We are living like the modern Chinese family with a bunch of doting grandparents, mum and dad, and then, at the centre of their universe: baby.Today Ahmed's parents arrived from Toronto. Nana Prue looked after Maya all day, while Ahmed and I went for a day out in San Diego. Another trip to Hillcrest, and this time we had some precious free time in a bookshop. Our idea of bliss.
Their flight was delayed by several hours, so we explored San Diego waterfront. Then we faced a rare queue going back into Mexico of about an hour sitting in a slow-moving line. Weird, usually the border crossing in that direction is straight through, without even a passport check. So we were away for a few hours longer than anticipated and it didn't feel good! We were both anxious to get back to our little universe, our sweet pea, our punky baby.
So our place is full, with three grandparents in the house. It's lovely to have such a supportive family, who have flown from around the world to be with us and meet their newest grandchild. We feel blessed.
