First Hair Cut
Erin's hair drop problem is so severe these few days, Ama has been asking us to get her hair cut. After much deliberation, it looks kind of ugly on her when the hair was disproportionately here and there.. so daddy and mummy brought Erin to her first hair shave in the salon.
Mummy also wanted to have a total face lift and she straighten her hair - see her happy face now, she finally get rid of her messy hair - for this time being.
Daddy also want to trim his hair, so the whole family except Adam has their hair cut the same day :-)

I Knew this question will be asked ...
One morning, when dear was bathing Erin..
Eden: Mum, where is Erin's penis (yes, he knows what is penis, we taught him the right word)
Mum: oh, she is a girl ma
Eden did not prob further, or else mummy really does not know how to explain further, and will leave this 'interesting' subject with daddy.
After finding out this amusing conversation, daddy must be equipped well for questions like this

Ps 29
Erin, which means Peace in Irish.. we dedicate this scripture to you for your full moon's celebration
Psalm 29
A Psalm of David.
1 Ascribe to the Lord, O heavenly beings,*
ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.
2 Ascribe to the Lord the glory of his name;
worship the Lord in holy splendour.
3 The voice of the Lord is over the waters;
the God of glory thunders,
the Lord, over mighty waters.
4 The voice of the Lord is powerful;
the voice of the Lord is full of majesty.
5 The voice of the Lord breaks the cedars;
the Lord breaks the cedars of Lebanon.
6 He makes Lebanon skip like a calf,
and Sirion like a young wild ox.
7 The voice of the Lord flashes forth flames of fire.
8 The voice of the Lord shakes the wilderness;
the Lord shakes the wilderness of Kadesh.
9 The voice of the Lord causes the oaks to whirl,*
and strips the forest bare;
and in his temple all say, ‘Glory!’
10 The Lord sits enthroned over the flood;
the Lord sits enthroned as king for ever.
11 May the Lord give strength to his people!
May the Lord bless his people with peace!

Full Moon 2
Daddy and Mummy threw a full moon party for this on Friday night, just only the LG members and close friends. Grandma is kind enough to cook her special curry for the party and mama well, just cooked the eggs for the guests:-)
It was a good time as Eden's godparents, turned out to be Darth Vaders - were intentionally on the line to chat with LG members - daddy definitely planned to include them in this special occasion.
We really thank God for friends that support and love us and God's love has been seen in them.
Thanks for coming and your love to us ....

In Chinese culture, a baby's first month birthday calls for a celebration. Proud parents introduce their latest addition to friends and relatives by holding a red egg and ginger party. Traditionally, the baby's name is also announced at this time.
Guests attending red egg and ginger parties bring gifts. Lysee or "lucky money" in red envelopes is often given to baby boys, while girls may receive expensive jewelry. The guests don't leave empty handed, either. The parents hand out red-dyed eggs, symbolizing happiness and the renewal of life.
Red egg and ginger parties have their origins in ancient Chinese culture. As in other countries, infant mortality rates in China were quite high prior to the medical advances of the twentieth century. A baby who reached one month of age was likely to survive, and so the event was celebrated.
Traditionally, this was also a time to reintroduce the mother to the world. The Chinese believe mothers are in a highly weakened state in the period immediately following birth. Just as English custom calls for new mothers to enjoy a brief period of confinement, Chinese mothers have traditionally been expected to rest indoors for one full month after giving birth. This helped ensure they didn't become overtired, or contract any germs or illnesses from the outside world that could prove dangerous in their weakened state. Besides resting, they drank a nutritious broth made with pig's feet, eggs, vinegar and ginger. Many new mothers still follow this ritual today.
In the past, due to the traditional importance of male children in Chinese culture, red egg and ginger parties were sometimes given for boys only, or the celebration for boys was more elaborate. Today, parties are given for babies of both sexes.
In recent years, some of the traditions surrounding red egg and ginger parties have been modified. Parents may choose to hold the celebration at a fancy restaurant, complete with costumed Chinese performers or even a children's magician. Also, the baby may be anywhere from one to three months old by the time the party is held. But the custom of passing out red-dyed eggs continues. Parents may also use the brightly colored eggs to announce the birth; an even number of eggs are sent out for a boy, and an odd number to announce a baby girl.
Hello, Do I look gorgeous in the picture for the packing box??? Daddy just like this packaging so much and luckily we did not go for Ayamas.
