Immi is THREE! How amazing is that!? She wanted sushi of course, so that’s what we got on her birthday eve. She was excited about the spring roll.
We had quite ordinary (though still special!) day for her birthday since we can’t really top going to the beach! Immi had the bestest time with her ice [...]

We are on our way to the beach because it’s almost immi’s birthday and she loves the beach. It’s afternoon, and the drive lulled immi to sleep.
It’s a really beautiful beach, and it’s a beautiful day! We don’t even need a jacket.
Immi is splashing about at the edge of the ocean. I had no idea [...]

Happy End of the Year! We are having sushi at immi’s favorite place. She is no longer really cheap here though since she wants to look at the menu, and then grab whatever she pleases from the conveyor belt… She wanted blueberries and strawberries and creampuff along with her usual cucumber roll and miso-soup.
At the [...]

Immi and I are decorating gingerbread cookies (I got inspired by my friend who was building the most amazing gingerbread house. Hi Allie!! I didn’t bake these though, and they are person shaped because they were sold out of gingerbread house kits…). Immi is not much help, she just wants to eat the cookies.
Here Immi [...]

Happy Halloween!
We are going to the market.
Immi is trying out some pickles!
Immi’s tutu, witch’s hat, bag, and the black kitty all came in the box packed by her grandmom in Reston (Hi!!! She really loves the Meow!). I’m not exactly sure what her costume is with the sweatshirt and pink legwarmers (cute witch? 80’s inspired [...]

I just wanted wish Happy Mother’s Day to all of you who are a mom, a mom-to-be, or thinking-about-becoming-a-mom.
It’s a strange thing that having immi made me *entitled* to an extra holiday:D
Immi got me a “happy mother’s day” balloon a few days ago when she went grocery shopping with her dad. Todd insists she wanted [...]

We are decorating eggs at immi’s Grandmom’s.
Immi doodled on the eggs with white crayon and then they all went into the color baths. Two of them got dropped and cracked in the process.
Immi got really mad when there were no more eggs left to dye!
Now she is prettifying the eggs with Hello Kitty stickers.
…and [...]

It’s my birthday today. The BIG one in which I turn 30! When Todd asked me what I wanted to do for my birthday, I said “go yarn shopping in Alexandria!” (there is a cute little yarn shop called Knit Happens which I’ve never been to). Unfortunately, they are CLOSED on mondays! …so I picked [...]

I never really cared for Valentine’s day much. The first very memorable one is actually the one shortly after immi was born. Immi was born a day after her due date, but if she wasn’t willing, she was scheduled to be born on the February 14th (I’m happy she decided to join us on her [...]

Immi seems to enjoy eating assortment of things here. She is having broccoli with yummy dips now.
Around immi’s bedtime, our friend Jessica came over to work on [...]

Happy Birthday Immi!!
It’s hard for me to believe that immi is already 2! How amazing is that? She really isn’t a baby anymore. She can dress herself, knows of many songs that she loves to dance to, and recycles just like any other responsible citizen of our planet earth.
Immi used her potty yesterday! …well, sort [...]

We are celbrating immi’s birthday about 12 hours early this year (Sunday is a good day for party, don’t you think?). Here is immi digging right in to her cake by pulling the pony off and licking the whipped cream!
I didn’t bake the cake, we got it from a really cute and very tasty bakery [...]

At the very end of year 2008, immi was doing play-doh.
…and when 2009 happened, Immi was stretching out on a comfy chair having munchies.

We are at immi’s grandmom’s and we just finished brunch. We are hanging out in the living room and Immi is opening gifts.
We are now in the kitchen having some cookies. Immi is playing with her new baby doll from her grandmom, sort of. At the moment she is busy washing her own face with [...]

We are at ToysRus to get some diapers and to watch people do last minute holiday shopping. It’s really crowded here even though the store is closing early in less than an hour. Immi fell in LOVE when spotted this big plushie My Little Pony on the shelf. She dragged her off the shelf and [...]
