November 2015 with San San

11/3/15 Paw taught Cadence how to eat dragon eyes – just eat the white fruit! Don’t eat the seed/rock in the middle! Cadence liked it so much that Paw peeled 20+ dragon eyes for her!

 

11/4/15 Cadence turns three! Didn’t even plan the timing of that kiss

11/15/15 Cadence’s first mooncake! She had red bean and really liked it. She said that it was kinda like chocolate, but different. We split one in the car and then her dad gave her some more of his!

IMG_1941 IMG_1942 IMG_1943 IMG_1944 IMG_1945 IMG_1946

10/11/15 Asked Adam again to take a picture of the Inside Out crew’s halloween costumes, but instead got too many shots of nothing. As a Chin, I feel compelled to share the incredulity from scrolling through these photos with all of you! When I asked Adam about them, he said that he got bored and took a bunch of shots of Uncle Owkie.
