Away

Hello, miss hearing from us? We have been missing in action in blog-land recently due to being away on business trips. First, it was Tim's trip to Japan for 10 days. A day after he got back, I went to Singapore for 1 day. A week later, I went on another business trip for 12 days, some highlights of the trip are shown in pictures below.

But wait, I have to tell you about our kids :) They are really growing up so fast! Case in point: when Tim was away, Ian learnt to crawl a few paces and his first tooth surfaced. Then when I was away, Ian learnt to crawl very far and fast, had his 3rd tooth out, learnt to pull himself up on his knees, and starting saying 'Da da di da'. Our baby is developing fast and the parents can hardly catch up.

Shanna is quite a talker, at home at least. She can write quite a number of alphabets and also read up to Peter & Jane 1B. Tomorrow we will start on 2A :) She drinks milk from the cup once a day, her preference still being her bottle. Her interests now are on body functions (sweat glands, skin pores, scars, etc), PlayDoh, pattern/shape toys & for some reason, nursery rhymes! Despite our efforts, she does not like to sit still for writing/coloring/activity books. She will work on it for 5-10 minutes then move on to other toys (so unlike her Mummy who used to love to write & color...).

I changed my mind, I will post pictures of the kids instead and save trip pictures for the next post hehe :P I'm sure you don't mind :)

One rare family picture

Father & son @ church

Look alike?

Only time to get his diaper on peacefully is when the TV is on.

Like father, like children. 3 pairs of eyes riveted on the TV screen.

This was at PCC carnival (yes, that's baby Esther at the right in the background)
