The Big Number One - now with PIX!

Guess who fell asleep two times today with no pacifier, and didn't cry during any of her diaper changes! Must be because she's 1 years old today....


Okay, finally posting pictures from Sasha's 1st Birthday Celebrations! We had one in NYC so that Su-Ting and Uncle Jason would get a chance to celebrate with her. She very much enjoyed her big fat juicy birthday ribeye from Del Frisco's Steakhouse (she chose that place herself, can you believe that?!), and she most definitely enjoyed her chocolate frosted chocolate cupcake from Magnolia Bakery. We don't call her our chunky monkey for nothin'.


On her actual birthday, we celebrated with Ahma and Ahkong with a Chinese birthday banquet with random Chinese people she didn't know that gathered on her behalf anyway! Very typical. Nonetheless, she managed to stuff her face with enough long life noodles to ensure she'll live to be 100, washed down by fistfuls of her own smash cake (which was bigger than her head). A couple presents, none of which she cared for except a card that sang "The Itsy Bitsy Spider" to her, and then she passed out within minutes of getting home.


Overall, a very very good birthday.

We will miss you, Peter.

Mourning the loss of one of the best friends one could ask for. We miss you and we have a very very heavy heart without you.

French Fry Fun

After a dip in the pool, we had lunch at the Club... the kids were starving! And Sasha, not know just how lucky she is, tried her first french fry... what's not to be happy about?

Sofie's Bag

We found this a bit funny. Cleaning up Sofie's Mimi-chan handbag, which she regularly packs, unpacks and repacks, and found it completely overflowing with random things she found necessary: several pens (like Daddy), a donut and french fries (snacks like Mommy), a handful of her Barbies' shoes, a few Cinderella dolls and spare outfits, and of course her Aurora mobile phone and a pink flowery compact. She is all girl.

Playdates, playdates, playdates!

Sofie the Socialite often has Girls' Nights In.... the agenda is generally the same and always involves lots of princess and fairy costumes, girly baths, and big social dinners!

Mother's Day 2009

Sofie graciously hosted Mommy at her school's Mother's Day celebration, where we made a beautiful bouquet together (decorated with puffy heart stickers, of course) and did a little groovin'


On Mother's Day itself, Daddy indulged us in morning Mommy & Me Cappuccino and Babycinnos, and a good old hearty Sunday brunch where Sasha monkeyed around at the table...

Angela & Shen's Wedding

The final stop on our trip was at the gorgeous Renji Golf Resort for the wedding our Angela & Shen! Sofie was the angel flower girl, and it was a dream come true for her: she got to ride in a horse drawn carriage with the bride...

More Beijing

A happy pair after our scrumptious and authentic Peking duck dinner

This is Sofie's FAVORITE outfit. She has other clothes, really, I swear. But now that she knows where her clothes are, she MUST wear it every week, and often more than once if she finds out that it's been cleaned and available. Apparently the flouncy skirt trumps her [new] favorite color, pink.
