Colin & Huifen held their wedding ceremony at Grace Assembly of God. We had Macs breakfast, brought Donald for a haircut, before proceeding there.

During the entire ceremony,  we sat at the back because the kids were making such a din.  The other flower girl, Tyan, joined us.  They were throwing all the flower petals on the floor and picking them up again.  They got so excited that they ran into the aisle and started to retrieve all the [...]

Similar to what we did for Donald’s 1st birthday morning, we arranged 12 items for Toria to choose. Chinese tradition, and only done for 1st birthdays. For the fun of it, we decided to try it and to continue the tradition. For Toria, we laid a gold bar (for wealth), a thermometer (medical field), bible [...]

Mummy’s RJC classmate, Colin, is getting married!  He and wife-to-be, Huifen, asked Donald to be the ring bearer.  It is Donald’s 1st time,  so Mummy is a little worried, hopefully he will fare fine.  We didn’t need to buy the outfit for him, because Sam so kindly passed her son’s to us.  It was a [...]

Tina told me that Donald fell down in the playground today. His right knee was scrapped and bleeding, but he was very BRAVE, he didn’t cry! Tina cleaned up his wound, using alcohol swabs, he cringed but again, he didn’t cry! Several other people also commented on this “braveness” of Donald, particularly the other mummies [...]

 We were all wondering why Toria had suddenly gone quiet, and when we turned around, she had completely emptied a tissue box! She absolutely enjoyed it, and continued throwing them here, there, everywhere! And she looked so pleased with herself! (sorry trees….) svgallery=20070911
