I Suck At Hanging Out With My Sister-in-Law

On Saturday, Karen and I took our baby daughter (Briana) out for a little visit with her Auntie (Janine). Now, I suck at hanging out with my sister-in-law. I haven't seen Janine and PJ since their trip to Las Vegas. I think Karen was looking forward to seeing Janine as she hasn't really had the chance to hang out with her in awhile.

Needless to say, it was a good visit. For a while, Briana would cry uncontrollably while at Janine and PJ's. I really do not know why she would burst into tears. I always joked that Briana saw the previous owner of the house (Helen) who has long passed away. It may be the unfamiliarity of the place for Briana. Who knows? But, it was somewhat disheartening (and probably for Janine and PJ as well) to have Briana cry all the time while with members of her family.

Briana, however, seems to have gotten better. She was all smiles particular with her uncle PJ. Of course, her happy state may have been due to the fact that PJ fed her frosting. Nevertheless, she was remarkably happy. No tears. That was a relief. Perhaps Karen's plan to get Briana more familiar with her aunt and uncle is working.

Granted, we did not really stay that long at Janine and PJ's. We stayed long enough for me to do some Tech Support while Janine, PJ, and Janine's BFF (Gretchen) played with Briana. Being the token Asian guy in the family, my duties in the family surround computers. In this case, the computer task was fairly easy: transfer files and update iTunes.

Before leaving for Las Vegas, PJ and Janine asked if I could convert their DVD movies into a file that could be played on their iPod. I had converted all of them. The problem, of course, was transferring the newly created files from my computer to theirs. What ultimately happened was that I had only enough disc space to transfer 3 of the 4 movies before their trip. Thus, on Saturday I transferred the remaining movie from my computer to theirs (after their trip).

Anyway, like I said, it was a good time on Saturday.
