July 2008

Most of the summer has been spent centered around Noah.
We want to spend as much quality time with him as possible, before he has to share all the attention with his new brother.
We had lots of visitors.
The Kims finally returned from Taiwan.
Nah Nit came for a weekend.
Then Ye-Ye and Nai-Nai came, too.
Noah made the most of hot summer enjoying all sort of activities around Mad City.
He is growing up so quickly in front of our eyes. He's going to be one great big brother.

A trip down south!

A trip down south July 08

Noah got to take a trip down Mommy's and Daddy's memory lane.
A little road trip down to Herrin to visit Kun Ta and Kun Yai for the 4th of July weekend.
Noah got a chance to explore his musical side during the visit.
It turned out that he's quite a performer..seemed to love piano, guitar..even an accordion. Once he was introduced to a mic and Karoke..that was the end of the story. On the way home, we also stopped at U of I, had lunch at the Union..browse around the Quad..and of course, picking up a little souvenir.
Noah got to soak in a bit of the Illini spirit before heading back to Badger land.

Bay Area Visit

Bay Area visit June 08

Noah got to see all his cousins together on this trip.
Despite the Bay Area record heat that greeted, we did manage to do a lot of site-seeing.
The kids brave the heat at Oakland Zoo..and later came home to cool off in the pool.
We took a scenic drive to Monterey..and visited the famous aquarium. Noah seemed to enjoy seeing all the fish, jelly fish and vising the touch pool.
But really, the best time of all was for Noah to hang out with all of his cousins. He seemed to fit into the little brother role with cousin Eli and took the big brother role with cousin Nolan. He is not sure quite what to do with Ella yet, but Ella seemed to welcomed Noah to her house with a warm smile always.
