Bryan Kenzo Banamba made his very dramatic entry into this world one week ago... and although I had been by to see him, this was his first time to come visit us and meet the whole family. :) He is absolutely adorable, and I can not believe I didn't think to get a picture of him with the girls! Oh, I will though. Here is Aubrey with his beloved Suzanne...
We also got to finally meet Bernard, or as Jaden affectionately calls him, "the husband". When Suzy stayed with us last year, Bernard would always be on her computer live, in real time, and when you went in he could see you and you could see him and talk to him. (Yes, I am that far behind in the computer world that this still fascinates me.) So, Jaden would always burst in there and have conversations with "the husband" which always cracked me up because Bernard has a very thick French accent, but Jaden doesn't seem to notice. They made big plans for Jaden to go to Tokyo someday and play with all of Bernards toys (can you tell who came up with the plan??) It was hysterical, because when they met today, Jaden totally remembered all of that from last year and was bringing things up that they had discussed. His little memory amazes me. Anyway, Bernard and Livie hit it off, and we had a wonderful time hanging out with him.
The new mom looking amazing and doing so well. Bryan looks just like her. :)
Apparently, Economics are universal and a financial guy from Bakersfield still has much to talk about with a financial guy from Tokyo. Economics bore me in any language, but I was the odd-girl-out, because Suzy is a "financial gal" too... they all have fun comparing notes. It was so wonderful to spend some time with our dear friends, poor Bernard only has one more week before returning to Japan, and Suzy only has one more week, as Bernard called it, of "vacation". :) You should have seen the look on her face when he said that! No, she is returning to school during the day for one and possibly two more quarters. We will sure miss her when she goes home (Bryan too)!
