1st American Restaurant and Impromptu Gathering

On Friday night we took Grace out with us to her first American restaurant. Before traveling we often wondered how much our life would change once we had Grace home. While in China we ate out in restaurants every day so now that we are home eating out is really no big deal. Jen and I were really craving steaks and beer so we headed out to our local steak house with Grace in tow. As we expected she did great. She charmed all of the waitresses, knawed on some bread crust and didn't even fuss one bit.

Last night one of Jen's college friends, Michelle, was in town with her new daughter. Biren and Kris also came over with the twins. Kind of funny that all of the girls are within a couple months of each other in age. We coudn't miss the opportunnity to stage our own version of the red couch photo. Our couch is blue though, we do live in a blue state so I guess it is appropriate.

And of course today is my first Father's day. I have to say that I really have to be the luckiest guy in the world to be blessed with such a sweet and beautiful daughter and wife.
