Fun times - Nana visit

Nana is here, so that is awesome.  We've been doing cool stuff all weekend- we got to visit with Anne Cox on Saturday, and enjoy a nice meal on the waterfront together on Friday night. 

On Sunday, we went to church, and once again, the entire CS community is very excited to see Nana, and have the possibility of welcoming her into their community.  After church, Nana wanted to see a bit more of Bothell, so we walked into downtown, and then to the Chateau Bothell (where she will do her second visit).  The church is about 5 blocks from the Chateau, and would be a lovely walk anyday there isn't snow. 

While we were having a lovely adventure, Matt was down south trying his first mountain bike race of the season.  He came in 7th, which is pretty great, considering his starting position.  I think he'll be motivated to continue with the series and hope for improvement.

After some naps and a Skype with Austin (OMG- Have you seen Tyler- he is SOO cute!), we all put on some pink colors and went to the Din Tai Fung- a fancy dumpling place, with Shaoshu.  Shaoshu hates Valentine's day, so of course, I am making him celebrate it a couple times this year.  He brought flowers for us ladies, and we got to play around with his new SLR, posing for pictures in front of the Chihuly glass that decorates the fancy mall where the restaurant was.  Oh, and we stuffed ourselves with Chinese food- and can I point out that Nana was a champ with the chopsticks?  It was a really fun evening.

Monday morning, I took Nana to her first visit- this one in Kirkland.  Several friendly residents were chatting with us at lunch, so I am sure Nana got to meet some more people when I left.  We'll see what she has to say by next week when she has done two trial stays
