A week was spent in San Jose up with my in-laws and their larger-than-ginormous family. The occasion was not a happy one, but everyone made the most of it and the comfort of family. Mary Lois Moriarty (Jen called her Grama ) left us on February 18th, 2010 and she will be sorely missed. She …
So a lot of things have happened since the last post… and even before then. Microsoft PDC (Professional Developers Conference) was last November, and I was fortunate to be able to go with a few other CygNet employees. Christmas was crazy, shuffling back and forth between families plus a sick kid ridden with two ear …
It’s funny how fast he’s growing. I know, it’s only been a month but it seems like he’s changing so fast! He can smile on purpose now, he’s a master kicker and of course, he’s got lungs on him that let the screaming go on for days. He looks around a lot more nowadays and …
There is a new addition to the youngest Pong family! Kai Choi Pong was born on Friday, April 17th at 8:44am after a 12-hour labor. He was delivered into this world at French Medical Hospital in San Luis Obispo, CA. Jen’s water broke around 8:30PM on Thursday, April 16th and after a quick call …
Jen and I went out by the golf course and took some pics – trees with shade are a definite plus! The preggo belly is definitely getting to be large – growing a little Pongie looks like hard work! There was a single flash camera left on full power, about 45 degrees.
Mom and Dad came down to visit this weekend, and they brought/cooked a TON of food! Yay! Nothing like comfort food to help you along while your wife is pregnant… that doesn’t sound right. Jen wanted a pic of us before the baby came since we most likely won’t have a chance to see my …
We drove up to Prunedale today and met Mom and Dad, then caravan’ed to San Jose – dropped the truck off at Mike and Mary’s, and then met Gene and Kristine for lunch. Had a little coffee afterwards then headed back home. Quick little day trip, but it was enjoyable nonetheless.
Stopped in Santa Barbara for the CygNet dinner party. It was good, drunken times. Well… not for me, I ran around and took pictures of everything. And they let me! Here, Chris Smith took the camera from me. I am flanked by Mike and Chris here (from left to right). Good times, good times… …
Took a nice trip up to Tahoe for a snowboarding weekend. Marcia was gracious enough to let us use the cabin, so we all had a nicely affordable place to stay. We had a bit of a conversation trying to figure out who was going to get chains, if anyone had 4WD, etc. when …
Mike and Mary treated us all to a nice relaxing weekend at the Carmel Valley Lodge, the same place that we had a nice weekend a couple years ago. Its out in Carmel Valley (obviously) and is close to a nice tiny downtown area, a lot of restaurants, and even more wineries. Monterey County has some …
