Our Mid-Summer's Update

Chong, Helen & Joshua went to Phoenix to visit our good friends Justin & Nadia (Chong's ex-Target buddy) & drove to the Grand Canyon late May. What an adventure *more pics on C.'sFacebook* The Grand Canyon was absolutely breath-taking! So much so that I had trouble falling asleep the 1st night because I kept waking up thinking I was falling off a steep cliff!! God is so amazing, in all His splendor, He created a big hole in the ground just for us to enjoy. Of course not just any hole, a masterpiece of chunks of rock that date back to over a million years old! We also went to the Musical Instrument Museum where Justin works. It was so educational, inspiring and fun! Joshua loved the children's musical instrument playroom. Luckily, there weren't other kids there... he would not have been able to "share", there was just too much stuff to play with!

Joshua was most excited when he rode the airplane for the 1st time. This boy is in love with planes, (plus cars, trains, wait-- just about everything!) We've got lots of videos of the trip so you can check it out on C's YouTube! It was awesome taking him on our trip! He was such a good boy so we gave him ice cream.

Eliana turned 1 on June 5! We celebrated with the Korean tradition of wearing Hambok and eating an assortment of Chinese-Korean cuisines! Eliana is such a great baby, and it's sad to know she's already a "toddler", walking & being Miss Independent. At the same time, she's getting bullied by her big brother who thinks it's ok to hit and knock her down whenever he wants! Boys will be boys...

We have made a couple trips to Palm Beach (Moody Gardens) and to the zoo. We have been enjoying every moment with the kids, watching them grow and interact with us. They make us laugh constantly, but there are days we can't wait for nap time too! Helen is getting a new job in the ER (closer to home) and is so excited about switching to better hours, night shift has really drained her but icecream and coffee always does the trick. Lastly, great news in the family: Judy, Helen's younger cousin is expecting! Yea! More kiddos to play together similar to us when we were young :)
