It’s so hard to believe MeiMei is no longer with us but we’re happy that she no longer has to suffer. No more coughing day and night. No more nasty tasting medications for her twice per day. She gets to run and bark as much as she please. She gets to chase and attack the [...]

Christmas 2008
We started our Christmas celebration at the Brown’s. After our yummy hot pot dinner, Mckayla and I follewed Dora to the room to say Hi to Scottie. Mckayla was excited to see Scottie and wanting to kiss him. She followed Scottie for a while and tried to pet him gently (while I constantly reminded her [...]

Number 12 on it’s way
We knew Mckayla has been teething and her molars are coming out, but I haven’t been able to look closely in her mouth to see what’s going on for a while until earlier this evening. I was tickling her and she was laughing with her mouth wide wide open, so I took a few quick [...]

Patrick the Pup
Auntie Thien gave Mckayla a little puppy from FAO Schwarz for her first birthday and since then it’s been her favorite stuffed animal. Patrick the Pup traveled with us on the recent trip to the Philippines, Taiwan, and Hong Kong. Today, on our way to my work’s Christmas Dim Sum/White Elephant Gift Exchange, we walked [...]

When we got there, the house was already filled with kids running around. I quickly fed Mckayla – she really enjoyed the baked ziti and wild rice pilaf. After her dinner, she [...]

A good day
Ted surprised me this morning by staying home for my birthday. We didn’t get to do much together in the morning because I had a long list of errands to run. So to make things easier, Ted stayed home with Mckayla and MeiMei, and I went out alone. I got done with almost everything by [...]

I’m a little piggy bank…
I got home from our Secret Santa gift exchange with a tummy full of yummy food from Krung Thai earlier tonight. Two sweet girls welcomed me home as I opened the door from the garage. Both of them were at the door and excited to see me. MeiMei didn’t bark, but was running in circles [...]

Indecent Exposure
This morning, I got an e-mail from Jackie with two photo attachments. When I opened up the attachment, I saw two pictures of Mckayla and Jackie. Jackie was on the toilet while Mckayla was sitting on her laps. I can tell the picture was taken when we were in the Philippines, but I had no [...]

Babbling…
Mckayla has been babbling for a while now and no real words have came out yet. Nanny thinks that we don’t talk to her enough and that’s why she doesn’t “talk”. My Mom thinks that kids who walk earlier starts to talk later (based on her experience with her four kids). Mckayla’s very proficient with [...]
