Sophia’s Summer Pictures

By Leave a Comment

Sophia_7months-13At seven months old, Sophie is growing so fast and crawling everywhere. Sophie is such a happy baby and loves playing with Kate! Max has become Sophie’s loyal doggy as she gives him the most love… and plenty of snacks! Today was a beautiful day with just enough fluffy clouds in the sky to let your imagination run wild. So, I grabbed the camera and snapped a few pictures of Sophie at our house. As you can tell, it doesn’t require much skill to make her smile or capture her beauty.

I hope you like these snapshots: [Read more…]

Alaskan Cruise-34A big thanks to Ba Ngoai and Ong Ngoai for taking the family on this Alaskan Cruise. Over the last few years, we’ve had the pleasure of traveling with our extended family included Ba Ngoai, Ong Ngoai, Co Noi, Co Hong, Aunt Mary, Aunt Tam, Jenny, the girls and yours truly.

We arrived in Seattle in time to enjoy a day/night in the city before boarding the Norwegian Jewel on July 14th for a seven night cruise. It was an amazing cruise and the only way to really see such beautiful sites through Alaska. We stopped in ports at Ketchikan, Skagway and Victoria, BC, Canada. Along the way, we traversed fjords, saw plenty of iceburgs, eagles, seaplanes and glaciers. [Read more…]

Alaska Cruise – Touring Butchart Gardens

By Leave a Comment

IMG_1075Our family cruise stopped in Victoria, BC and I’ve been dreaming of returning ever sense. While most of the disembarking cruisers headed to the restaurants, bars and shops, our family hired a driver to take us to Butchart Gardens. With one million visitors touring every year, you know there is something here to see. Plan on spending as much of the day here as possible and prepare to walk hills, steps and rough terrain. It is totally worth it to see the various sections including the Sunken Garden, Concert Lawn Walk, Rose Garden, Japanese Garden, Italian Garden and Mediterranean Garden. [Read more…]

2012 Girls Bday-37Today, we celebrated Kate’s 2nd birthday and Sophia’s 1-month birthday with forty of our closest family and friends from all over the country. A special thanks to Jenny’s parents, aunt and uncle and our close friends for bringing all the wonderful food…including a fully roasted pig! Further, a big thank you to everyone who attended. It’s great to have so many people invested in our lives. They say it takes a village to raise a child, and that’s why we keep inviting you to our parties! 🙂

Here are a few snapshots of the party, our guests and the birthday girls: [Read more…]

Sophia’s First Real Bath

Sophie Bath-2Everyday with Sophia is amazing… While we’ve been home only a few days, Sophia is alert and pretty laid back. Certainly, Jenny gets 100% of the credit for her wonderful around-the-clock care of Sophia! Today, we gave Sophia her first real bath. And by “we”, I mean Jenny! At first, Sophia didn’t know how to process the bath, but she did like the time with mom and getting all soapy. Jenny definitely loved the time with her and is feeling better.

Here are a few pictures of Sophie’s first real bath: [Read more…]

That means, we’re officially in Week 23 and our baby is the size of a Papaya (8 in, and 1.2 lbs). Jenny is doing great and has reclaimed her second wind. She’s a champ and we’re so excited.
