The Changs Meet Ellen

The Changs came to town to visit baby Ellen for the first time. It was nice getting the kids together and hanging out at Auntie Ami & Uncle Daniel's condo, especially with a playroom complete with mini-putt for the boys! They're moving to a new house soon though, so their little one can have a room all to herself. Thanks for the great but short visit, Eileen & Jouks, and we'll see you sometime during the holidays, I'm sure! :)

Ellen @ One Week

We visited the Chengs on Friday evening since Paul had yet to meet baby Ellen. She's such a cutie pie and is very well-behaved for her mommy and daddy. Yay for easy-going babies! hehe. :)

Aunt Carol's Birthday

After visiting the cemetery, we all gathered at Aunt Deborah's house for dinner. Thanks to the Basso family and Aunt Lynn for preparing a dinner for 18 (!!!) and fitting us all on one table too! We also decided to have an early birthday celebration for Aunt Carol. She is always so thoughtful with remembering other people's birthdays, so we wanted to celebrate hers while she was in town. Happy birthday, Aunt Carol, and thanks for the great visit with Cousin Rosie. Have a great trip in Toronto and we look forward to seeing you again soon! :)







I gave Philip the camera again to practice his picture-taking skills. Tonight the focus seemed to be on extreme close-ups of everyone. These were the shots that actually had heads in the picture! hehe. :)

We Remember

Every year, we head to the cemetery to remember Uncle Bobby. He passed away just before Remembrance Day on November 8, 2004. We miss you, Uncle Bobby.

In the same cemetery is where Paul's dad is buried. I never got to meet this fine gentleman, but I thank him for giving me such a loving and wonderful husband. May you continue to rest in peace, Grandpa Phil.

Meet Ellen Alyssa Cheng

Auntie Ami and Uncle Daniel welcomed Ellen Alyssa Cheng to the world on Wednesday night. She weighed in at a healthy 6 lb 10 oz and mommy and baby are doing well. Congrats to the happy couple on their beautiful little princess and may you enjoy the many joys of parenthood combined with the many sleepless nights ahead! hehe. :)

Here's a little video we made just for the Chang family since they're still in the States. Our family just keeps growing and growing! :)
