I ventured out with 2 babies last week. Well….. to our backyard. :-p
Lia is playing her water table she got from Da A Yi…
While Eli is having sun tanning section…
We’ll go further out next time…
I’ve been experimenting of making my own bread for the past 3 days. Here is my Whole Wheat Bread……
It’s very soft and yummy. Now we don’t need to buy from TJ and we can eat bread everyday. 
We love you Daddy!! You are a great daddy and no you are not getting XBox 360 for father’s day. We have something better for you…
Here is your gift this year…..
While hanging with her “real” aunties in San Diego, Lia demonstrates the proper way of answer a cell phone…
When Lia wants to play a toy, no one stands in her way!
When I read the story of Winnie the Pooh to Lia, I read the part about the honey from the bees, and Lia exclaimed “Daddy’s ‘honey’!” (reference to what Karen calls me). When we asked “then what’s mommy?” she answered, “pooh bear”!
Here’s a little clip in San Diego. My mom said something about “in the basket”, and Lia started dancing…
Karen had her first ever ultrasound, where for around 10 mins a technician probed every angle she could and identified various parts of the baby. While some parent may unleash as much tears as the Alaskan River at the view of the black and white blur, Karen and I endured the session until the one image that we cared about most arrived…
Boy or girl? You didn’t think I’d make it *that* easy, did you? :) Now let the guessing game begin!
(Click on the image for a larger view. Hint: Pretend the baby is sitting on a glass table, and the picture is taken from the bottom)
We will be having our first ultrasound on Tuesday, when the truth shall be revealed. Which will it be? Boy or girl?

Karen, Lia, and myself went to the “Garden d’Light” at the Bellevue Botanical Garden. The lights and designs were gorgeous…
Along the way there were many neat patterns, such as these colorful tulips…
Or this spider web…
Unfortunately Lia wasn’t too crazy about being a model…
But nothing a little snack wouldn’t fix…
After that, getting her to smile was a challenge…
Then we visited the cafe, which had a nice aquarium behind a glass…
It was drizzling quite a bit, but I took advantage of what nature provided…
Unfortunately taking pictures of a toddler can be a daunting task, so we only talked through part of the garden before they shut the lights on us.
