We are crazy about this adorable boy!

First trip to New Mexico

A few weeks ago we took a trip to New Mexico. It was a wonderful to see family and friends.  It is the best time of year.. to smell the green chili roasting, feel the crisp fall air and celebrate Fiestas. We were so excited to take Mateo to the pet parade and hope to make it a tradition.  This was the first time that Mateo met his Grandpa Henry, Grandma Sally and Uncle Tommy. He loved them all!  We all were together for Tommy's birthday.

Reading a new book

We brought Grandma over to the San Francisco Ferry Building farmer's market. Mateo got to hang out with Mitch and Meryl who are great family friends from the Philippines. Now they live just across the bay. Jenny and Mateo enjoyed a book later that evening. The angle makes Mateo's hand look giant.
