Love me some time with friends from Singapore...

The friendships we made in Singapore will last forever... I love these girls and all their children.

We all call Texas (Houston) home so it makes it a great meeting place in the summer...

Three of us had had children since we had last seen each other... God is good.

 

 

 

Isaac and Asher are a couple of weeks apart and I hate that I could not be with his mom during our pregnancy, birth and baby stage... but look at these two now... they will be friends for life I am sure...

Isaac was very sweet and still... however Asher was taking his toys and moving all around.

 

The four amigos... love these girls.

Look at all the children... makes me smile.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I just couldn't decide which pic I liked the best... so you got them all.

GiGi's new summer house... pretty nice... and a great place for our kids to run and play.  Can't wait to do it again next summer.

 

Someone had so much fun... they passed out on the way to JuJu's.

Last time to "Kook with Kay"

OK... walk with me as we go back in time... back to Singapore... my last time to "Kook with Kay"... yes most of you just fell out of your chair when I say I took a cooking class... but don't get up yet bc I took a lot of cooking classes... at first it was more of a social thing and then it turned out that I actually enjoyed chopping, stirring, learning, mixing and eating the yummy food that we made.

Here are some pics of our last time together... which was held at GiGi's... a great day for sure and some great food... and the best thing is I have tons of recipes now of asian cuisine... just not sure if I can make most of it without at least 8 other hands helping me.

Can you imagine getting all these supplies for one meal... wow wee...

 

 

 

 

A sweet lady for sure... and if anyone wants information about how to get into one of Kay's cooking classes... leave me a message... she is amazing and it is so much fun.

The Unruh Hospitality...

Now there is only one way to go... one way to leave Singapore... that is staying with the Unruh's... there is never a dull minute and always lots of fun.  After the Morris Manor we headed to the Home of the Unruh's... Pierce and Violet are best friends and Marek is pretty cool too.  We had so much fun destroying their house, loosing a nail (more to come on that), eating ice cream and pop tarts, making late night runs to Starbucks and watching transformers... and not to forget swimming.

Thank you Unruh Clan for being so kind to us and making our last week in Singapore a GREAT one...

Pop Tarts before school... who would not like that... 

So much fun all day long = tiredness at the end of the day.

 

Best Friends...

Popsicles by the pool listening to Jamey play the guitar... life is grand...

 

Celebrating Asher... part 2!

OK so this one will be about the little bundle of joy in my belly... oh how so many people are so excited about this little one... a long awaited baby...to call our own... we are thrilled to welcome Asher into the world in a couple of months...

Here we are celebrating him with laughter, love and gifts...
 

I spoke of Eunice on the last blog entry... with her note to me... here she is writing it... I have proof... 

 

There were so many emotions at this party... we were all excited (who does not love a good baby shower?) but we all knew that the goodbyes were coming at the end... here are just a few of the many faces made at the shower... 

 

 

 

 

You can never take the Texan out of us... that is for sure...

 

Sweet Tiana had a bear for her and got one for Asher...

 

A friend gave me my first Peranakan bowl... I had wanted something Peranakan before I left and was so happy to get this from my Peranakan friend.

 

 

I had asked sweet GiGi where she got some sleepers sacs for her son and she said New Zealand so I had forgotten about them... but she had them shipped over for the party... this face does not look thrilled but it was... and still is... I am so excited to try out these sleeper sacs... they are brilliant and I did not know about them with Pierce... hope they work as well as they did for her.

Thank you everyone for a great shower and the many gifts... you have truly made this time special in so many ways... love you all!
