Outing

September 29, 2015 No Comments

The girls were getting squirrely so we took them out for a walk to the playground.

They got to run free around the ballpark before getting to the playground.

At the playground, Janie did a better job with sharing and gave Alice a bucket and shovel to play with. She also helped her fill her bucket.

It was really sunny out there this morning and it was a perfect opportunity for Peanut to try out the hat that Alice passed down to him.

It’s a little big but it certainly keeps the sun out of his eyes.

Mmm…tasty hand.

On the walk home, the girls held hands. This is always so cute.

Ad Hoc

September 28, 2015 No Comments

To celebrate Mama and Uncle Johny’s birthdays, we had dinner at Ad Hoc.

Janie took a nap in the car before dinner and was starving so she got started while we perused the menu.

Peanut also woke up hungry and we were prepared for our chunky monkey!

Afterward, we hung out in the carrier while the family ate dinner. What a good boy!

We all had a delicious meal and because he did such a good job eating her dinner, Janie got a tasty chocolate mousse for dessert.

Peanut didn’t get any dessert but instead hung out on Yai’s lap.

What a fun birthday dinner for everyone!!

Dinner at Hog Island

September 26, 2015 No Comments

For dinner, we took the train to the Ferry Plaza.

Peanut was wide awake for the ride and walk over there.

While we waited for our table, Janie read books to Alice.

She was VERY excited to see the oyster platter sitting right in front of her. Look at the excitement in her face. She already ate one before Mama could even put her bib on!

The rest of the Chiembanchong family arrived in SF this morning and Ta finally got to meet and hold his grandson.

Peanut also met Uncle Johnny, Auntie Joy, and cousin Alice.

Oh, happy day!

FaceTime

This evening, Peanut was so alert that he was able to hang out with Auntie Joy, Uncle Johnny, and Alice on FaceTime for a little while.

He also stayed up after he was changed into his PJs.

nap and dinner

May 24, 2015 No Comments

Before dinner, Alice and Janie tried to take a nap but Uncle Johnny was the only one who got any Zs.

So on the way to dinner, she fell asleep and then slept through all of dinner.

However, she woke up in time for dessert at Cookies and Cream.

She was scared of the dry ice steam in the store but really enjoyed her share of Cinnamon Crunch ice cream.

When we got back to Yai’s house, Janie had some of the leftover jook that we took home from lunch. She must have made it look really good because Alice wanted some too.

When it got dark outside, we cracked open the light sticks and the girls had fun waving them around in the backyard and then running around in the dark hallway inside the house.

After a morning at Disneyland, Janie met up with Mommy, Daddy, and Yai at the Anaheim Packing House. There were lots of stairs and Janie was OBSSESSED with going up and down. It was like a flashback to when she was around 18 months old.

For lunch, she had some pho and lemonade.

When the kids were done eating, they chased each other around and Janie tried to give Alice a hug.

They also played “Ring Around the Rosey”.

Downstairs in the grassy area, we all shared some ice cream together and the girls each got their own cone.

They also burned off the sugar with lots of running and going up and down the stairs.

Alice tried very hard to keep up with Janie.

It also looks like Janie is ready to be a big sister. She was bossing around Alice all afternoon.

With all the excitement this morning, we weren’t shocked to see Janie passed out on the ride home.

Disneyland Morning

May 23, 2015 No Comments

This morning, Janie went to Disneyland with Auntie Joy, Uncle Johnny, Alice, and Ta.

They all piled into the car together and got there in time for their opening.

It’s the first weekend of the Disneyland 60th Anniversary Celebration and Janie was lucky enough to go!

Once they got into the park, their first stop was the Baby Care Center for a potty break.

The kids got stickers for going potty!

The girls held hands as they walked through Tomorrowland and Alice went for a spin.

Here they are at the Jedi Training Academy.

The first ride they went on was the Finding Nemo Submarine ride. Right away, she spotted the seagulls outside saying, “Mine! Mine! Mine!”.

Initially, she was scared to go in the submarine but did much better this time around compared to when she was 8 months old and screaming when the lights went out.

The next ride was “It’s a Small World” and the girls scored a front-row seat on the boat.

Janie and Ta took a picture together in front of the Walt & Mickey statue at the hub of the park.

Janie got a snack around late morning while Alice took a cat nap.

When given the choice of the carousel or Dumbo, Janie chose to ride Dumbo.

After a 30-minute wait, they scored a blue Dumbo and Janie used the joystick to make it go up and down.

Janie had a fun time this morning at the “Happiest Place on Earth”. Thanks for taking me, Family!!!

Change of Plans

March 8, 2015 No Comments

After breakfast, we had plans to go to the zoo. We took a nice walk down Kalakaua but once we arrived at the zoo, both kids were knocked out. So, we hung out at the beach while the slept instead. Janie slept for almost 2 hours!!
