Happy 10th Birthday, Alex!

Brought cupcakes to school to enjoy during snack time. Then party after school...

Party theme "Favorite Things"

Starting at home: "Hanging out with friends, snacks, gaming, ice cream and cupcakes"

Moving on to dinner out (Buono Nuobo): "Sushi, pizza, noodles"
Finally dessert (Honeymoon Dessert): "Mango"

Some parents joined us to enjoy takeout desserts and conversation at the 7/F water fountain/garden while the boys ran around and played tag. It was a great party! Thanks all for making Alex's day special.

My Dad at age 10

Toward the end of summer, we flew to the East Coast for my cousin's wedding. I don't remember going to Long Island as a kid, so we spent a few days based in Port Jefferson visiting Mom's friends and then to NJ for the wedding before driving back to the city for a few more days. During that time we had a little memorial for my Dad and buried a small urn of his ashes near his parents. After "visiting" other relatives at the cemetery, we all headed to Chinatown for lunch in his honor. My dad - he made an impression on a great number of people. He will live on in our memories.

You may notice from the photos that enjoyed lots of frozen treats - ice cream and lemon ice as well as lots of yummy food in great company during our week there.
