The month of May is voted the Most Rejoicing Month in the family. There's 3 birthdays, Mother's Day, and a Wedding Anniversary.
She said I always say the same thing every 31 May...that my mum refused to be a granny (seems so old to have that title) many years ago, but now she enjoys her grandchildren and has been Ah Ma for eleven years already! How Ashlynn has marvellously grown!! She is 11 today.
Birthday breakfast (choc chips with kiwi fruit pancake) from Chrisa & Nat & Mum
HAPPY BIRTHDAY to our gorgeous gal!!!
Every birthday is a reminder of God's precious gift of life in the family.

It was very late at night when we came home recently. Our eyes caught an unusually beautiful sight of the road right where our house is...a very brightly covered pathway as our vehicle light shone against the road. It was entirely draped with fallen yellow flowers (which I don't even remember the name - *so embarassed*). This is the first time after staying in this neighbourhood for 12 years we've seen such beautiful scenery. The whole road - length and width was gloriously covered in yellow. Too bad couldn't capture the night scene.
The tampered road in the day time after washed by busy zooming vehicles.
Chrisa enjoying the flowers at the sidewalk
Thrilled by the simple wonder of God's art work.
Ashton in touch with nature - the most natural and absolutely interesting learning experience.
The earth is the Lord's, and everything in it, the world, and all who lived in it...

Who says bible study is boring? We tried different methods as the children grow.
With time constraint now, we try to keep it simple. The girls always look forward to - digging into God's Word.
Here's one very special moment for Mum & Daughters as we squeezed time to worship, pray, eat and have fun in the presence of God...
Always be happy. Never stop praying. Give thanks whatever happens. This is what God wants for you in Christ Jesus. (1 Thes.5:16-18)
Reliving my childhood :)
The Queen of the Land of Joy had a royal banquet with the princesses of faraway land. Meet the princesses...
Princess Charlotte of Spain
Princess Nellie of Netherlands
Princess Aranea of Norway
Our royal food...
yummy Betty Crocker's mashed potato, Arthur's Organic Pasta & Cheese, Eggs with mixed veges...washed down with grape juice (or was it Ribena that we used? :)
Instead of Just Mom and Me Having Tea by Mary Murray (a book gift from Aunty Christina to Nat), we decided to adopt a similar idea but a grander feel...so we really dress up :)
Girls just wanna have fun - and we did! Wholesome fun in the Lord.
(Note of thanks to Christina for the book. Very simple but gives/sparks ideas and allow us to share our hearts. Also, for me to add in personal touch in writings for each of the girls. I know this is for Nat but she agreed to let us all discuss the book together. She's always so kind.)
In case you are looking for the Queen's pic...erm...she was also the camera woman :) but yes, she was grandiously dressed up too.

"I'm sick of my baby biscuits."
"Gimme one of yours...cream crackers. Now you see it..."
Now you don't! Umm.
Ashton is exploring new taste and texture in food. Been grabbing food from our platters and refusing his own!

Everyday Chrisa bounces off endless mental output from her little mind...which isn't actually little at all since she amazes us with an assortment of mind-boggling input as well as many which require intelligent responses. They all come in various forms - questions, riddles, silly songs, funny rhymes, witty remarks and etc. Not to mention some serious theological questions.
I can't get this one out of my mind since yesterday...
If anyone can give her a satisfying answer, I will give you a good treat the next time I see you...
Q: Why do people say, " You get on my nerve...and not...you get on my brain or vein??"
