Scarecrow and Ghost
It was a really hot day yesterday. The temperature reached 100 degree. We decided to go out to the mall to get some air conditioning. Halloween is close so there was a big custom store in the Mowry Mall. Anders was scared by a scarecrow next to Santa Ramen a couple weeks ago and now he was afraid of all the “ghosts” in the store again. Last night, we “leveraged” his fear of the ghosts to ask him finishing his milk before going to bed. He was very tired and sleepy today. The arms of his holding the bottle went lower and lower with his eyes already closed but he didn’t want to give up the bottle. As long as we pulled the bottle out of his mouth, he cried to ask for finishing it. Guess what!? He was worried that the ghost would...

Surprised!
I was running into people all day on my birthday this wednesday. After meeting with Tuoc and Peter for lunch, I ran into my cousin’s wife at Fantasia, then another cousin’s husband at Fry’s. So when I ran into Howard at Dar Dar’s Restaurant, I didn’t think twice. Little did I know that I walked into a little birthday trap set by my wife. I have to admit that I brought it on myself by forgetting that wednesday was my birthday, and scheduled to meet up to help Duc with his renovations that night. Here are some iPhone photos of our little party:
Cousin Sharon’s Wedding in Chicago
Anders was very cooperative and we had a great time in Chicago. In past weddings, we have been known to be photobugs, but with a kid in tow, we just sat back and enjoyed the beautiful wedding. Here are some of my favorite photos from Modern Image Studios who photographed Sharon and Charles’ Wedding. Unfortunately, the Modern Image Studio website is intentionally frustrating to use. Its aims are to encourage you to purchase photos from them rather than help you share your wedding photos with your family and friends. Some of the “protections” they engineered are: Cannot link directly to a specific wedding photo gallery Cannot right click to save photos prevent you from “stealing” the photos All images are watermarked with...
Anders Is 5 Months Old!
Whew… Finally Little Anders got over the jet lag of traveling from Taiwan back home. He’s the happy piggy again. He’s so choppy these days that Harrison always calls him “little meatball.” Harrison and I are blessed that Anders is adapting traveling quite well so far. We’ve taken him to Vancouver at the end of his 2nd month with Uncle Peter and Auntie Lucy, LA at the 3rd to meet my high school friend, Mandy, her fiance Will, and of course our dear friend Andy, and Taiwan at the 4th month to see the Hung and Pu families for the first time. Other than struggling with jet lag both in Taiwan and US, he’s been such an angel to travel with. Well, at least I am not yet scared away from taking him to another trip in the...
