Three Babysitters for One Baby
We got back to Taiwan this afternoon and arrived at the airport right about the same time as Jeff who flew in from the Philippines. Mckayla was little shy again with Jeff at first, but warmed up to him quickly during the car ride home. She was proud to show off her new “trick”, nodding [...]

Souvenir for Auntie Margaret
We grabbed an early lunch in Central Hong Kong with Margaret before we boarded Airport Express for our flight back to Taiwan. We had yummy wonton noodle soup, lo-mein, and porridge at yet another tiny little restaurant (still no sight of high chair). It was getting close to Mckayla’s nap, so I left her in [...]

Service

Photo Session

She was so exhausted by the end she could barely sit up and keep her eyes open. I don’t blame her because Ted and I were both tired [...]

Uncle Ajay the Babysitter
Last night, Ted, Jackie, and I went to night market after dinner. Ajay volunteered to stay home to watch Mckayla with my Parents and Aunt Pony. We came home shortly after Mckayla fell asleep. Apparently, Uncle Ajay was watching Mckayla the entire night while my Mom was busy on the phone. They had fun playing [...]

Wax Apple and Guava
Taiwan has a huge fruit selection and I especially love the wax apple and guava. My Mom gets lots of them whenever I come back to satisfy my cravings. Mckayla had her first taste of both wax apple and guava few days ago and she loves them, too. After she had her first bites, she [...]

We attended my cousin Marc and Yuan Yuan’s wedding today. Marc is the first of my cousin from my Dad’s side of family to get married and we were all very excited. During the reception, Marc serenaded to Yuan Yuan and Mckayla clapped her hands and danced along on my laps throughout the entire song. [...]
