Maya's 3rd Bday Party




On Saturday Feb 11th, we celebrated Maya's 3rd birthday. A little early, but her bestest friend Leo was off to Australia the following morning for a few weeks and what would a bday party be without your BFF!
What a great day it was! Filled with face painting, tattoos, balloon making, a surprise visit from Big Aussie Bob and band, snacks, cake and most importantly, great friends! The biggest thanks goes to our own Asing Idol for the amazing serenade of Maya's own song! What 3-year-old has had a song written especially just for them??? What an amazing memory she will have for the rest of her life.
Thanks everyone for making our little angels' day as miraculous as she is!

Singapore Sans Children

Our new pals Jon and Laura joined us for a fun-filled weekend at the nearby glamorous Singapore. My wonderful husband surprised me at Christmas with tickets to see "Wicked" at the famous Maria Bay Sands Hotel (the one that looks like it has a boat on top). He and Jon planned the weekend entirely including flights, hotels and restaurants. It was such a nice change not to play travel agent! We spent the weekend shopping, walking (I know, what a novelty!), eating X2 (there was a lot of this) and occasionally sipping on a few cocktails. And all this while being able to hold more than a 1 minute conversation without hearing "Noooo", "I don't want", "MOMMY!!!". Despite Maya not being around, she still managed to take home the most gifts from Singapore. Thanks guys for a great weekend!
