Dear Chibi,

Happy Mid-Autumn Festival! Although this year we weren’t able to see our families and have a reunion dinner, we tried to continue the tradition at home. Moon Festival was always a really exciting time for me growing up as a kid, and I wanted P-chan to feel that joy and excitement too. This year we did some Moon Festival themed activities and listened to stories and songs. Of course, we played with lanterns and had moon cake!

Dear Chibi,

Spring is here in full bloom. We’ve had this peach blossom tree in our backyard for as long as we’ve lived here, yet it’s the first time I really noticed it. I guess we have been spending a lot more time in our backyard this year. Isn’t it so beautiful? We decided to capture more memories together on this beautiful warm day.

Dear Chibi,

Happy Fathers Day to my incredible Hubby <3 We love you lots!

Dear Chibi,

Another year younger…who’s keeping count? ;) My birthday landed on a Friday this year, but Hubby made sure I still had my favourite type of breakfast~ Waffles with oreo icecream served with hot hojicha..yummmm…what a way to start the day! ^.^ <333

My dinner request was a no-brainer~ SUKIYAKI :DDD The cold has made it particularly awesome this year.

Hubby surprised me with this gorgeous Banana Caramel Cake from Patisserie New York. So delicious and pretty!! *_* The macaron..oh my.

Dear Chibi,

Happy 2nd birthday to our Hungry Little Caterpillar :3 He’s growing up to be a very kind, gentle boy and I hope he knows how much Mummy and Daddy loves him <3

P-chan has always enjoyed Eric Carle’s illustrations and is particularly fond of the Very Hungry Caterpillar. Maybe it’s because it loves to eat, but most likely because it’s green – his favourite colour. I chose this book as his party’s theme to reflect this innocent time of his life…toddlerhood :)

Dear Chibi,

My sweet little P-chan, look how much you’ve grown! So curious and full of excitement and wonder…You really gave Daddy a big workout, didn’t you? :) Thank you Hubby for these beautiful photos and memories we’ll cherish forever.

Dear Chibi,

It’s been a while since we’ve taken P-chan out to Darling Harbour :) We spent this long weekend Saturday enjoying the Darling Quarter playground and he loved it! The water play section was definitely a hit. He had such a great time and the weather was perfect for it ^.^

~Young Mikayla had a farm, ee i ee i o~

Dear Chibi,

Today we celebrated our dear little Mikayla’s 2nd birthday! Mich & Troy threw her a very adorable farm-themed party with the birthday girl wearing a mini farmers outfit. The crew mostly came in matching flannels and P-chan of course had to come as a piggy :3 Everything was so cute and well thought out. Thank you Mich & Troy for organising such a fun party and having us be part of this day!

Dear Chibi,

This morning we took P-chan to a easter breakfast event held by Lidcombe Shopping Center. There was face painting, a kids magic show and of course a meet and greet with the Easter Bunny (he’s kinda creepy though lol). Newway & Alex also attended the event, so P-chan had some cute company :) It was a pretty fun, enjoyable morning.

Digging right in!!

SO MANY SWEETS. P-chan was having the time of his life 8D

Dear Chibi,

On this beautiful calm day, we whipped out the bubble wand and watched little P-chan’s face light up in awe :) There is something magical about bubbles, even if it lasts for a fleeting moment. Simple.. yet so mesmerising.
