Chang is so funny! For Valentine's day, he made this dinner. It looks like a steak, huh? But its layers of rosegui and pamucheem on top. And dwenjangjeegeh on the side. So creative and good.
And yesterday, we all went out to celebrate my birthday at a nice restaurant, Vic Stewart in Walnut Creek....WITH both kids. Nice restaurants + kids is always a scary thought. Imagine Ryan and Lauren throwing a screaming fit while prim and proper dinner guests stare you down for ruining their meal (and I wouldn't blame them). I imagined this and was prepared throughout the meal to grab a screaming kid and sprint out of the restaurant at any moment. But we can all breathe a sigh of relief because this didn't happen. Ryan got to enjoy his first Shirley Temple while we kept Lauren busy munching on bread.
We especially enjoyed our peaceful drive back to Santa Clara listening to the theme song from Inception on repeat. Ryan enjoys music and likes to point out all the instruments that are playing in a song ... this is why I REALLY want to take him to a symphony. I think he will love it so I must plan this soon. And why was our drive peaceful?? Because Lauren was sleeping. Peaceful car rides are a rarity with Lauren.*Sigh*
But do you know what really made my day. Ryan's birthday card to me!! Yes, he spelled my name wrong. And why is he using my first name instead of mommy? I have no idea. But seriously, I am going to treasure this forever.
Initially, I was afraid this might have been a picture of me (haha) ... but he says this is a picture of a silly sun.

Too funny! And I'm glad to see Ryan's writing his "N" correctly :D
Awww, sounds like you had the best birthday every:) Can't wait to see you soon!!!
what a memory to treasure - I'm glad you blogged it to share with the rest of us. :)
What an awesome card he wrote you! I wonder if Chang gave him any pointers for the card content. Glad you had a peaceful birthday dinner!
Esther - I totally forgot about that time when he couldn't write his "N" until you mentioned it. I remember Tiffanie and you were there when he corrected it. Now we need you guys to visit us and help him with his writing =)
