Well, we have. Last Saturday, we told Ms. J that we were going to Cunningham Park so that I could take her pictures, to which she agreed. She even said, "I would give you my best pose, mommy." (heart melting here..) So we took a bus and when we got off from the bus, she looked a little confused when she saw big tents at the park. She murmured, "Hey, what are those tents for?" (I don't know...) Then,...

{Friday at a Farm}

21 May 2011

I love going to a farm so when we received a letter from Ms. J's school that they are looking for volunteers to help with a farm trip, I decided to take a day off (tee hee hee). I got to sit in a school bus with 21 Kindergarteners who were extremely excited and full of energy (and yes, they are louder that HS-ers). We started the day with a pony ride, continued with hay ride and the children got...

{Ah Summer}

Ah, summer, what power you have to make us suffer and like it. ~Russel Baker~ I never really care about weather forecast until I moved to NY almost five years ago. Now, I am obsessed with the weather channel. Meh! I have been longing for a warm weekend with lots of warm sun. I don't think it is going to happen anytime soon. It will be raining the whole week this week and (read this!) thunderstorm...

I've known Mrs. T for years. We used to work in a same agency. She is one of the persons that I admire. Her attention to details and creativity make her a super diligent and reliable event organizer. It was really shocking when she announced her resignation and her plan to move to the U.S. But I admire her for willing to take such a big risk. I am thrilled when she shared the news that she was getting...

Ms. J really loves her teacher or really likes pretending to be a teacher. She would pick up a book and read it for her "class". She would say in a firm tone, "Boys and girls, please be quiet. Otherwise, I am not going to read this book for you." Other time, she pretends that she is having a conversation with another teacher about their meeting schedule. LOL. Watching her imagining and pretending...

{Love Actually}

15 May 2011

One of my colleagues got married yesterday and she allowed me to come with her when she tried on her wedding dress. The dress is soooo beautiful. Simple yet delicate and with lots of lovely layers. When she put the dress on, I knew immediately that she would look gorgeous and lovely on her big day. The place is a little small so I really had to squeeze myself to get some shots. Thus, the cropped...

I had the red plaid dress,...
