Cameron Lo

Happy Halloween! Cameron’s a cheeky monkey this year! Some of you loyal followers of Darren’s website may remember this costume from couple years ago when Darren was around Cameron’s age. This is actually my favorite costume of all the ones we have collected so far–the others being penguin, bumble bee, dinosaur, spider, and a very hungry caterpillar.

Cameron wasn’t walking yet last Halloween since he was only 10 months old—in fact, he was pretty much just stuck in the baby stroller last year on Halloween night. But this year he got to enjoy Halloween’s finest tradition—trick-or-treating! We tried to teach him to say the magic words over dinner before we headed out, but it was just easier for Darren to help him say it in the face of strangers. As it turns out, Cameron scares pretty easily—when he saw a particularly well-decorated house, he’d much rather stay close in the arms of Mom and Dad rather than march into billowing smoke and giant spider webs just for candy.

As much fun as Cameron had, I think he was quite happy to be home!

What a difference a few days in NYC make! When the kids were leaving San Francisco, they were so excited and energetic. We had a little time before the flight so we entertained the boys by taking them on the AirTrain to ride around SFO:

When we were leaving NYC on an afternoon flight, the boys just crashed on the taxi ride to JFK. They slept in the terminal until we had to wake them up for the security check:

I haven’t seen them this tired for a long time!

We took Cameron and Darren to NYC for a family wedding. I was a little worried about the trip (as usual) because traveling with young kids is never easy. However, it would be wrong to deprive the kids of a very special family occasion. Michelle made sure that the kids dressed up for the special event. I must say that she did a great job as people (friends and family, passers-by, waitstaff) all uttered admiration for the cute outfits and the handsome boys.

Cameron met his cousin and the groom for the first time. The picture above was taken outside the church before the ceremony. Looks like they were getting along well. Unfortunately Cameron was not as well-behaved during the ceremony and the groom’s speech – Cameron didn’t really know what was happening and was chatting away. Yikes!

Just like everyone else, Cameron had a fun time – it was a beautiful ceremony and a great wedding!

We went to NYC for a few days. The boys got to spend a lot of time together. Darren is pretty silly when he plays with Cameron. Cameron absolutely adores Darren and follows Darren’s lead. On both occasions, we were trying to take a picture of the boys in their matching outfits (one for the rehearsal dinner and the other for the wedding itself). However, they (OK, mainly Darren) were just goofing around and we didn’t get the nice “formal” pictures we wanted.
