Huntington Beach- Sat Jan 23, 2010

So I hope this doesn't get too confusing, but I'm going to attempt to "back-post" until I get caught up with my postings. I really want to include at least the latter part of 2009, while my memory still allows.  My titles will hopefully clarify any confusion with the dates. 

So, last Saturday we spent the afternoon with Tios Trujillo in Huntington Beach.  My mom mom and brother, Ernie were heading back to SD after spending the week with us.  They took the AmTrak back home.  It was a great visit and was pleasantly surprised at how good Tio Ruben looked- he totally recognized me- "Tio, se acuerda de mi?"  "SI de bolada!  Eres Ceci"  it was great!  And Tia Maria- she looked good too. Quick as a whip, as always.  Her and my mom always enjoy reminiscing about the good 'ol times.  It was nice catching up with the cousins as well.  I'm hoping now that Olivia is a little older, we're able to visit more frequently.  My favorite part of our visit was watching my Tio interact with Olivia.  It was so sweet!  He was cooing to her and talking to her in such a gentle voice- and she was just staring at him like she recognized him from "somewhere" but couldn't quite put her finger on it!
