Where do I start? The past week has been a roller coaster for my family. My father has been hospitalized. Cancer is an ugly disease that is taking my father away from me. I wish there is something I could do, anything to make things better.

The following was the blog post that was supposed to go up before my dad got sick. I'm hoping he's feeling better and that he knows that I'm respecting his wish of loving and taking care of my own family. I'm praying for you, Pop. I love you, Mom, CJ and Victor very much.

I know my family's very tired. I'm tired too, but that's because I've been to Los Angeles three times in a little over a week.

As I was saying, here's the post that was supposed to published before my dad got sick...

Dexter's FINALLY getting a enough hair to get bed head. He's sort of going for that emo/hipster look that is en vogue nowadays.



This past Saturday, we took the ferry into San Francisco to have lunch and buy some fresh produce at the SF Farmer's market. The Bay Bridge was closed all Labor Day weekend so we ferry'd over to SF. On the ferry ride, you get a clear view of the Port of Oakland. Suzie says that when she was a kid, these cranes at the Port of Oakland remind her of the snow walkers from Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back. It's actually no surprise since George Lucas supposedly fashioned those snow walkers on these cranes.



Again, not many pictures of me in the blog so please excuse the dorkiness. We were enjoying the view of the SF Bay on the ferry.



We went out to have lunch for Labor Day. It was the last day before Suzie started her job at Bananas!



Before heading off to her first day at work, Suzie dropped the Dexican off at his new mommy, er, new daycare provider, Heather.



And last but not least, Suzie's new home away from home
