Preschooler Collin

Collin at 3 years and 5 months (a day after Aaron's birthday bash at home!)...

Happy first birthday, Aaron!

We cannot, cannot, cannot believe that it's been full 12 months since this other guy arrived in the world! @_@

Happy first birthday, Aaron!

We are so happy and glad that you're ours and we love you so so so much! We thank God for you every day!

Christmas (card) pictures in November

The day I took over 60 pictures within minutes in order to get that one good enough photo to make it to our annual Christmas cards...

(The very bottom one is the winning photo. How fantastic is it that Collin had someone right next to him to take the pictures with!)

A very merry Christmas and a happy and blessed New Year to everyone! Thank you for your love!

Happy fella

Hello, there, curious happy little man!

Best friends for life

From now on, Collin will always, always have a playmate that he doesn't ever have to say good-bye to. A sidekick and accomplice and best friend for life.

Aaron H. S. has arrived and is here to have some serious fun!!!

Glorious summer sun

Collin took his first official trip (staying for a couple of days and all) to the beach this summer. What a milestone! ;-)

Wildwood Crest in New Jersey is an absolute family haven, we're definitely going there again next year.

I absolutely love this picture of Sung and Collin basking in the glorious summer sun. The look of sheer delight on Collin's face is so classic.

I know most people do, but I especially love summertime. A LOT. It's probably because I'll always be an island girl at heart no matter what. (Does everyone know that the Philippines is an island country, archipelago for those who are more familiar?) :-)

Happy to be out shopping

Here is Collin at 20 months.

Just four more and he's two! Amazing how fast these folks grow up...
