Santa Cruz Broadwalk 2011

It was overcast and chilly in the morning when we headed to Santa Cruz for some beach fun. Out of our expectation that it turned out to be a hot summer day. We should have brought our swimming suits along with us. Despite of our dress code, we spent a wonderful afternoon at the beach. The waves were pretty strong and Haley refused to even walk close to the water this time.

每日一字？

I try to teach Haley one Chinese word a day... She was so excited when she recognized some of the words in the story books that we read together.

Stella & I

Two friends since junior high... we both are mommy of two children now... Being a stay-home-mom is so overwhelming, we don't even remember when was our last time putting makeup on.

Like mother, like daughter

It's movie night tonight. Owen selected the movie "Up" to watch. I went upstairs and left them to enjoy the movie. When it got to the part where Russell met Kevin, Owen came upstairs and asked me to check on Haley because she looked very sad. As soon as I walked down and Haley saw me, she started to cry and said mommy. Oh! My little girl must be heartbreaking after she watched the parts about Ellie's life and how lonely Mr. Fredrickson was. Like mother, like daughter...she is just as sentimental as me. We ended up finishing the movie together while she sat on my lap. I loved that moment of holding her in my arms.

Haley wrote her name by herself

This is the first time ever Haley wrote her own name all by herself without the dotted line. Awesome!
