Split Testing

We're so amazed to learn that our youngest daughter can do the full split. We didn't train her to do it, but surrpisingly, as you can see in these pictures, full split is very easy for her. We asked our other two daughters whether they can do it also, but they could not.

She was so encouraged to do it everyday after watching the latest Karate Kid movie. The elder sisters were trying so hard to do what Johannah can do, but I think it would take them more time to have it. We just hope that their Taekwondo lessons could help them develop this full split. They had tried several split tests, but still far from what the youngest can do.
When I was also a little child, it was one of my passions and desires to do this thing, but no matter how much I tried, nothing happens. I was just frustrated. But now, you just have to look at these pictures and you can see how easy it is for her. There is no extra effort excerted.

Favorite Pastime Before Watching Movie

There is only one favorite place for us to let the time pass by everytime we have waited for our scheduled movie shows at the Major Cineplex at the Rathayothin area.

It's a fastfood center where we can easily have our children's favorite fried chicken. Though there are lots of better options around, but mainly because of what they are riding - 3 horse with a chicken face -,
they always won for their request to be at the same place over and over again.

Children are not really getting bored of doing the same thing. Even in our home, though we have lots of DVD movies, they prefer to watch the same three movies over and over again. Once they like something, they won't get bored of it. That's the good
thing about these children.

However, if they don't like something, no matter how much effort you used to force them, you will just end up frustrated. But as parents, we have to love our children unconditionally. Loving them unconditionally, involves lots of sacrifices.

Anyhow, it's the greatest gift we ever have in this life. So, just keep enjoying our weekly bonding.

3D Movies: Shrek Forever After, Toy Story 3 and Despicable Me

It's the second 3D movie - Shrek Forever After - our children and us had watched within this year.

If God willing, in a week or two from now, as planned, the third one would be either Toy Story 3, the 2010 American 3D computer-animated film or Despicable Me, the latest movie that topples 'Twilight' at US box office.

Hope we still have the extra budget to enjoy thse interesting movies not only for kids, but also for us parents.

Our Lovely Princesses

Our three lovely princesses smiling happily as they wore their crowns from China.

Of all the gifts I had brought back from my trip to Beijing, it's what they like most.

One day, God willing, they will be wearing the real crowns: in sports, beauty, or as real princesses in the palace.

Dinner Time With My Family

It's a special dinner time with my family during our CFC sister Tiny's wedding party night at the wedding reception hall at the Grand Miracle Hotel in Bangkok, Thailand.

There were lot of dances among all of us: guests, friends and brothers and sisters in our CFC community.

It's a very happy night for all of us, especially to the newly married couple.

Icecream Party Time

These pictures were taken at the lobby of Richmond Hotel at Rattanathibet Road, Nonthaburi, Thailand while waiting for our friends coming down to meet us. After the meeting, we then had our icecream party. Everybody was so happy for this simple, but memorable and most relaxing day of the week. Our children always look up to this kind of activities and we're trying to adjust everything to give way to them. We always pray together that we will always have the resources to do this family bonding.
