After a rough day with Margaret yesterday, we were happy that she seemed fine today. In fact, she seemed fine enough to have a play session on the floor with her friend Oscar when we went to Dim Sum this morning with Oscar's family, Dickson, Lucy and Andrew.
I, on the other hand, was exhausted, having slept little last night, picked up Margaret's eye infection and still fighting off the tail end of a mild cold.
A nap after Dim Sum, however, was just what the doctor ordered and I took it. The best part?
Waking up to see SAM putting Margaret down into bed next to me, crawling into bed herself, and then observing Margaret look first to me, then to her mom, and start laughing and giggling at being in bed with us - only the second time either of SAM or I have observed her laugh.
Even at four months, she knows how to make us happy.
Saturday date night with Jack was probably one of the best date nights ever.
After a pouring rainstorm in the late afternoon cleared out the air, we all decided to do date night by taking the ferry across to Tsim Sha Tsui to take in the view.
First, we took the tram to Central which afforded us wonderful crisp views of Causeway Bay and the road to Central. Once there, we enjoyed a dinner of Japanese Ramen noodles and made it onto the ferry in time to catch the tail end of the Festival of Lights light show that Hong Kong does with several of the buildings on both sides of the harbor. The Ferry captain even slowed the ferry so that we spent a maximum amount of time on the water watching the lights on the buildings flash and dance.
After a few photos and a walk along the promenade that lines the waterfront in Tsim Sha Tsui, we hopped back on the ferry and were back home before 10.
It wasn't too long, but it didn't have to be. Jack called it a memorable night and I have to agree with him.
A most perfect way to spend the evening.

Last night was like a dream that i shall never forget. The tram ride, dinner, the ferry, the lights, and of course my peerless companions.
The smog lifted for the first time since my arrival and the this magnigicent city, which I already adore, splrkled.
This morning is overcast, but completely smog free. My view from th living room window of the harbor, convention center, and 70+ story IFC Center is sharp and crisp.
After all the rain, it may be a day for the flower show in Victoria Park, across the street!
Thanks for sharing those beautiful views of HK- and your fun date night! :-)
Margaret-so funny and cute- grinning at her buddy Oscar. With that and the description of the giggle with you and SAM, maybe she's going to be a social butterfly?!
Happy Easter! Love you.
