Happy Gathering with Grandma and Aunts 奶奶與姑姑到訪

On the past dragonboat festival, ChangHua Grandma, Angela's fourth aunt and cousin HuaiKwan visited Mommy and Angela. Angela was very excited and glad to have guests in her house. She led HuaiKwan to her game room and was eager to share her toys with him while HuaiKwan still familiarized himself with a new place.

During lunch time, Angela dined with her cousins, HuaiKwan and HoYa, happily at Gourmen Theather in National Opera House at CKS Memorial Hall .

A picture of Grandmas, aunts, cousins together with Angela and Mommy was taken before the family left the resturant.

After lunch, Angela, HoYa and HuaiKwan played in Y17, an indoor playground for young kids ages 0-6. They ran around the ball pit, drove toy cars, playing slide and swing.

Angela was busy and rushed to play all kinds of the entertainment equipment. She and HoYa also had a great time to play house together.

Hello grandauntie and granduncle! 舅婆舅公好！

This week grandauntie Ching and granduncle Kwan came to visit grand grandpa and met up with Angela. It has been a year since Angela saw grandauntie and granduncle last time and Angela could not recognize their face when she saw them. Partly because Angela was sleepy at the time, she was shy to say hello to grandauntie and granduncle. Angela even cried and hid behind Mommy when grandauntie greeted and talked to her.

Before long, Angela showed interests in the prestzel packs and a box of scented dry leafs that grandauntie brought from the States.

She then gradually started to be active and talked few words. Grandauntie gave Angela a hug and Mommy took a picture of them.

Sunset at DanShuei 淡水的夕陽

小恩恩和Daddy、Mommy這個週末下午和雅雅與三姑姑相約到淡水踩馬路逛街，並觀賞淡水的夕陽。

這個週末是個秋高氣爽的好天氣，淡水老街充滿了遊客。

沿途的店家很多都是賣兒童的藝品與玩具，小恩恩和雅雅姐姐看得目不暇給。小恩恩和雅雅姐姐在一家拉麵館前的展飾模型玩得很開心。 雅雅姐姐還請三姑姑買了一個Deigo的氣球，當作是今天遊淡水的戰利品。

看完了夕陽，小恩恩和雅雅一同到天母Sogo用晚餐，在等候進餐廳前，兩人在Sogo兒童遊樂區玩跳跳馬，十分快樂。

Family Reunion 家聚

週末小恩恩與Daddy和Mommy回彰化探望爺爺奶奶。 每次回彰化，小恩恩最歡喜的，除了有機會搭火車之外，最期待的末過於可以看到一群親友，除了爺爺奶奶之外，還有逗人的姑姑、姑丈，堂兄弟和堂姐們，非常熱鬧。

小恩恩特別高興又可以和雅雅、黃荳相聚在爺爺奶奶家，一起搶溜滑梯、吃零食和玩玩具。這回小朋友們又有新的花樣，就是玩搶著將銅板投入錢筒裡。瞧，雅雅和若恩很專注地看著黃荳在投錢幣呢！

週末游泳趣！Swimming with cousins!

自從上周日小恩恩到三姑姑家游泳之後，每天都會想起和雅雅堂姐一同戲水的事。 剛好昨天週六，小姑姑和小姑丈要帶黃荳到三姑姑家游泳，小恩恩當然也不會錯過這次和堂姐弟同游的機會。週六下午的天氣不穩定，斷斷續續下著雨，差一點就不能下水，小恩恩等得不太耐煩一直從姑姑的家望樓下的游泳池看，好不容易雨小一點，Mommy和姑姑們決定要換裝前往池畔。

小朋友換裝後，當然要先大合照一下，雖然小恩恩和堂姐荷雅的身材都不錯，但這回卻被黃荳的男拌女裝搶盡了風采。

小恩恩一看到水，就開心得不得了，等不及Mommy將泳鏡上的標籤撕下來，就急忙要衝去玩水。 小姑姑在Angela的身上灑水，惹得小恩恩咯咯笑個不停。

原本小姑姑很擔心小黃荳不敢下水玩，不過不知是否因為身穿救生衣的緣故，小黃荳似乎也在水裡玩得很愉快，很認真得看著小姑姑教他如何用澆水玩具。

雅雅堂姐必竟是大姐姐，還是手戴浮臂，展現出很專業的游泳小選手模樣。

由於天氣陰陰，時有大雨滴落下來，因此大家玩水玩了差不多一小時後，池邊的救生員要大夥先上來避雨，等雨停了再出來游。

三姑姑看大家都很想玩水，就慷慨地將家裡的大浴池讓給小朋友「續攤」。

在浴池裡，有時小恩恩、雅雅和黃荳，會各自玩水，有時會一同觀看對方操作玩具。有伴一同泡澡、玩水，小恩恩可是玩得不亦樂乎。

當然這回到三姑姑家游泳也沒有空手而回。說再見前，三姑姑將雅雅心愛的小熊畫冊送了三本給小恩恩，讓小恩恩好高興。

Happy Birthday to Changhua Grandma 彰化奶奶慶生會

這個週末小恩恩回彰化參加阿媽的慶生會。這次慶生會在星期六晚上彰化阿媽家舉行，除了大姑姑、二姑姑和台北三姑姑全家，新竹小姑姑和小黃豆及Mommy和小恩恩外，還有鄰居也來參加，非常熱鬧。

大家幫彰化阿媽唱生日快樂歌，小恩恩雖然不會唱，但是會幫忙拍手，看到很多小朋友，十分地開心。 唱完生日快樂歌後，小恩恩很專心地看著蛋糕上的蠟燭，但似乎又顯得有點不耐煩。


好不容易等到奶奶吹熄了蠟燭，小恩恩就急忙要跑走。搞了半天，原來是想去拿養樂多。瞧，小恩恩拿養樂多喝的樣子，已經和２、３歲的小孩很像了呢！


這回小恩恩雖然還沒法和大朋友們玩在一起，但和小黃豆終於有點交集了，兩人還有互相抱抱表示友誼，Mommy希望下次再見面時，小朋友們可以開始咿咿呀呀交談起來。

Celebration for Cousin Kuan's One Year Old Birthday 堂弟懷寬週年慶

During the celebration, when Aunt Kuomei put two little canles (means celeberation for heading the second year)on the birthday pie and lit the candles, everybody started singing happy birthday song. Little Angela, held by grandpa, listened to the song but watched the cake carefully.

Meeting with aunties and uncles at grand grand pa's place

Angela went to grand grand pa's house to meet up with Mommy's cousins and cousin-in-laws, who came from the US to celebrate grand grand pa's 100-year-old birthday last week. Although it was Angela's first time to see Susan, Chris, Thomas, Carol, Nancy and Brian, she did not hesitate to mingle with them.



Angela showed her excitement to see new people, especially, when Brian and Susan lifted her up, she giggled, laughing out loud. During the time, everybody had fun to see Angela performing clapping hands, slithering tummy and crwaling around.


Angela was so active and walking around the table.

Angela received lots of new clothing and snacks from Susan, Thomas and Nancy. What a lucky, beloved baby girl!
