This past Halloween was Kaitlyn’s 2nd Halloween. Last year, she was a hot dog & she hated the outfit. Not because it’s a hot dog, but because it has no pant legs. Yes, she was only 9 months old but she was already standing up & starting to walk.
This year, she’s a cat. Although this one has legs, she didn’t really like wearing it either, but for the most part she was OK with it. It might be because she got to wear it once at a church Halloween party, a few days before Halloween. This year, we took her to Queens to her grandparents’ house & trick-o’-treated there.
Here are some pix from the party & Halloween night: Continue reading ‘Halloween Pix’

Just a couple of pictures we took on Mother’s Day (yup, 3 weeks ago!). We both wore new dresses.

The Brooklyn NY Stake has finally decided to release me from my calling as Stake Young Women’s Counselor after 5 1/2 years. No more Youth Conferences, Stake Auxiliary Trainings, Super Saturdays, or monthly meetings. I hate to admit that I’m breathing a sigh of relief. I’ve worked with 3 different presidencies and everyone was released but me. I wondered what it was that I was doing that God wanted me to stay. I don’t think I did that great of a job. I hardly ever visited the wards I was in charge of. But that was because I knew that they were doing a spectacular job (and I was TOO lazy to travel there). Well I think it’s time for a break. I’ve got a newborn baby that I’m still getting used to and I think I may be needed elsewhere. Who knows what God has in store for me.
Anyway, Kaitlyn has been sleeping wonderfully the last few nights, although she kept us up until 1 AM. She hasn’t been sleeping too well during the day, like she’d wake up after about 15-30 minutes after we put her down. But yesterday, she had tons of visitors and she pretty much slept the whole time they were here. Ether kept trying to wake her up but she wouldn’t budge. It was like she was under a spell. She finally decided to wake up and drive us nuts when they all left. =/
Around 11 PM last night, Ether put her in her crib to go to sleep but she was so fussy. It sounded like fake crying & we knew that she just wanted to be held cuz she already ate and was changed. He stayed next to her and talked to her, but didn’t pick her up. She kept crying and he would put the paci in her mouth but she would spit it out and cry louder. After this struggle for about 30 minutes, she finally gave up and fell asleep with the paci in her mouth. She didn’t wake up until like 1 and after that feeding, she didn’t wake up for another 3 hours. So we got some sleep last night! We didn’t even have to put on the white noise. She was relatively easy to take care of last night. We hope that she will continue to do this every night. (wishful thinking)

My church friends threw me a baby shower on Saturday. It wasn’t exactly a surprise. I had little hints here and there. It was nice though. My grandma came so both my aunts could come too. My mom ordered food and we had a good time. The baby got lots of good gifts. Mostly clothes and diapers. =D (Thanks everyone!)

- Me and my girl Angela.

I’m wearing the hat Angela made me from the ribbons and wrapping paper. (haha Grandma refused to smile and even turned away cuz she didn’t want to take a pic. =D)

Stake Youth Conference was this past Friday & Saturday. Since Mel is in the Stake Young Women presidency, we were both there all day both days. It was especially stressful for her & the Stake YW presidency this year, because just a couple of months ago the Young Men presidency was released. So pretty much everything was up to the ladies to plan & organize.
The theme (or whatever you call it) this year was “Mini MTC.” So, the youth went through the whole process of applying to go on a mission. They were all interviewed by their bishops, got their mission calls in the mail, and were assigned companions on the first day. Kids were called to Brazil, Russia, Mexico, Portugal, Spain, and with Clement & I in the stake, they were able to have kids go on Cantonese-speaking mission (Hong Kong) as well. 
We had a great group of kids, 4 elders & 4 sisters. Even though they are just kids, they still tried to behave like real missionaries for the most part. I have to say, I’m also really impress with their ability in picking up the language. They only had a total of 2 hours of language instructions in 2 days, but they were able to retain much of what they were taught at the end of it. We’re talking about 20-plus vocabulary. That’s pretty impressive! It’s not something that happen often even at the real MTC!
I definitely don’t mind doing it again…well, I guess only if we’ll receive more help & support from all the wards & branches than what we had!
