October 18 - Fireworks Party, Matt's real birthday, School field trips, TIS Walk-A-Thon

Sorry everyone - I have been working at Matt's and today is my first day off in 14 days.  We are working at Studio City and it is opening soon and needless to say it has been hella busy.

There was a random typhoon day a few weeks ago  - so I set up the bouncy castle in the house!  Sophia squealed, "I love this very much!"

Oct 1 - we had a fireworks party for Matt's office.  It was really fun!  Matt made Wisconsin brats boiled in beer - a huge hit!  And the bouncy castle came out again:

Amazing Ruby is in the castle with the kiddos!

Matt's work birthday!

Kids love making rainbow cakes!  Here they are in process with Daddy's:

Matt's birthday night dinner - Charlotte posed us:

Fun times at SCC:

And finally - rainbow cake the day after Matt's birthday!

Kids had school trips to Coloane:

And one day they went with J&J to Kids' City:  I love that my girls can embrace the pants:

Then there was the TIS Walk A Thon on a very warm October morning.  Char wanted me to run with her and Sophia wanted nothing to do with me and just ran ahead of me:

Lovely Claudia and Lucas:

The sweatshirt was just there for pocketing purposes:

Speed demon:

Finally - today we went to dim sum and Luigi told stories to a rapt kiddie crowd:

October 1 - Back to Macau life - School, Mid-Autumn Festival, Matt's birthday, Bon Jovi and Shrekfast

Ok - finally I can catch up to life - our IRL - Macau!

First day of school - We are in Wisconsin/Minnesota.  The girls are at the zoo!

Real first day of school - Sept 9 I think.  We attempt first day of school photos - and fail!  This year it is Charlotte's jet lagged moment:

Very little time to expose this one correctly:

We love Char's new uniform - so flattering!

I went to Hong Kong to celebrate Hong Kong Disneyland's 10th Anniversary.  Here is Joe G:

Christa!  So great to catch up - probably after 10 years!

With Theresa and Ruff:

Sophia is being reintroduced to the concept of napping:

Here is our project - the WB Fun Zone!  Here with Emi and Kei:

We had Mid Autumn Festival Day at TIS.  These TISPA events are always great because they always smell of amazing grilled onions!  Here are some shots (none of Sophia's lantern - it was right under the serving table.  And Sophia was being clingy and pulling down my dress):

Jason and his K-pop haircut:

Char's lantern:

The ever cooperative Sophia.  This reminds me I need to travel with gummy bears:

Dress down day at school - this time Sophia had no time for pictures:

Last weekend I held a surprise birthday party for Matt at La Cucina Italiana - coinciding with the Bon Jovi concert day (which was so incredibly fun - wow!).  We actually surprised him!

We made balloon animals:

Hockey puck cake!

Emi was the winner!

At Bon Jovi:

Here is the new rhythm guitarist - he was so lovely!

Then we went to Shrekfast on Mid Autumn Festival Day:

Sophia does not like the cookie - only the frosting:

Char loves this noodle soup!

And then Jen and Mathieu hosted us swimming - thanks guys!
