I got to post a lot of entries last weekend for one simple reason: I had the house to myself! I think there was one Thanksgiving back in college where my roommates all left and I stayed there, but that was probably the last time I've had so much down time. It was great! I could get so much done! I didn't, but it was nice to know I had the option.
Anyway, my "roommates" left for several days to go visit Kevin's grandmother in Taiwan. Her health is not very good these days, and since it's such a (relatively) short distance away, we wanted to visit her as soon and as often as possible. I would love to have gone, but it's not exactly a good time for me (all 1.5 of us) to fly. So Kevin and Penny went to Taiwan, and I stayed here.
I really should make Kevin write his own post about his trip, but for now, here are a few pictures.
Kevin, Penny, and Ah-ma:

Penny playing with Ah-ma. Apparently Penny was a little apprehensive of Ah-ma (well, her A-tso)-- wouldn't let her hold or touch her. But she would play in the same room and make Ah-ma happy.


Penny is coloring and playing with Uncle Ron:

And here are Penny, Kevin, Uncle Ron, and Auntie Su-chim:

She is looking so big, so tall. Also, she looks nothing like you :) she is looking so Chinese. Which is gorgeous.
How long does it take to fly to Taiwan from where you are?
How nice to have family “relatively” close! Penny is growing up so fast. Her cuteness is so cute that I just want to squeeze my monitor.
Melanie-- I think it was a 2-3 hour flight. If that was in the US, you wouldn't consider it close, but then again, it wouldn't keep you from visiting if there was a special occasion. So, yeah, relatively close. Ha ha. :)
Bethanie-- Squeeze away! However, I think the real thing might be a bit squishier. Especially her cheeks!
I best Atso loved all the time she had with Penny! Momo said, "Mom is that Didi with Atso?" Penny and Didi really are super cute and squishy!
How wonderful for you to get some "Mother Alone Time" (as Logan calls it) before #2 comes!
