Happy Father’s Day, from Nathan! Thank  you for being the greatest dad and for spending time with Nathan everyday even when he misbehave and hard to be around with. You’ve been a great dad by providing, guiding and setting a good example. May God continue to give you wisdom to be a good father and fill you up with His joy and grace. We love you! These are the crafts that Nathan made for his daddy this year and of course with the help of mommy! We copied a poem from a site and reads:

“Sometimes you get discouraged because I am so small and always leave my fingerprints on furniture and walls.

But every day I’m growing – I’ll be grown some day, and all those tiny hands will surely fade away.

So here’s a little handprint, just so you can recall, exactly how my fingers looked when I was very small”

Love, Nathan

It’s new year again!!! Well, I got to have something new at home for the new year right? So, I decided to rush out doing the table cloth just to welcome the new year! Happy New Year 2010 everyone!

Finally, we decided to buy a tree this year to make Christmas more cheerful in the house. I guess especially for Nathan, he is very excited about the tree. The gifts that he has received so far, he has put them under the tree. Maybe he doesn’t know what is inside and that’s why he could resist the temptation of opening up the gifts. After all it’s his first year of Christmas that he really “know” what is going on. I’ve been busy creating some crafts myself. I did the stockings for three of us. Mine is taking the longest time since I quilted some difficult pattern using my friend’s pattern – Wendy (check out her wonderful works using the links). We’re ready for Christmas morning to capture the joys and excitement from the little one. Of course, we’ve been constantly telling him that Christmas is all about Jesus and not about tree and gifts . Here are some of the pictures of the decoration I’ve done around the house. Not that much, but maybe next year we’ll include some of the handmade crafts that I could make with Nathan. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, everyone! Another year has passed by…

This is a Christmas gift for a dear friend.

I still can’t believe that my little monster has just turned two years old. It seems like just yesterday that he was born… and now he is 2 already. He is just growing too fast and sad thing is that on the other hand I’m just aging too fast too… sob sob Anyway!!! We went to Silver Dollar City for a little celebration/vacation for his birthday. Nathan enjoyed himself at the SDC with the rides and running games with other kids.  We didn’t have a party for him but he still got a lot of gifts and wishes from friends and relatives. Thank you for all the gifts and wishes on behalf of Nathan!

I’m still wondering how is the “terrible two” experience for me. For one thing, he is already saying NO to everything.  Well on the good note, he is already starting to say a lot of stuff. Today, we invited his little buddy over to play with him. We had snack after got up from nap, but Nathan had to change his diaper half way through. So, Daniel followed us to the room with his snack. Nathan saw that he was with food in his room. He turned around and said to Daniel: “Daniel, go to kitchen!” hahha.. I was so stunned at his reaction. I thought he was very cute. Maybe terrible two is not that bad. At least, I’m really enjoying talking with him now.

We had a thanksgiving dinner at the Reeve’s! It was great because they were gracious enough to invite us over when we didn’t plan to do anything for thanksgiving this year.  As usual, the thanksgiving was not complete without the delicious turkey and stuffing. We had  good eat and good company with very wonderful friends who include the host – the Reeve’s, the 3 generations of Loh’s family and Annee. The boys were so totally enjoyed each other’s company. You can imagine all 5 boys and NO girls!!! I thought it was funny… maybe God will bless us all with girls next time and they can hang out together next time. We’re thankful for all the good friends and family who have constantly bless us and shower us with love! Happy thanksgiving 2008.

I really this picture of the boys! Thanks Laurel for taking this picture!
