Cyn, Paul and Kai are back on the road again — flying back to Haiti. We had so much fun while they were here — it was such an action-packed visit. I miss them so much.  We'll see each other again in a couple of weeks for Christmas in LA!    All packed up Packing…

He's a healthy growing boy! Kai is always so happy during these doctor's visits — he seems to always forget he's about to get some shots.  This time he got 5 total shots! OUCH! Kai in the Waiting Room Vital stats: Kai weighs in at 17 pounds. Length: 29 inches.       Checking his eyes —…

As you know, we celebrated Kai's Birthday a week before his actual birthday.  On his real birthday, we wanted to take Kai to Chucky Cheese, but unfortunately, he had a cough and cold, so we thought it would be best to just stay indoors.  We set-up his favorite playmat, and opened up all his presents. …

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!  We had an intimate and relaxed Thanksgiving at home — Kai's 1st Thanksgiving.  Auntie Liz made the turkey (used Mommy Remy's famous Filipino-style recipe!) and stuffing again this year, and Mommy made her amazing "aipim" -  a Brazilian yucca dish filled with cream cheese, parmesan cheese, and heavy cream — it's like…

One of the great things about living in NYC is all the amazing events that happen here!  We checked out the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade Floats the day before Thanksgiving.  Lucky for us, the floats were lined up walking distance from our apartment! Kai loved seeing these huge balloons.  Can't wait to take Kai to…

This island boy is not used to this cold, cold NYC weather.  He's used to the warm, island climate of Haiti.  So, first on the agenda when he came back into town was to get him a whole new winter wardrobe! It's been around 30-some degrees over here. Brrrrrr.  He caught a cold/cough but he's…

What an action packed weekend! The day after Kai's Birthday party was Cyn's Birthday — she celebrated her 21st birthday….again.  🙂 We took her out to dinner to Talay Restaurant (yummy Spanish-Thai cuisine) and little did Cyn know what was in store for her afterwards.  She kept saying how it didn't feel like it was…

We celebrated Kai's 1st Birthday on Sat. Nov. 22nd — one week earlier than his actual birthday.  We couldn't celebrate on his real birthday (Nov. 29th) because most people would've been out of town for the Thanksgiving holiday, so we celebrated a week earlier! What a blast we all had!  We held his party in…

Mommy was in much need of a GNO (Girls Night Out) since getting back into NYC! She missed her girlfriends while in Haiti, so we scheduled some fun times for her. On Wednesday, Anne and I took Cyn out to Dizzy's — the best jazz club in the city! She had the time of her…
