Happy Birthday, Kai Kai…Happy Birthday Kai Kai…Happy Birthday dear Kai Kai…Happy Birthday to you. We spent a nice and relaxed birthday at home where we had chicken adobo and salmon, and chocolate cake.  Ninang Eugenia came over, and so did Tita Goldie, Tita Lauren, Mateo, Tito Jose, and Paul's family. The party turned into a…

On Saturday, Auntie Liz took Cyn, Paul and Kai to the Big Apple Circus!  It was Kai and Paul’s FIRST time.  We had a blast.  We had front row seats, and at times, got startled by how close we were to the action!  Kai got a little nervous, when the huge horses gallopped in our…

Cyn, Paul and Kai came back to NYC on Thanksgiving Day!  They arrived at 8PM, just in time for the Thanksgiving Party! So excited that Cyn and Kai were here for Thanksgiving! If you didn't already know, Cyn is expecting a BABY GIRL on February 1, 2010!                                 Thanksgiving Feast!                             It was also Tita…

Cyn celebrated her birthday in Haiti this year — it was weird to not celebrate her special day with her.  But she'll be here on Thanksgiving! Can't wait. Happy Birthday, Cyn!!! Taken at Ninang Ardith's Arty Party

We all love Kai's kisses.  He's so affectionate! I can't believe my last post was August 18th! Soo bad.  Thanks Auntie Goldie for applying the pressure on me to post something.  Auntie Liz (aka "Bubba" to Kai) was in a show that took a lot of her time, but I know, I know, that is…

On your ENGAGEMENT! We can't wait to celebrate this new chapter in your lives.  We love you. Newly engaged, Ninang Shar and Nihar Kai loves his Ninang Shar and Tito Nihar. Ninang Shar loves to spoil Kai. Kai, don't put your hand in the tub o' ice cream! Thanks for sharing your hat with me,…

They're currently in Haiti right now, but back in NYC next week. I miss my Bubba so much! So, I just look at old photos of him and smile. I love how mischievous Kai looks!

I meant to blog about this way back when — July 18th.  One of the main reasons we love living in NYC is all the fun events that happen here — there's ALWAYS something going on every single day!  We knew Kai would love all the music at the African Music Festival in Brooklyn —…

Kai's racking up stamps on his passport! We travelled to Montreal this past weekend for a music festival that Boukman Eksperyans (his grandparents' and dad's band) performed in.  It was all of our 1st time there — Cyn, Paul, Auntie Liz, and Ninong Ray — Montreal is so beautiful and clean — so much history…

The Casasola clan just got back from our family vacation in Rio! Cyn, Kai, Ray, and I stayed for 10 days, and Lolo and Mommy Remy stayed for 2 weeks.  We had the time of our lives, visiting with good friends in Brazil, taking in the sun at Ipanema Beach, seeing the sights like Corcovado,…
