Mari's in the Phillipines

Mari (far right) made it safely to the Philippines! 

First meal - longanesa sausage, eggs, and rice, yum! 

Hanging out at the gate with Mari and Dr. Gabriola before they board their flight. 

End of school year, straight A sushi celebration.  Was a stressful finals exam for Mari, so happy Mari was able to finish strong! 

Breakfast date with Mark at Yutori in Palo Alto before her departure. 


Celebrating my nephew Logan's middle school graduation

Such a special ceremony with good speeches and fun lion dancers. 

Hot pot graduation dinner celebration! 

Enjoyed the NBA Championship with Michael. 

Mother's Night Out for Spanish tapas 

Popo - thanks for taking Mari out for a yummy dim sum lunch date before her departure! 

Video chat with Mari - she is so happy ... learning a LOT already about patient needs, she's even writing perscriptions (under Dr. supervision of course). And of course doing lots of shopping and eating!  

Tyler in his "jedi" robe in Japan. So happy he's having a great time.

Pickleball, Quinceanera & Boulder

Family lunch to celebrate Mark's bro and SIL's May bdays. 

DIY chirashi bowl

Followed by pickleball to work off all the sushi 

Our first Quinceanera invite for Mari's club soccer friend. Such a beautiful celebration of youth to young adulthood. Loved the family dances and symbolisms of this special milestone.   

Ethan tagged along for Mark's 3 day work trip and they had a fun father-son time. 

Pick up game at the Hub: "Wang" bros vs. (Jeremy) Lin bros 

Spontaneous TGIF hangout with our neighbors.
