(5)

Before Christmas, Kyun and Connie took us out to a nice Christmas/Pre-baby dinner at Canlis. It was probably the nicest restaurant I've ever been in my life, also, the most extraordinary dining experience I've ever had. (They pulled out my chair for me after I came back from the restroom...)

Connie and Kyun looking good with stunning view in the back.

My first time trying foie gras! mmMMMmm.

Kyun and Connie left for Bahamas cruise for Christmas, so Ko stayed with us for a week.

Koko just turned 12 this year. He loves Chinese food...and you talk to him in Chinese mostly. He melts my heart by standing by the bedroom door every night watching me to get ready for bed. He won't go to sleep unless Gary and I are both lying in bed. He peed our bathroom floor twice...and he slouches and bends his head because he knows he did something wrong. (and I think he feels bad seeing Gary squatting on the ground scrubbing the pee stain with tons of paper towel.)


I finally started sewing a couple days ago. Since I'm only a beginner, I chose to start with felt, a thicker, stiffer fabric that I thought should be easier to manage compare to normal medium weight cotton. (and it looks more acceptable if I leave the stitches on the outside with felt, too.) I used interfacing for the front, bottom and the back, in between the oak and brown felt. I like the feeling of sewing by hand but it was tough to keep everything lined up well and professional. (That is a cosmetic bag in the picture if you can't tell ;)


This picture is taken on the day after Christmas. I'm proud to say I've gained 30 lbs over the past 37 weeks, but also can't wait to shed them off soon (hopefully :) We spent roughly two weekends to clean and set up the baby room. Now the guest room is taken over by Zoey's crib, changing table, and all sorts of other baby stuff. It's supposed to make her coming more of a reality but everything seems to get more surreal to me as this pregnancy is coming to an end. I think that's a sign for her to hurry up and come out already, so I can post a new family picture, family of 3. :)
