Meeting the Lech Clan (June 30-July 3)

A few days before the fourth of July, yee-mo, Uncle Aaron, Jesh, Seth, and Mila came to visit and spend a few days with us. Elijah loved being with his yee mo, uncle, and cousins. He loved saying Mila's name. He even would call out her name while sleeping. ;)


The last time he saw them was when he was five months old when the Lee clan took a vacation in Hawaii. But, he was too young to remember them. But, this time, they are embedded in his long term memory. We had a skype session a few days ago, and it was sweet to see the huge smile on his face in seeing his cousins. It's amazing how even at this young age, he knows family. Whenever we play "airport" (which by the way is his favorite word these days), I ask him, where he is going. He answers, "Yee-mo's house, or Jesh, Seth, and Mila's house." I am so glad that he got to spend some good quality time with them.


One of the highlights was going to Griffith Park together, riding on the ponies, and the train. It was a blast!
