Reds and Oranges...

I love the colors of reds and oranges.... It just feels so alive.

The first time I saw the trees turned orange, I was awestruck. I read them in countless books and saw them in pictures but never in front of me and it was really beautiful.

It never cease to amaze me even if it is my third (or was it already the fourth?) time to see them turn their colors this year...

Just love them!

I caught the best time yesterday when we went for a class. There were a lot of people with their cameras and tripods while I only got my compact one inside my bag. 

I still tried. I did caught some nice pictures of Kimi :) woohoo!

Thanks to my favorite subject :)

Kimi and Kenzo 2010... finally!

I have been procrastinating.... and finally, after reading Kelly Korner's Show Us Your life - How do you scrapbook/keep kids art work?, I was finally inspired to do the final step of making a hard copy of our pictures... I have been doing bits and pieces of my kid's pictures but it was always saved in cd as a backup and posted in my blog but I have nothing to show for if there is no computer around. I promised myself to do a baby book for each kid but up to now, NADA! So, it was a start that I was finally able to print out a collection of their pictures of year 2010... Okay, so... 2007, 2008, 2009 and of course, 2011 are next... Good luck to me :)


I started with 2010 just for the fact that I already had the collage of their pictures done before so I only need to upload them and have it printed. I need a copy to keep me motivated and I am so happy to get that in the mail yesterday! I just had it done a couple of days ago upon reading Kelly`s entry.... a fast delivery is definitely a plus for me plus the quality was good :)

I did each page by month. A month for Kimi and a month for Kenzo

Call of the Wild

I started doing this without a layout in mind, I love how it turned out in the end... Sort of like a scrapbook in a table kind of layout...

My Little Bee-bee

Little Bee is getting some sleep before the trick or treat...

I have always thought that Kimi is a pretty active baby and dressing her up to be a bumble bee fits her personality right to a T.

With Golden orange yellow wings and sparkles to complete her outfit. She clutches her little bee stuff toy which complemented her whole costume perfectly.


She was so excited going from store to store opening up her bag for it to be filled with goodies. She holds on to the bag of goodies so possessively...


Mommy follows consciously holding onto her bulging stomach but excited to be able to experience another trick or treat with her favorite little bee-bee...

Fly me to the moon...

Anything we can give you, we would...

That is how much papa and mama loves you

"Fly me to the Moon"
Frank Sinatra

Fly me to the moon
Let me play among the stars
Let me see what spring is like
On a-Jupiter and Mars
In other words, hold my hand
In other words, baby , kiss me

Fill my heart with song
And let me sing for ever more
You are all I long for
All I worship and adore
In other words, please be true
In other words, I love you

Fill my heart with song
Let me sing for ever more
You are all I long for
All I worship and adore
In other words, please be true
In other words, in other words
I love ... you

Papa... are you....?

Kimi loves her papa so much. Every morning when she wakes up, she looks at the side of the bed where her daddy lies at night and says "PAPA, ARE YOU?"

I wish she would always be this sweet and happy with us... I know that soon she will have her circle of friends and she will expand and spread her wings, but for now, I will cherish my little baby while we are still her world.

WE LOVE YOU LITTLE KIMI

Sweet Girl...

I've always wanted a little girl that i can call my own and when I think of my little Kimi, I always associate her with all the nice things God has created...

That was one of the reason why I created a candy party for her baptismal party on her 5th month before we left for Canada. She is everything sweet and nice in our life that makes every day something to look forward to...

We went to Steveston last Sunday and decided to stop at a shop there for some ice cream treat and when I saw her enjoying the ice cream with the Candy Aisle logo as her background I decided to make her a candy layout for one of her digital photo page :)

What are little girls made of?

What are little girls made of?
Sugar and spice,
And all that's nice;
That's what little girls are made of.

Graceful and Poised

I just love how Kimi look in this photo. She looks so natural and carefree with the view of the buildings behind her... This was taken during one of our regular playdates at Auntie Sarah's condo.

Destressing by creative outlet

Whenever I feel stressed or sad, I always do scrapbooking when I was young and whenever I see or cut out those pictures for my scrap page, I remember all those wonderful memories in the pictures and I feel better.

Now that digital scrapbooking is easier without scissors and glues, just a click of the mouse and a program and voila!

Our C.G. Brown pool adventure in a digiscrap page :)


...the best part? I feel oh so much better afterwards :)
