My birthday at a local Malaysian food restaurant.

Selamat Hari Jadi!

School News

Another sign that our son is growing up.

Back to school. Alex first day with his teacher.

Alex is a little shy about his front teeth missing. We think he looks so adorable.

All work and no play?

Fall is in full swing beginning with a little overtime.

One Saturday, we went to David's work. My hubby working hard.

Alex helping Daddy out by watching one of his shows on the computer.

Hey - get back to work Mr. Nix! Alex knows how to mix business with pleasure.

HB Central Park Concert Summer 2010

An orchestra playing big band style music entertained the crowd.

Alex was distracted and wanted to play with the kids.

Here he is playing with the first Fall leaves.

Thank you God for a great Summer!

You belong in the Zoo

Highlights of Summer 2010. A day at the Santa Ana Zoo.

Keeping a close distance - do llama's spit?

David posing by the waterfall to keep cool.

We love those windmills.

A little monkey business in the cage.

Cool camel rides - but Alex preferred to watch.

Summer vacation is ending

2 more days until school starts.

Let's give them something to blog about

We finally made it out to Laguna Beach and the Festival of the Arts, where the Bright Sun painting Alex did was featured in a Junior Artist Exhibit. You may remember a few months ago, this painting was at MainPlace mall in Santa Ana with a bunch of his classmates' work as part of another children's art exhibit.

Well, this exhibit was much smaller, so Alex was one of only 2 people from his school selected. How awesome is that?!

Unfortunately, Alex was a bit of the tempermental artist today as we visited with David's parents and aunt. So he was a bit grumpy.

We tried to go last month with Mom and Tante Hanna, but Laguna Canyon Highway was jammed so we gave up and headed to San Juan Capistrano instead. This time we headed out before 10am to beat any crowds, which worked. As a featured artist, Alex got free admittance plus five guests, so everyone got in free!
