Last Friday, Wy and I went to Google for lunch.  The Chrome Hardware team were having a family party at Garfield Park on Google campus.  It was fun!  Never in my entire life got to play with these fun stuff until now. Did the slide and the bouncer. :)  They had lots of free snacks/desserts...  yummy mini donuts, cotton candy, rainbow shave ice, Ben & Jerry ice cream (gotta love that!) ...etc.   Wy was having fun walking around the park/field bare foot.   Life is good indeed. I think it would be more fun for older kids.  Wy is too young for these fun stuff. Unexpectedly, we hung out there for the whole afternoon!!

Picked up a free swag when entering into Garfield Park;
which is just across the st from Choon's office bldg.

So many kids....

I'm sure they'd fun too!

Of course I had one of these! :D

Even tho it stated "adults only"...

...we can still bring our kids in. HA!

Happily bouncing around...

Done!

Out and about in San Mateo

Last week, Wei Yang and I went to visit Zainab and Khalil after  dropping off Choon Ping at SFO.  We went to a toy store in San Mateo downtown.  It's a really nice store, with lots of toys to play with.  And if one likes it, they can buy it from them. Wei Yang was quite apprehensive at the beginning...  until he played with the kitchen bottles collection.

I love these life size giraffes! 

Wei Yang had fun with these kitchen bottles.

Khalil loves the kitchen stuff!
Especially opening and closing the cabinets.

Japanese Garden at San Mateo

It was great that both little men fell asleep in their strollers for quite a while.  Z and I got to hung out and chat a for a bit while enjoying pizza. :)  We went to a Japanese garden nearby as well.

Huge coi fish...

Wy's first haircut back in end of June

This week seems to be my "catch up week" for my neglected blog.  Here's a little posting about what we did to Wei Yang's hair end of June.

We put him on the bumbo chair and played his favourite VCD.  That really kept him on the chair for a while! :)  ...even when we were "cleaning" him up... hehe.. :P

Almost done...

Baby Shower for Lynn & Jack

I recently had the pleasure to design and host a baby shower for Lynn and Jack this past weekend. Rarely do I get such opportunity to do a floral and event design.  I almost went all the way.  But now that I have a little man with me, especially now that he's in a super clingy phase,  I had to let go some of the fun and adorable food labels that wanted to do. My "baby sitter" (Choon Ping) did not allow me to spend too much sleepless night on this. :P  :(    It's ok. I can always hope for other opportunities. hehehe...

Thanks Lynn!  I had so much fun creating the event!  Thank you Jocelyn, Susan, Lynn, and Lynn's dad for helping out.  Also, thanks for the baby sitters as well: Choon Ping, and Albert.  The event won't be as successful without your help! :)

Care to have some English Tea?

Trip to Carmel

We stayed at Hyatt Carmel Highlands for 2 nights last week.  Thought that we were just going to take advantage of the $99/night deal for 2 nights, as long as we went to the 90mins timeshare presentation.  ...we were sold! :P    It's ok.  We love Carmel anyways... and own a little piece of it :)

4th of July

It's great that Choon Ping had a long 4th of July holiday.  Thanks to his generous company! :)  We didn't do much on that day.   Just hung out at home all day and relax... until around 9:15pm, we went to watch fireworks.  Great view from Choon Ping's office building!

We were quite surprised that Wy actually enjoyed watching it.  Of course... he was very tired after that.... way passed his bed time.   It's ok.... only on special occasions. :)

Happy Father's Day!

Hi papa!

Happy Father's Day!  I've been calling you all day long today.  Yet so far away you are....

 ....missing me out! I'm getting good at this... :)

Played with mama for a bit today...

Toro mao let me play with her... but only for a bit. :(

See you this coming Friday.  Miss you much!

Love,
Yang Yang

Look who's turning 1!

I know I am not the most "on top of it" blogger, but I had to document this special occasion on our blog, for this is a very very happy day in our house. :)  I can't really describe in words how special this day is to me.  It was such a milestone year for us, and Wei Yang is the biggest blessing I could possibly imagine.  After all, it took us soooo long just to have him!  Tonight, we went to Sushi Tomi to celebrate... sat at the sushi bar. :)

Time has flown by... Wei Yang.  Your first year has gone by so fast!  It was really a day to celebrate seeing as less than a year ago, you were just a teeny tiny little one... born at 5 lbs 15oz., and came out fast!!  The nurse who's in charge of me that night missed it, the doctor missed it and your dad missed it too!  For the first 4.5 months, you have never been a good sleeper, been a persistent crier but always happy little chappy when held, rocked and walked about! You love playing with water; splashing at us... you think it's hilarious!  You sleep on your stomach with your butt sticking up high and with all sorts of weird postures. You don't like baby food anymore and prefer any food that we adults are eating.  You love to be carried and sometimes finish off with a big munch on the shoulder! OUCH!  You haven't been very happy while teething. You love chasing the cats around and terrorizing them.  You talk up a storm and your smiles and giggles light up the room. Today, you were so eager to walk all over the place without any fear of falling, and ate all the freshly picked blueberries in our backyard. You are such a joyful, thriving and healthy little one year old man! :)

Thank you for picking us as your family.
We love you much.
Happy First Birthday my little man! 

It is quite hard to throw a nice big party now that we have to deal with a demanding little human.  Difficult indeed... but not impossible. :P  I worked my butt off getting ready for this party.  And there were definitely times I questioned why I was spending so much time preparing for a party that my son would never remember.  Guess there is something very special about your first baby having their first birthday, and kind of celebrating my first year of motherhood as well. :D

Anyway, ...sharing some of the party photos that we took last Saturday with you! (whoever you are...)
