Fall 2011 Photoshoot

Fall 2011 Photoshoot-27While the summers are painful in Houston, the winters are so mild to kinda makes up for the other blistering months. Jenny, Kate, little Sophie (still kicking and punching inside Mommy) and I headed out to the Japanese Gardens in Houston to memorialize this time in our life. Sophie should be joining us in just two month, and Jenny is amazingly mobile all things considered. Kate is coming up on her second birthday and eagerly awaits her new sister. Recently, we gave Kate a little doll to start practicing how to carefully touch, hold, and play with a baby. She is so excited to be a big sister and frequently talks to her sister through mommy’s belly.

We hope you enjoy this snapshot of our lives: [Read more…]

2010 Christmas Dinner Party

By Leave a Comment

2010 Xmas-27This year, we celebrated Christmas Dinner ’10 with family and friends at our house. After our two Thanksgiving dinners, we were pretty tired of Turkey, Ham and Brisket, so we opted for Steak, Scallops, Shrimp and Fish. It was good and we have plenty of left overs to munch on for the next few days.

Joining us this year, was our grandmother (Ba Noi), Anthony, Marie and Mary (Jenny’s parents and sister), John Sr. and Tilda (my father and step-mother), Co Hong and Tam (our aunt and cousin) and Michael and Henry (our good friends). We had a great time and I’ve not received any calls alerting me of food poisoning (thank goodness). [Read more…]

While she won’t remember it (except from these pictures), she had a blast ripping, munching, crawling all over her new presents. Our friends and family over did it this year with their fantastic presents for Kate: tons of new books, plush toys, toys for riding and bath time play, fancy dresses and pretty cloths, sparkling jewelry, shoes and so much more.

2010 Thanksgiving-7We have a tremendous amount to be thankful for this Thanksgiving season: a precious daughter, a loving family, health, fantastic friends, challenging jobs and so much more… With so much to be thankful for, we’ve hosted a few parties for which the pilgrims would have been proud!

Jenny, Kate and I hosted two big Thanksgiving dinners this year and it is safe to say, we’re tired of Turkey & the “fixins.” However, we’ve had a blast entertaining and hope our friends and family have enjoyed the feast. To put it into perspective, here’s what we cooked for the forty plus (40+) people who attended one of our two Thanksgiving parties (one for our MD Anderson friends and the others for family): [Read more…]

2010 Austin Trip-27I’ve got the best wife… Every year for my birthday, Jenny plans a big gathering. This year, Jenny invited some of our closest friends to Lake Travis in Austin where we rented a large house for several days. We never left the house and used the time to catch up with each other. Everyone cooked their share of fantastic meals, we played board games for the first time since I was 16, found some new music (thanks Michael A.) and much more.

A big thanks to my wonderful wife for once again outdoing yourself. Also, thanks to Theresa, Mike & Amber; Michael & Henry; Lisa & Adrian, Annie & Tom; Michael & Melanie. Also, big thanks to Kate for being such a big girl and Max for your good behavior.

Here’s a few pictures from our weekend. [Read more…]
