About Me

My photo
Thank you for visting my blog. When I started this blog, it was just the vehicle for which I had hoped to share photos of our life in Chicagoland with our loved ones, but it has turned into so much more for me. Life is ever evolving in our household and time no longer stands still. Every moment is precious and worthy of being captured and treasured. In addition, through my love of the camera, I have had the opportunity to meet and also capture moments in others' lives. It is my hope, with this blog, that when my memory fails me, the words and photos on this blog will remind of where we were. History...Through My Glass...

Lion Cub on Safari...


This is my new favorite picture. It was taken off of my cheap old point and shoot. He looks so innocent in this picture, which is the opposite of how he has been behaving. He has been such a little brat! Terrible twos...bring it on!

Lull...

It's been well over a month now since I started this blog. I am trying to phase out my other blog--it's a bit too high school-ish for me though I can't let go because a lot of family and friends use it and it's a great way to keep in touch informally. I think this forum will serve me better though, since I can access it from work.

These past couple of weeks have been heavenly for me at work. Finally, a lull in the constant work. I don't know what to do with my time! However, the start of the new quarter [for our group] starts next Monday. I will be in Tampa next week for our annual conference. No fun for me, but Choua and Roan will have a great time, I'm sure. I am leading a session at 7a in the morning. With the time change and the earlier time in Tampa, it'll feel like I'm getting up at 5a on a Monday morning.

I am still waiting for my Nikon D80 to be in stock. I've been waiting for just over a month now. I keep calling the store and they keep telling me that it's coming. I cannot wait! Since I sampled one, I have had no interest in using my old point and shoot. I've little or no pictures of DS lately. I'm told it'll be in stock in two weeks....

My little son is growing up. This morning I had to try four times to get his pj shirt off. He loves puppies and embroidered on the shirt is a cute doggie. He kept fighting me to keep it on. I finally got him to take it off on the fourth time and 2o minutes later. I was already sad, when I went to get him new pj's, since he's outgrowing the ones he has now, and the one for his age didn't have the cute cartoony dinosuars, but rather, the more real looking ones on them. You can't imagine how sad I was this morning when I learned that he has preference for clothes now.

I'll need to get a picture of him in his pj's and post it up. He is a so cute! ...especially with his puppies. I'll hear him making "MUAH!" sounds in the background and see him making out with his puppy.

Sick with Disappointment


I am sick! At least it is the weekend so I can recover. We've got a busy one though--a baptism and a birthday party. I still have some shopping to do.


Roan is still a little piggy. I don't know if I should just let him eat or if I need to start restraining him a little. I had to put a cap on three pancakes this morning for him. With all of this eating, he better be growing! I'll need to take a picture of his tummy tonight...it's so cute!


A couple nights ago, Choua and I took Roan to the mall so that he could play. As we are walking, Choua says to me, "I can't believe I'm one of those people now."


I say, "What do you mean by 'one of those people'?"


Choua says, "One of those people with kids."


I can't believe that almost two years into our son's life, he still is not used to be a parent. This is the same man that said, "It's like we're babysitting." Not to me, Mister! I wonder how long it will take for him to finally "get used" to it. He also expressed to me after learning that he'd have to work the later shift on Thursday that he didn't want to do it (normally, he works earlier so I take Roan into daycare and he picks Roan up from) because he still has to get up at the same time in the morning because Roan does. I am so disappointed...seriously! I'm going to return my husband to the husband store.


I just don't get it! Isn't this face enough to melt your heart?

Little Son...


...oh how I wish the world will always be safe and kind to you. You have such a sassy little innocence about you. It makes me love you all the more. It makes you all the more...mine. I love you the most!

The First

Just checking to make sure it works.
