My parents came to visit this weekend, arriving on Saturday morning; they have been welcome guests, as usual. They've been helping me cook and clean and, of course, baby sit. I have to get back to reality and start studying soon, but it's been a nice break from such stressful weekdays.

A dejected Gabriel...guess why?
That's right...I WON TRIVIAL PURSUIT! That never happens, and I just snuck by him at the end. Yee ha!
After yard sale-in' on Saturday morning, we ended up at J & J's flea market, right outside of Athens. It claims to be the largest flea market in GA. I'm not sure if that's really the case, but it seems likely, b/c it was pretty huge. We didn't get much stuff, but it was really fun to look at everything, even though there was a fair share of crap being sold.
I was relieved not to see too many puppies for sale. People who make their living by continuously breeding dogs really make me sick. I tried to find some kids' DVDs in Spanish for Cyrus, but they only had adult stuff. There were so many Latinos there, I was surprised not to find something, but I'll keep looking.
Since the flea market was on the way from the highway to our house, my parents stopped by to meet us there. I think they were really just wanting to see Cyrus.
Finally, they could get their Cyrus-fix.
Cyrus' new-found love of grabbing faces manifested itself to an even greater degree when he spied my dad's beard. (His all camo outfit is courtesy of Pap Pap--G's dad). ;)
"Gimme that beard!"
No matter how much it hurt, my dad wouldn't pull away.
Of course, my mom made us a delicious dinner. Here she is washing and chopping the kale. It's such a huge volume when it's raw, but it cooks down quite a lot once it's in the pot.
Meanwhile, Baba joon's beard and mustache were the toy-of-the-hour once again.
So much fun!
This reminds me of when I was a kid.

Isn't it amazing how much change, joy and heart a baby brings? It's almost as if you were in a different world before he came.
