Tuesday, November 5, 2013. The holidays are upon us! Joaquin's handsome look for his 1st birthday. Julien eating yummy pizza. Pumpkin carving our huge pumpkin! Joaquin had a wonderful little family party at our house with all the cousins, aunts and uncles and grandmas. It was perfect. He was so happy playing with all his new cars and just happy to be playing with everyone. I cannot wait for them to get older and really form a special bond. You can tell they already are so close, even they are so young.

A Happy Little Family. Friday, July 27, 2012. I have been really bad about rounding up the family for fashion friday pictures. It's not so much that we have been busy, it's just that I can't seem to get myself out of bed at a decent time in the mornings. Lately, Lyla has been crawling into bed with us in the wee early hours and falling back asleep (thank you, Jesus! Thursday, July 19, 2012. The best lyrics ever written. In Christ alone my hope is found. He is my light, my strength, my song. Firm through ...

Tuesday, December 4, 2007. Post-Natal Confinement Recipes: Tonic Teas and Juices. Ubat periuk or makjun for you during the first 2 weeks of confinement or you’ll risk having a jaundiced baby. And don’t go overboard with the ginger either. A paediatrician did a study on ginger and proved conclusively that ginger does encourage jaundice in babies. A good rule of the thumb is to use not more than 4 slices of ginger in your food. Remember, herbs that have or touted as having medicinal properties are drugs.

Sunday, May 12, 2013. Joaquin is 6 months and summer is around the corner. Driving home after ballet. First time eating sweet potatoes. 6 month check up. Joaquin and his friend Alana. Too cute! She is so beautiful. First day at the pool. Things have been very busy at our house! Where does the time go! However, there have been a couple nights recently where he has been sleeping until 5. Maybe as he eats more solids, he will sleep longer but we will see. We have many things planned for the next months....
