nobody@vox.com(Kat the Acrobat) — Sun, 04 Oct 2009 00:45:28 -0700

I still can't believe Grace is crawling (scooting...?) around so quickly now. Now exactly six months old, Grace knows the word "tickle" without me even having to raise a finger at her. She's also figured out how to cough for attention...sheesh....

Well, I'm pretty pleased to say that we're pretty much caught up in the many adventures we had this summer. I did manage to leave out a few excursions including the many trips to various playgrounds, our visit to the Gilroy Garlic Festival (it wa...

August proved to be a challenging month for the Chan Clan. Much of the month was dedicated to shows, conventions, long days, not enough sleep, and long drives throughout the state of California. On August 30th, we left the house at 6 AM and drov...

James is growing up equally fast. He's now 21 months old and getting into all sorts of trouble adventures. Can you believe this kid has been to Las Vegas three times now, and he's not even 2 years old yet?!?! This summer, James learned how to ...
