Our wonderful Emery turned one today. It’s been amazing to watch her learn and grow out of the newborn and infant phase into a little babbling little person. Although she is only one, Emery has learned many things at this point. Emery can:
- crawl
- sit up and roll
- pull herself to a stand up
- stand [...]

Last night a long awaited event took place. Emery and her Great Grandmother (whom Ashley and I call Nai Nai) safely arrived in Atlanta! Nai Nai was so excited and happy to see Emery and Emery felt the same way. The two hit it off immediately. Nai Nai is going to stay 2 [...]

Ashley loves seafood, especially oysters and shrimp.  So for her birthday, I took her along with Emery to “Fish” a great but reasonable seafood and raw bar in the West Village.  I excused myself from work early so we could avoid the crowds and we took a little family trip.  The restaurant was great, awesome [...]

It’s been an eventful summer here for our family.  Lot’s of change has happened here to our little family with the arrival of Emery.
After Emery was born, my Mom came down for a few days to help us take care of her. It was good to have some help.  Our first night with Emery before [...]

Our little Emery born May 17, @ 8:20pm EST, 6lbs 12 oz at St. Luke’s Roosevelt Hospital.

Here are the sequence of events that led up to Emery’s birth.
Friday May 14 AM: During our OB visit (now weekly),  Dr. Bradley tells us that Ashley is 2cm Dilated and she is doing well.  We start to [...]

One day in early September, I came home and Ash mysteriously sat me down and told me she had some news.  I had a feeling what it was and when she told me my heart leapt!  That’s right, we were going to be parents!  Ashley is pregnant!  We were surprised but not THAT surprised as [...]

Ray and I officially started dating back in November 1999 and have a tradition that we go to Friendly’s every year for our dating anniversary.  However, with the constant moving over the past several years to the West Coast and then to the Southeast, we couldn’t go to Friendly’s and had to improvise a little.  [...]

For Ray’s birthday, we did a two-part celebration. The weekend before his birthday, I bought tickets to take him to see Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring at the Radio City Music Hall.  It was an amazing experience where a live orchestra  actually plays in sync with the movie along with live [...]

My huney was very sweet to take a day off on my birthday so that we could spend some quality time together. His project has been very busy and he had to work some very long hours. However, he wanted to make the day special for me. We started off with some breakfast in bed. [...]

Ray and I started off celebrating our 2nd wedding anniversary by waking up very early in the morning and going to our building rooftop to enjoy the view. We established a little tradition that on our anniversary, we would watch the sunrise, get some coffee and and just savor the moment. This year, we went [...]

Thought I’d steal Ashley’s post title from the one she used for my birthday, she’s so dramatic! hehehe
So, we did have a lot of fun on my huney’s birthday.  She was worried I didn’t have anything planned but hey come on, that’s  what I do all day.  Here’s some pics of the weekend.  It wasn’t [...]

Yup, that’s our family motto.  Happy anniversary to us!  Ashley and I woke up early today to watch the sunrise over some hot chocolate and coffee.

Since this is our first anniversary, we decided on a yearly tradition that would be meaningful, fun and something we could do regardless of where we were.  We’d wake up [...]

Ashley and I have been going out for 8 years and we are still going out now.
Here’s a picture of us with our friend Valeria over 8 years ago at Rockefeller Center in NYC! Look how young and innocent we were. At that point, Ashley and I had just started hanging out together.

Ray [...]

I dedicate this blog entry to a very very special person in my life. His name is “Bean” and most people know him as Eugene. He is my little bother and we are 12 years and 10 days apart. We were both born in October and both monkeys according to the [...]

At 12 a.m. of October 15, I wished Ray a Happy 27th birthday. He was too tired and nearly unresponsive since it was a Sunday evening and he knew that he had a long week ahead. But it’s okay, I knew I had to wake up pretty early myself so that I can [...]

Mike and Christie got married in Atlanta on August 12th, 2007.  The wedding was beautiful and was a blast.  We saw many of our friends whom we haven’t seen for quite some time and partied it up again like the old days.  Mike and Christie looked great and were having so much fun.  We especially [...]

Woohoo.  My huney’s birthday is today! This will be the first birthday in which I can give her one of those happy birthday to my WIFE cards!  I won’t disclose how old she is since that may have dire consequences so I will only show some snaps from the various activities we did.  I joking [...]
