Surprise! It's Nana and Papa!

We chose to not tell the girls this time that Nana and Papa were coming to visit. We instead told Anna we had to go to the airport to pick up a package. At first she believe Katie and me, but not for long. She started asking us if we could wait to pick up Nana and Papa. No matter what we told her, she was pretty sure Nana and Papa were her "package." I said, "Have I been saying 4 more days! 3 more days! Tomorrow we get Nana and Papa?" And she would say, "no. but I still think they are coming!" She is a smart cookie! I took a little video of when she saw them!

Baby Sitting Mayley

Our really good friends asked us to watch their little girl, Mayley, while they went on a trip. We are having a great time with her and our girls are enjoying have another "sister" in the house. My parents came on the second day of watching Mayley, and she just LOVES Papa! She likes Nana too, but she is attached to Papa!



Anna has been a really big helper!


The girls had a lot of fun helping make pancakes!


And they really enjoyed eating them!!

More Graduation

 

 

 

 

Master of Science, Electrical and Computer Engineering

This morning we celebrated Kris's graduation from the Master's program at University of California, San Diego (UCSD). Although he officially graduated in December and has been working on his PhD. since January, UCSD only has one commencement a year after the spring quarter. Anna and I attended the 2.5 hr ceremony and were very proud of him as his name was called and he walked across the stage. I am hoping to take more formal looking pictures this week before he returns his cap and gown, but we thought we would share some of the pictures and video from today. He still has a lot of work and a few years until he is completely finished, but it was very meaningful to celebrate this milestone with him today.
