to leave you with. I decided to get the boys a new snow globe after the DC snow globe disaster. Adam snuck into my room in the morning and got into bed next to me. He waited for me to wake up and then asked me if he could have his present. He then told me he wanted to guess what it was, and guessed it was a snow globe! I was pretty freaked out for a minute that he was psychic, until I realized that he had looked in my bag.

He was so excited to get a snow globe! As was Malcolm, except that about 2 minutes getting their snow globes, Malcolm cracked his into Adam’s at full force, but only Malcolm’s broke. Adam’s is miraculously still not broken. Can someone please remind me to just get Malcolm a plastic snow globe next time? .
