Jacuzzi fun time!

Just a little fun time for the girls before bedtime...

Hot pot dinner

First hot pot dinner this year.... Helen prepared some simple food the girls like and they ate a lot tonight! Time for Jacuzzi after a little TV time.

Thanksgiving morning...

It's Thanksgiving morning, we have called Benny's family and are planning a lunch get together at Garden Cafe in San Gabriel, most restaurants and stores are closed here in Ventura county.

We are moving along very well on our new house. The girls rooms are done, just installed curtains in the dining room, will be putting on curtains in the living room this weekend. A brand new 55" LED TV will be delivered tomorrow and we will be buying a TV stand to set up a LCD TV in the master bedroom this weekend too...

We will be hosting a party to invite our friends over next weekend! More pictures to show, stay tuned.

Girls' rooms

The girls' rooms are now furnished and both are happy to see their favorite dolls on displays again and now they both their own computers and telephones. Still working on installing a couple magnetic boards for each of them, the girls are happy to call them their rooms!

Halloween 2011

Same as last year, we gathered at Shirly's house in Westlake Village for dinner before going out trick or treating. Since this year's Halloween was on Monday, the gathering group is smaller. When the kids were out in the streets, we found less homes had their lights on... The girls still managed to collect some of their favorite candies.

1st day at our new house

This past weekend was our busiest weekend in a long time! Sunday was our major moving day, by the end of day (around mid-night Monday morning), we have moved about 80% of belongings to our new house, including our two cats Milo and Mocha. We were both very surprised to find out that we have accumulated so many things during the 12 years living in the condo. We believe we will be continuously busy for another couple of weeks, trying to move out the remaining stuff and clean up the place for showing. This move is extremely hard for us since we are both working full-time in the daytime and have two young girls to take care in the evening; just girls' shower, dinner and homework will consume us two & half hours every night!

The girls are super happy about the new house. Now they both have their own rooms next to each other, they got to pick their color for their room, their own furniture, bed sheets, floor lamps and even their own curtains and curtain rods! They shares a bathroom that has two sinks, they have decorated their bathroom with matching shower curtain, trash bin and floor mat that they picked at Bed Bath & Beyond. We are so happy to see their excitements!

Here are some snap shots of the girls on their 1st day at the new house, also showing a picture of Milo under Erica's new bed getting acquainted with his new environment.
