Holiday Cheer


All too quickly we've come to the end of 2011. Vera got a really pretty hairclip from Auntie Sher of Offsprings fame. I've been looking around for nice hairclips that don't pinch the hair but in vain (okay I've only shopped at the only store in Punggol.) Thanks Sher!


This other gift was a surprise - from a mummy who follows this blog, Stephanie. You'll be pleased to know that Vera enjoys it very much! It's perfect for us actually. She can entertain herself while we take a break : )


Meanwhile, we've been asking Daen to "teach chea chea" how to do things. Here he holds her hand and presses it on the piano.


Vera looking up to her 'big' brother (who's already graduated to a toddler bed). She looks shorter because of her weaker muscle tone in her back, but they are actually the same height now. Looking at this picture makes all the busyness worth it.

May, both the kids are so big now. My goodness, where does time go? They are both such beautiful children. I am glad to see Vera looking so well. Happy New Year!

How I love the comment of her brother teaching her the piano. I can't imagine the bond they are forging. The picture of them sitting in the bed is precious. Annabel's back is really becoming weak and it make me so sad. She doesn't seem to want to sit like she use to. Praying that Vera stays well!

Dear May,

How wonderful for Vera to complete the year with an awesome smile. We are inspired to put on one too.

How wonderful for Daen to bond with her sister at Christmas time. We ought to do the same with one another.

What a challenging year for you and Ian. You more than just lived it. Thank you for sharing. Many of us are touched and wiser because you did.

Our love and warm wishes always.

Uncle Nick & family
