Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas loved ones! We hope you had a blessed Christmas.

 

Christmas this year was bittersweet for us, as we were remembering last year's special Christmas in Malaysia (our last one with Grandpa Boon) and also missing Nena a lot (she loved Christmas and spent many with us)... and our families far away. But by focusing on celebrating Jesus, we were comforted and felt grateful to God for His love and all the blessings we have had during this difficult last year. Baby Luke of course, being our greatest gift!

 

On Christmas Eve, we went to our church at night for a special service with carols and candles:

 

Luke slept most of the time (except for in the beginning when we took this photo)!

And here are our photos of Christmas Day:

This "Megaseat" was Luke's gift and he likes it! He is such a strong and big baby that he had no problem sitting in it, even though it's meant for 4 months onwards (he will be 3 months old in 2 days).

 

We had a special breakfast.



"The Light of the World is Jesus"

 

Daniel loved the globe you gave him, vozinha and vovo Stephen! Thank you!

Luke enjoyed watching Daniel open his presents...

Daniel just loves Lego!

 

Daniel spent most of the day building and playing with his new "Super Heroes" Lego. We barely had to help him build it this year, he was able to follow the instructions very well.

In the evening on Christmas Day, we had our neighbors from the Philippines join us for dinner. Rafi is one of Daniel's best friends in the neighborhood and they had a great time playing.



"Jenga" was a "family gift" and we all enjoyed playing it together.

Jonny cooked a delicious dinner and we loved hearing the fascinating life story of our neighbor's mother!

We have much to be grateful for. Thank you Jesus!

Daniel Visited Papai's Office Today!

Daniel's school is on winter break for a week and a half and today, he spent the whole day at Jonny's office. Jonny had only planned to take him in for a couple of hours but since Daniel did so well, they ended up staying for the entire work day! 

 

Let me let Jonny fill you in:

 

He was very excited to see the new building, go through the metal detectors and security, and loved the office space I found for him - an empty cubicle across from my desk. He was very good, coloring Star Wars, Power Rangers and the Avengers, and then did a very good job explaining to my colleagues the back story behind his coloring! He got on especially well with one of my colleagues who is a Star Wars buff and had a small R2D2 toy, and then learned from her all about Doctor Who and the Daleks. All in all a great day and I was very proud to bring Daniel to the office and show him off!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Luke at 2 Months!

Our angel baby is almost 3 months old! We can't believe how quickly it has gone by... Here are some photos of Luke that I took throughout the past month, to remember him at 2 months of age.
