Nicholas & Jasmine

Years have gone and both Nicholas and Jasmine are no longer tiny.  They are quite the big boy and big girl now.  They play together, they fight together, and they like to inform each other of things.  It is quite enjoyable to hear them converse.  Sometimes they would even team up together and gang up on us.  Like this morning, when I left them to catch the train and all of a sudden Jasmine calls me on the phone asking if they could play video games while waiting for Dada to get ready to take them to school.  As she was talking, I can hear her brother whispering and giving her directions in the back ground telling her exactly what to say to me so they could get what they want.   Even though they knew that they aren't allowed to play video games first thing in the morning, I'm glad that they actually learn to team up and work together.  =)

Here are some pictures of them from last year.

Winter wonderland

I finally had a chance to go through all these images in my camera.  These were taken last winter 2012-2013.  I was never really a fan of winter.  The temperature is too cold, the roads are too slippery, and the air is too dry and it worries me of getting wrinkles that much sooner.  But seeing these pictures I cannot deny how pretty things look when decorated with white snow.  I just wish we can have this view without the cold air and the slippery ice.  =)

Nicholas' first communion 2013

Nicholas received the sacrament of First Communion in May 2013.  We are very proud of him.  He can now participate in receiving the body of Christ at every mass he attends.  Next year will be Jasmine's turn. 

Here are some pictures from his first communion.

Here's the priest having a chat with the kids

Opa's birthday April 2013

We celebrated Opa's birthday at our place last year.  Here he is during his cake ceremony.

As a safety precaution, we had to reduce his candles...by a lot...

 

 ...and we had to add another candle blower... just incase.

ok they put out the fire.  The party can go on.

 

Happy birthday Opa!!!

Dada's Hamilton 30km Marathon

Dada has been signing up for a lot of marathons the last couple of years.  He's trained really hard and has advanced very well.  His work has paid off and now he is addicted to running.  We made it to one of his marathons last year.  We wanted to surprise him and waited for him at the finish line.

Here's the scenes from his Hamilton marathon last year.



Where is Dada?

 

Don't understand how these people run wearing what they were wearing at this time of year...

 

...when the normal people were wearing this...

 

Waiting for Dada, good thing they brought snacks

 

He's coming!!  I see him I see him!!

 

Can you see Dada?

 

There he is closer!

 

Look at Dada go!

Yiay Dada!!

We are proud of you!
