Today, we dropped off the kids at daycare for a couple of hours so that Alex and I could head over to catch a showing of the Chronicles of Narnia. I’ve read this story as a child but only treated it as a story with no deeper meaning than that. Now after seeing this movie, […]

While my sister and parents were in town, we figured it’d be nice to take a few day trips nearby. Our initial plan to visit Napa was derailed by flashflood warnings in Sonoma. So on the less rainy days, we decided to visit some local kid-friendly places instead:
Children’s Discovery Museum
Nicholas asks us all the […]

Friends are like stars ~ you don’t always have to see them to know they are there

“Fantasy if it’s really convincing can’t become slated, for the simple reason that it represents a flight into a dimension that lies beyond the reach of time.” ~Walt Disney

King Kong
After enjoying a feast of singaporean food, our group was treated to a movie starring King Kong. The movie was entertaining but not something I would have particularly cared for. Instead, I found the setting/costumes in the film to be of more interest to me. I also noticed that they casted Adrien Brody and […]

This morning our day began with Alex leaving at 7am to participate in some volunteer work with the Habitat for Humanity project (to build a house). Turns out it’s just building the foundation so it wasn’t like putting up walls/etc., but Daddy got a good workout nonetheless.
Mommy was up late the night before trying […]

Today was the day of Wesley’s holiday performance and potluck so we got our cameras ready and our spirits in gear (we picked up Nicholas early too so he would not miss out). The Two’s/Transition department (made up of 100 or so kids) put on a winter spectacular in the multipurpose room of our daycare […]

This is the first year we will be in town for the holidays so we celebrated this momentus occasion by going Christmas Tree shopping Saturday. As usual, Wesley was out like a light only moments after we’ve driven off so it was up to Mommy and Nicholas to first go down and check out […]

As one of the Corporate Fantasy of Lights sponsors, we were allowed this weekend to visit the Drive-Through Holiday Extravaganza, surrounding Vasona Lake in Los Gatos. The routes unfortunately were not planned out very well (mainly because of a breech in one of the intersections that allowed people to merge/cut-in to the line foregoing the […]

Friday evening, a few of us ladies went to catch a screening of the latest Jane Austen remake: Pride and Prejudice (2005). I must say that it was a rather enchanting experience seeing this film on the big screen.
The movie was shown in a smaller auditorium and all the seats were filled with the exception […]

I never thought I’d be capable of pulling “an Alex”, but then again… I never cease to amaze myself. I called in to our pediatrician’s office to make an appointment for Nicholas this morning because he’d been complaining of some pain in his urinary area. They squeezed us in for a 12 noon appt so […]

We went to a ‘Thomas the Tank Engine’ party today to celebrate Anson’s 5th birthday in his home. Anson is truly a Thomas fan with a huge assortment of Thomas toys/games/videos including a ridearound train that Wesley grew rather fond of. Our kids became lost in this candy store of “Thomas” paraphenalia … so much […]

This was the chosen theme for my coworker’s baby shower (his name happens to be Larry Lam). So when it came to cake cutting time… this was the song everyone chimed in on (just for a good laugh). The Mocha cake I got from Sheng Kee Bakery was quite a hit probably because of its […]

I’ve added another 150+ photos to Nicholas’ 2004 School Photo Album here
I’ll get to Wesley’s next. Unfortunately his teachers are not as camera happy.
