Hey, guys, I'm doing the makeup for a bridal fashion show this weekend, and I'm trying to book some weddings there. If you guys know of anyone getting married and looking for a makeup artist - have them look me up! My blog for that is... www.weddingmakeup.blogspot.com I want to do a lot of weddings this year! Word of mouth, pass it on! Thanks!
I know, I know -it's been a couple weeks...sorry! Good news is, Max is feeling SO much better, and so am I! Amazing how he defines my state of being! The never-ending sickies finally went away and now it's just the teething, totally do-able. He's back to my happy giggle box that sleeps through the night! yahoooo! 4 months old, and changing daily! So, here's his latest developments: smiling constantly, just like Daddy, loves bathtime with Grandpa, reading, and making funny Asian faces!
Auntie Bree and Auntie Carey!
Great Grandma Yvonne and Auntie Kimi! 93 and 98 - love those Amazin' Asian Genes!
Grandpa Dadeo!
Uncle Joe!
Some people we love!
Action Baby! Okay, you know you have a thrill seeker on your hand when he started to love being tossed up in the air at 3 months old, before he could even steady his neck! That's his favorite thing right now. Today we put him in the johnny jump up and he loved it! I love when he belly laughs and smiles with his whole body! these days, Max is either really happy and his normal self, or crying bloody murder from teething. It's so sad! He's been fighting a cold, the stomach flu and eczema for about a month now and it's exhausting. He's still his good natured self, but when he's hurting he screams and it breaks my heart. So anyways, that's life for me right now. But God is giving me peace in the midst of tiredness!
I've been taking Max and the dogs on a walk every day and we all love it! There's a road through some orchards behind my house and it's about a mile and it's the perfect time for me to talk to God and for us all to get some fresh air. BJ's getting so big! and so is my 17 pounder 4 month old! sheesh! It's a good way for me to lose all that baby weight!
Okay, catching up! Here's a collage of pictures from the holidays! We had a Wonderful Christmas with our beloved families! Our best yet! It meant so much more with our precious little gift, Max; and it was so wonderful to be a family! I'm so thankful to God for all of the blessings He's poured out on us and the amazing friends and family that He's surrounded us with. It's been hectic and busy, but it's all about Him and I'm so grateful for His Gift to us.

My dear friend Amy came to visit me from WA state for Thanksgiving, and I just love her. She's such a loyal, caring and lifelong friend to me, and Max couldn't ask for a better Auntie! We had a blast together - like always!
