Our Butt-Kicking Kindergartener!

Johno is all grown up and started elementary school this August. One month into school and he's already a busy kindergartener - juggling school, Judo practice, and kid's club at church.
He's loving it!

All set to leave for his first day at school!

Standing in line to "pay" for breakfast... Showing us where he's classroom is.
His kindergarten classroom.
This was how he said goodbye. No tears, no drama. Just "Bye, mum. Love you! Have a nice day."
Clearly a beginner - Posing with Karate moves on Judo turf...
Let's hope Sensei doesn't see this!

2 and 4 Already! They are growing up so fast!

Happy Birthday, Sweethearts!
The boys just had their birthdays last month and with John and I just celebrating our 5th wedding anniversary this week, it just hit us that our little boys are not quite babies anymore, but are growing up to be really fine young gentlemen.
Ryan has been melting many hearts with his unbelievably high EQ and is learning incredibly fast too.



Books are his love. Words are his gifts. May God use him to touch many lives with his warm smiles and endearing ways.



Johno is a loyal friend who earns the trust and adoration of many of his peers. Always forgiving and ever so protective. May God continue to teach him to love and be a blessing to those around him.



We love you, Johnathan and Ryan!
Grow up to be the sweethearts you always have been!

Johnathan's Prayer

This happened a few weeks back but I thought that Christmas week will be the perfect time to share this story:

Every night at bedtime, Mummy Grace will say a prayer by the children's beds. As Mummy says her prayer, her two lovely boys, Johnathan and Ryan, will listen quietly with their hands clasped together.

Mummy's prayers always start with thanking God for His provision and for all the wonderful blessings of the day. She then prays for God to watch over the children as they sleep and to bless them with a safe and fruitful day when they wake. Mummy then closes her prayers by praying for the health, joy and safety of their family members near and far. Johnathan and Ryan always know when to proclaim "Amen" together with Mummy at the end of the prayer. They then go to bed smiling, knowing that Jesus will be watching over them.

One calm and quiet night, as Mummy was about to end her nightly bedtime prayer, little Johnathan decided to say his first own prayer all by himself. What a pleasant surprise! Out of his tiny mouth came a loud and confident utterance.

"Thank you God. We ate dinner and eat apple... and shower and go potty and brush teeth. We sleep... then sun come up in the morning, we wake up... eat breakfast and wear clothes and go to school! I pray for... Grandpa and Grandma and Yaya and Jiu Jiu and Jiu Ma and... and..."

Johnathan then paused and looked up at Mummy for prompts to end his prayer. Mummy helps with a simple, "and all our friends and family! In Jesus' name we pray..." And Johnathan ends with a contented, "Amen!"

A prayer so simple yet so clear, with such innocence and from the heart. Mummy was extremely proud of little Johnathan, and God was surely too. It was indeed a very special night.

Have a very blessed Christmas, everyone!

A Different Halloween

This year, instead of trick-or-treating on the streets, we spent the night in church instead. We all had a great time! It was a safe night of meaningful activities, food, and loads of treats (which you know will not be dangerous items or spiked candy)!

Both kids and parents were thrilled!

We also went to the pumpkin patch as usual. But what's new this year was that Johno asked to ride on the kiddy merry-go-round. It was supposed to be innocent but it turned out to be pretty scary!

Happy Halloween!

Spoilt in Singapore!

It was a month full of fun, food, friends and family!

The boys were showered with love, hugs, toys, treats, and kiddy rides galore, while their parents showered themselves with dates, shopping, great food, and being babied for a change. It's hard to put all the fun, joy and love in words, but in a nutshell -
WE WISHED IT DIDN'T HAVE TO END!


Endless games and rides
Lots of outings and exploration

Spending time with everybody's sweetheart - Yaya

Shop till we drop


Eat till we sleep
