Far Away From Home


It has been a while since we blogged on our site. Things have been crazy busy with the addition of little Chickpea. One felt busy and a bit challenging, but two when they are really small more than double the challenge. Anyhow, the kids are growing so fast. It's so cute to watch them play together. And, Chickpea is getting faster every day. We'll try to post some photos when we get home of some long overdue family adventure and other updates as well as just recent photos. For now, mommy and daddy and kids have parted ways for the week... mommy to Vegas and Daddy and the children to Vegas. Above are photos of the kids playing at the airport before we caught our flights. It is the first time I've been far away from the children for this long, so I was a bit worried, especially for baby Chickpea. He had a tough time adjust initially but seems to be doing much better. We try to do facetime whenever we get a chance... ah, the beauty of modern technology... but it is still not the same as Chickpea does not seem to quite understand what is going on and Sweetpea does not like to talk on the phone for very long. I wonder what effect it would have on baby Chickpea and if he would kind of forget me, or if we would pick up right where we left off... or if things will not be the same when we all go back home. Sweetpea, on the other hand, being much older, seems to be having a blast in Vegas. I told her I missed her, and she said she misses me also, but when I asked if she is ready to go home, she says, "no." LOL. She enjoys spending time with her cousins and playing in her Lolo and Lola's home in Vegas as well as tickling her uncle Mike. Well, only a few more days left before I can hold them again. When we get back, it will be quite an adjustment as we also prepare for me to go back to work. We will need to find good care or preschool for the children. For Chickpea, we have a bit of time as Lola has offered to help watch the children for a while, but we still need to find a good place for Chickpea since it is not easy finding an opening for childcare for children under 2 as those spaces are more limited. Please pray for our family while we go through all the transition.

5 Years of Wedded Bliss


We can't believe this past Friday marks 5 years of marriage already, and the children are growing so fast! It's amazing how our time as just the two of us seems like a not so distant past, and it sometimes still feels unreal that we have a family of our own... that we are actually parents to a toddler and a baby.

It has been quite an adventure, and we look forward to discovering more of God's plan for our future. Happy Five Year Anniversary to my one and only!

Conversation with Daddy

Celebration at the Farm

Children arriving

Tears of joy...okay, maybe just overwhelmed; it's tough saying good-bye to babyhood. "It's my party; I can cry if I want to..."

Lots of animals to see & pet at the farm. Here I am with daddy, visiting the horses.


Up close with the chickens

and the bunnies

The line-up to see and feel the woolie sheep



Then, off to make some of our own



Party time


Mommy with my baby brother along with other happyfish mommies and babies. This was my baby brother's first official outing... a trip to the party room just to celebrate my birthday!

Daddy and Mommy needed to put me closer to the candle on the cake because it was too far and hard for me to blow... but in the end, wishes were made and we got to eat cake!

Fun at the playground on the farm grounds after the party. Thank goodness mommy brought me a change of clothes.




Thank you everyone for celebrating with me! For more photos, feel free to check out some of our friends' sites CB and cashew

Chickpea's Newborn Photo Session

It has been so hectic here with moving, getting both homes in order, and taking care of both a toddler and newborn that we haven't gotten much of a chance to post. In the midst of the craziness, we did get a chance to take photos of Baby Braedyn as a newborn at 1 week old. Here's a few pics from our session. Enjoy
