Last week, Ella was on spring break and she had a great treat in the middle of the week. Grandma and papa came to town for an opthalmology conference and Ella stayed with them for a few nights at the St. Regis. The four of us went to a fantastic baseball game on Friday night and there were beautiful fireworks at the end. Sunny and I spent a beautiful anniversary day riding bikes, going to see 42 and having a wonderful dinner. Thank you grandma and papa for being with Ella all day and night. We loved having you in SF. Can’t wait for the end of June. Love you guys.
