A visit from Dede

Michael's dad was here from Maine and we had such a great time. The trip did start off a little scary. When Tom (aka Dede) arrived he wasn't feeling well and the left side of his face went numb. We were of course worried, so we took him to the ER. Fortunately they diagnosed it with a non threatening illness. He has Bell's Palsy. I never heard of it before, but I guess it goes away and is treated with medication:). Thank God!

One night we went to an amazing Italian restaurant called Mama Mia's. Everyone speaks the language and the food is out of this world. Every time we go Michael "thinks" he is an Italian. He made friends with Francesco (the owner) and now they act like brothers! Brings back great memories from our trip.

The trip included a visit to the Midway Carrier, the car museum at Balboa Park, Coronado Island and of course the zoo (our favorite). One good thing about living in a big city is there is a lot to do!










We love spending time with Tom. Noah cried when he woke up yesterday and there was no Dede to be found. Hopefully we will be visiting him and the family in Maine next year.
