Christmas in October!

So, the move has been held up by issues with receiving our check in the mail that will allow us to pay for this lovely home that is sitting there ready to move in.  Well, today, it FINALLY arrived!!!  It feels like we can finally breath again, and celebrate!  So after saying a huge thank you to GGMa Clarice for begin the mail keeper for us and for letting us bombard her every day for the past 3 days, we decided dinner at our fave Sushi restaurant in SF was needed.  So off we went.  But not after enjoying some much needed play time with GGma.

(of course the boys didn't sit still long enough for me to get any well focused or exposed pics with ggma, so my apologies for the poor quality of these two):

Making an important phone call

Gus had his giggles going.  It was pretty cute.  

So here is a video of Arjen using the fancy kid-friendly chopsticks they gave him at Ebisu.  My apologies this time, for the poor table manners (stuffing his face!), but hey, the kid ain't even three yet and he's eating sushi with chopsticks!!!  Oh, and don't mind Gus in the background stealing all of Arjen's edamame when he wasn't looking...

And did we mention Gus likes to eat? So much so, that after we'd all finished our orange desserts, he decided to make sure we didn't leave any bits behind...
