More Art by Ethan

My previous post, showcased some of the children's art work. Here is a recent collection done by Ethan.

It is really good to have a certified Art Teacher in school to co-ordinate the art work. When you walk around the school, you see wonderful pieces of art adorning the classroom walls. I don't remember being able to do such wonderful pieces of art when I was six. Heh heh.

Baby Thaddeus has arrived!

Baby Thaddeus' due date is 19 Aug 2008, and he really arrived on the exact date!

The name, Thaddeus, is of Greek origin, and means "Gift of God". It is also a Biblical name, and the name of one of the 12 disciples. Short forms to it could be "Tad", "Thad", "Tadeo"...

He has a bit of jaundice, but is otherwise feeding well.

The siblings are really excited to have him around, and are always eager to interact and play with him. They were all clamouring to carry him the first time they saw him.

Kids...they are a joy to the family.

Cycling around the Neighbourhood

It's sad but true. My kids have very little outdoor time due to my tendency to prefer the indoors and the coolness at home. Weather is too hot these days.

So on a rare Sunday morning, while the sun was still shaded by the nearby condo, I got my kids out to cycle around the neighbourhood. They promptly brought their gear out, and took turns cycling on the different bicycles we had - from junior (toddler type) to the big boy type (with trainer wheels).

Looks like they enjoyed themselves, while I watched and took photos. Couldn't possibly run around with them with my additional 14kg weight.
