Lounging Around

It's been raining so much that we often spend the afternoon indoors at home.  Here is a shot of the kiddies watching TV on a boring afternoon.  How can they be comfortable sitting like that?

I can't remember what we were doing that day (probably grocery shopping) but we were out and about and both kids fell asleep in the car.  So exhausted....

Julia Turns 3! (video)

It's Julia's 3rd birthday today and we didn't have a big party this year.  On the weekend, we wanted to go to Fun4Kids at Aberdeen center to celebrate, which is a huge play center for kids, but she wanted to eat eggs for breakfast so we went to Ikea for the $1 breakfast (includes eggs, hashbrowns and sausage).  And then she was just tall enough to go into the kids play area so she went in for the very first time.  She had a blast.  She was jumping in and out of the ball pool (pool with balls) and didn't even want to leave, until I bribed her with an ice cream cone.

Her favorite dessert right now is ice cream, so for her birthday cake, we had to get her an ice cream cake with ice cream cones on top.  Look at her happy smile!  

Chinese New Year Parade

It was the first weekend after Chinese new year and there was a parade taking place in Chinatown so we decided to head out to we watch it.  We got there 30 minutes before the start time and had to drive around and around to find parking.  We finally found a spot 3 blocks away.

We found a great spot, right in front so the kids had unblocked view.  The kids loved it, every time someone was giving away red pockets or candy or toys, they ALWAYS handed one to Julia first and then Jas next.  They got all the goodies!  Perks of being cute I guess.  We stayed for over an hour and got hungry and tired.  We then walked to Floata for some dim sum.  We saw the "CHOI SUN" just as we walked to the car and we had to get a pic with him.  The kiddies are going to be lucky this year...

Now it's Jas Turn - Sick Again

Julia just got better as of yesterday.  No more fever, no more asthma meds.  Phewf.  But it seems Jas caught something from school and is hacking away with a cold again.  Here we go, another round of asthma meds.

Let's please hope that Julia doesn't re-catch this one from Jas.  She just got better!

Happy Birthday Daddy!

It is Daddy Tweet's birthday today.  Didn't do anything special, not even dinner.  We were too tired from the getting-out-of-bed each night when the kids are sick.  Seems never ending.  We'll have to make up for it on our trip to Vegas (hint, hint, hint).  We had yummy birthday cake and called it a night.

First Glimpse - Scan of Baby #3

It's finally happening - again.  I've got buns in the oven!  Baby #3 is on the way, due August 2013.

It was really strange this time, as I was so sure that I wasn't pregnant.  During the xmas month, we went to several parties and since I didn't think I was pregnant, I enjoyed myself with many drinks!  And then, my period was late.

The morning that I tested, I was in disbelief.  I jumped on Rich to show him the positive test and he looks at me and says "how come?"   Nice reaction... Daddy.  Anyways, we are all very excited.  Really hoping it'll be a boy this time to complete the Wong family.

Here We Go Again - Kiddies Sick

Unfortunately, the winter is dragging on and on, and the kiddies keep on getting sick.  Jas caught it first, fever and asthma and now Julia has it as well.  We are giving them both meds every 4 hours.  It's going to be a long 2 weeks....

Gavin's Birthday

We went to Gavin's birthday party today in their North Vancouver home.  Their house has a back yard that goes directly into the mountains!  Neat.  I wonder if they see deer or bears at night.  

There were lots of boy toys, finger foods, and a magician!  He sure made all the kids laugh and kept them entertained.  Jas and Julia loved all the toys, as they don't have alot of boy toys at home.  They especially enjoyed the full-size cupcakes (compared to mini-cupcakes).   Thanks for having us over to play.
