Yushi...!

Tea time at an antique clothing shop

A truly beautiful and inspiring space. But instead of enjoying it, Evita and I were busy making sure the kids aren't breaking any antique or art piece! ;)

Beginning drivers in the car!

Back in Taipei!

May in Taipei is serious summer already.

Irvine House

I really like visiting my grandparent's Irvine house. My most favorite is the backyard because I can run around, play with water and plants, and pick grapefruits with grandma in the mornings. I also like the kitchen because that's where everyone hangs out and eat...and the palm trees...they are so tall now and almost covering the window of my dad's room! Thank you grandpa grandma...hopefully I can visit you again soon!

Kohl's Children Museum

I loved this museum. I probably enjoyed the whole experience as much as Noah did. It was amazing...from supermarket to vet, exploring water to experimenting music, hands-on art to riding real size trucks and boats, it's a kid's paradise. It's also very educational. Noah was fascinated and ran around non-stop. It was fun to see what he was intrigued by. At 16 months, he loved the cars, the animals, pushing different buttons for effects, and replacing x-rays films from the x-ray board to the sink ;)

Noah's new trick: walking backwards

Happy Mother's Day

We spent the day at Laguna Beach, where Joseph and I got married 3 yrs ago. Surprisingly, Noah was really afraid of the sand and water...it was really funny to watch because usually he's not afraid of anything!

Newport Beach

I LOVE Uncle Thomas and Aunty Tina!!!

All aboard!!

While Joseph's on a biz trip in Seattle, Noah and I went for a train ride at the Irvine Regional Park. Noah has just started to recognize cars and airplanes...so it was fun to see his reaction when we got on the train! He also kept calling the horses "doggies"...I guess he can't really tell the difference yet ;)

Huntington Library

It was so good to see everyone. I felt so touched seeing Thomas and Tina enjoying spending time with Noah and never getting tired of playing with him. Really missed you guys! Hope we get to see each other more often...nothing beats spending some good time with good old friends.

Cinco de Mayo BBQ at the Bollenbach's

And Mrs. Bollenbach's famous brownies...so good with vanilla ice cream. Joe ate about 8 or 9 pieces!

Noah's first snow!
