Thanksgiving 2009

Sorry it’s taken me so long to post pictures from Thanksgiving.  This year was especially fun since we have a new baby in the family and we also decided to do a huge lunch at my aunt’s house.  There were about 50 of us!  For dinner, both sides of our family came over to our place.  I made the turkey for both events. I think they came out pretty good :)   I can’t believe it’s the end of the year already.

Dinner at our place.  It’s Haan Guang with both grandmas and Cadence insisted on wearing her chicken costume to show everyone.  How funny!

Helping in the Kitchen

We’re trying to train her early to be a good cook.  Maybe by the time she’s 5 or 6, she’ll be able to cook us a meal.  How nice would that be?

Fall in New England

We love where we live right now.  It’s just down the street from the Charles River and has a great pathway for us to run and take long walks.  Cadence and I try to run together around the Charles 3 times a week (well, I push her in the jogging stroller), which is great considering when we were in New Haven I never exercised. 

Even though winter is right around the corner, we are trying to enjoy fall as much as possible.  Look at the beautiful foliage.

Halloween

For Halloween this year, we were invited to one of Cadence’s friend’s house for pizza and then trick or treating with the other kiddies.  I think this is the first year that Cadence is fully understanding the concept of Halloween and what it’s all about.  There were big boys (6 and 7 yrs old) that were dressed up at Darth Vader and Darth Maul and they totally freaked her out.  She ran to me and made me carry her and if we were not around, she just ran to another parent and had them hold her.  It was pretty funny (I know, so mean).

What do you think about her chicken costume?  First time putting something like this together…it took me a few weeks because I kept putting  it off and just did it a little at a time.  I kept it in case anyone else wanted to borrow it next year!

So Smart

Cadence loves Olivia the pig (so do we) thanks to Coco Yee Yee who bought her all the Olivia books.  To top the obsession off, we also bought her the Olivia series book on tape.  It’s actually a great CD and I totally would recommend it.  Sucheng and I both really enjoy listening to it, even though we’ve heard it already for the 100th time.  It’s great for the days we drive down together to New Haven.

Anyways, one day we were driving home from Target…

Cadence: Mama, I want to listen to Olivia

Mama: Cadence, remember we said that we need to share the radio?  We listened to Olivia already earlier today.  And plus I really like this song, so I’d like to finish listening to it first.

Cadence:  But Mama, by the time this song ends, we’ll be home.

Mama – speechless.  When did she figure all this out??  Can’t get anything pass kids these days.

Can It Be the End of Diapers?

Cadence has been potty trained for about 8 months now, but only during the day.  It wasn’t until this past weekend did she start napping and going to bed at night in her underwear as well.  Wow!  I can’t believe we’ve been diaper free for 5 days now.  How does it feel?  Great – for both parties.  Cadence said it’s much more comfy sleeping without diapers…such a smart girl.  Anyone need size 5 diapers?
