First Earthquake Experience

Posted on October 31st, 2007 in Family, Nicholas, Wesley. 1 comment.

Nicholas and Wesley experienced their first earthquake tonight at 8:04pm. It was a 5.6 magnitude earthquake; its epicenter located 5 miles NE of Alum Rock, San Jose. It was definitely a shaky one considering we were all downstairs when we felt it start.  Alex was in the kitchen, I was working in the formal dining […]

Lupicia Fresh Tea

Posted on October 22nd, 2007 in Grace. No comments.

Although I enjoy a cup of tea every now and then (with cream and sugar), I’m certainly not a connoisseur of fine teas. My sister on the other hand is an avid tea drinker who likes to savor the good stuff. She told me about a new tea shop that opened up recently […]

I don’t get to watch too many reality shows despite the abundance out there today, but the one reality show I never miss is Ghost Hunters on the SciFi channel. At one point last year, Alex canceled our extended cable (half-way through the run of new Ghost Hunters episodes I might add) to save […]

Lemo’s Farm
Nicholas’ friend, Maddie, turned 6 years old this past weekend, so she invited her friends to celebrated her birthday at Lemo’s Farm in Half Moon Bay. They had pony rides, bounce house, a pumpkin pinata to break (Wesley scored a free ride ticket from the Pinata so he used that to do a […]

Swim Class (Fall ‘07, Week 4)

Posted on October 3rd, 2007 in Family, Nicholas, Wesley. No comments.

Today’s surprise?  We bumped into Sandra/Emily in the lobby area waiting for Kyle to finish changing. Like Nicholas, Kyle seems to enjoy his sweet time changing after class in the locker room. Wesley usually acts as my errand boy in getting Nicholas to finish up faster but that doesn’t always work either.
Today’s events:
Nicholas gets comfortable […]

Cup Noodle

Nicholas says to us constantly… “can we have Cup Noodle for snack?”. Of course we always tell him that it’s for emergency backup food not for everyday, but that doesn’t usually stop him from asking. But whenever he asks, I’d correct him by saying… no it’s not Cup Noodle, It’s Cup O’Noodle -or- Cup […]
