Kaeden's personal space

With Ash's increased mobility each day, Kaeden hasn't been able to play in 'peace' much. Whatever setup/formation he has done for his toys the night before, never seems to be able to remain the same by the time he comes back from school.

For a boy who has been enjoying 'only child' privileges for the past 4 years plus before his baby sister came along, he has been more tolerant than I can ever ask for :) Heehee so... to be fair to him, we decided to set up a play corner for him, 'high' away from Ash's reach and destruction... but looking at it... guess it won't be for long *oops*

She is Everywhere!

Our little girl turns 15 months today :)

*wave*



At 15 months, Ash has 8 pearlies... can now get up/down from our bed and sofa... climb the stairs... stand/squat/dance/shake her backside... do almost anything except walk! Heehee... I am in no hurry for that though. Her crawling coupled with curiosity is more than enough for me now! Cannot imagine when she starts to walk...

Ash's 1st lesson

Ash attended her first Kindermusik lesson and I am so glad she enjoyed herself :) I had fun too, though tiring with all the swinging up and down! Looking forward to the next session with her...

Our 15th Valentine's day

Heehee kind of hard to believe we have been together for theeeeese long because it definitely doesn't feel this 'old' with Walker!

Though both of us have our differences but we somehow managed to complement one another very well. He always have ways to make my each day feel so brand new and despite his lack of time judgement, I still lurveeee him very much!

Happy Valentine's day!

Helpless

Dad has been admitted to hospital and is now undergoing test to find out the cause of bleeding/pus on his old spinal operation wound behind his neck. The doctor is worried that bacteria may have entered his bloodstream and if delayed further, may reach his heart... I felt so helpless that there is nothing I can do now except call back home for news :(

Our heavenly Father, please keep both my parents safe and healthy. Let nothing happen to my Dad. I want him to be around to watch Kae and Ash grow up. I want to have a chance to make up for these two years of lost time with him. Amen...

Dilemma

I am still undecided if I should bring the kids back half a year earlier or stay put with him till the end... It seems cruel to leave him all alone here BUT...

His working hours are way too long for a healthy family life... the kids don't see him often on weekdays.. all the out-of-states trip that he need to make few times in a year... Summing all that up, it does seems silly to waste our time here when both Kaeden and Ashlyn could have started school in the beginning of the year with their peers and I could be back with my parents YET...

Someone told me before that such overseas opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime experience and it usually don't come knocking twice for our hubbies' position. Even if we do visit the States again for holidays, it will never feel the same being here as tourist. On the other hand... the kids have a lifetime to catch up on that 'missing' education in Singapore...

So how huh?
