One Fine Day ~Love Letter from Lido Beach~

Hello my dear friends..

This is one of our favorite beaches in FL - Lido Beach.

JT took these photos of us a few weeks ago right after the sunset.

We're so fortunate to have such lovely beach so close to our house because wecan't live without it.

Beach has been a huge part of my life since I was a little girl.

Growing up in Hawaii only spoiled me in that sense.

I love everything about beach or islands - the flower, the beautiful sand, the breeze and tanned skin, and flip flops...

Just listening to the waves and looking at the horizon always makes me feel happy and tremendously humble about life.

Even yesterday, I took the girls to the beach and they were in the water until 8:30pm!

It was dark, but they were swiming and catching waves like mermaids.

It's just a beautiful moment to experience...

I heard news today that BP successfully inserted a tube into the leaking pipe.

I really hope and pray that this will ease the flow of the oil and they can work efficiently to stop the further damage to our beautiful ocean.

It breaks my heart just looking at those images of the Gulf.

This is our another lesson to learn - to respect our beautiful nature, our planet...

Ju Ju is cute...

Yeah that's right, Soap, strike the pose!

"Cheeeeese!"



So my darlings, how was your weekend???

Have a great Monday!!!

One Fine Day - Easter Weekend-

Hello my girlfriends! How was your Easter weekend? Mine was just dandy - very lovely, thank you very much. I got to take my daughters to the egg hunting at my BFF's K's church with her daughter, nephew and niece. Also we got to have Easter dinner twice both on Saturday and Sunday which was simply fabulous.

My daughter Ju Ju repeatedly said that Easter is her favorite holiday, maybe better than Christmas. I was a bit surprised by her comment because I surely thought she loves Christmas more than anything!

Her heart melted when she held the baby chick - I couldn't stop smiling looking at her and the little bird. So preciousl

I think Ju Ju looks like me more every day. And Soapy always plays a shy invidual when the camera is looking at her. It's funny how Soapy makes her face.

This is my BFF K - It's fair to say that we're inseparable. She brings the best out in me and I bring the best out in her. We love each other very much...

After all the egg hunting and getting her nails done, Soapy was exhausted and enjoyed some ZZZ time. I wonder what she was dreaming about.

My brother in law had to leave on Sunday for a business trip and my MIL wanted to have dinner and sort of celebrate Easter with him, so we had dinner all of us together on Saturday night. My BIL has played a huge role in my daughters lives since my husband left for work past February. He adores and loves my daughters like his own and he's not afraid to discipline them at the same time. When the girls refuse to listen to me, I always use the trick "I will call uncle D!!" - Oh boy, they listen to me right away. LOL. My girls can't live without him...

We love him very much...

So, I thank you brother D. Thanks so much for being there for us!

These are the photos on Easter Sunday right before we went out to dinner with grandma and grandpa. We didn't have daddy and uncle this year, so my MIL decided that she wants the day off from cooking. I think she deserved it. We went to eat Chinese and my father in law (JT's stepdad) jokingly said, "This is my first time ever to eat Chinese on Easter.."

We had such a lovely time together - I must say it was one perfect Easter with family!

So, how was your weekend my darlings?

V-cast : "One Fine Day"

It's been forever since the weather here in FL got warm up in the 70's. We got to wear short sleeves dresses today and we decided to drive down to downtown and walk around the streets. I had my Flipcam with me, so here are some of the video clips - visiting our favorite yogurt store "White Berry" -> beach "Lido Beach" -> our favorite Italian restaurant "Epicure". We didn't get to do this for awhile (that's how much the weather has been chilly in FL) - so I decided to do everything all at once... I think it's okay to have a nice day like this sometimes, right? I was very happy to spend the carefree evening with my daughters.. :)

Enjoy the videos!
