The Boy, the Boat and the Moon

I watch you sleeping for a long moment tonight and saw a face familiar yet new. A tiny mole I did not know of on your forehead, long eyelashes I never noticed before and a nose and mouth just like mine. You are my lovely second born who utters to me "I love you Mummy" every night before you sleep. I love you too sweetheart...always. And may you never stop loving this old lady.

10th Anniversary!

Sept 1st was Teacher's Day, it was also my 10th "go-steady" anniversary with Erwin :D I thought it would be quite meaningful to do a family shoot on the day itself to remember it by. Boy was I right! In all the wrong ways.

The worse clients The Studio Loft ever had were my own kids :p I think Charlene couldn't believe how badly they "performed" for the camera that day too. Arrgh, I was so upset with them and then decided why not just have a nice shot of Erwin and myself, let them run mad for all I care. When we both got down on the grass to take a shot, Dylan started screaming when he realised I wasn't paying any attention to him. Then Kayden kept fussing for biscuits. Sigh.

Anyway, here are a few usable shots we managed to get. Good luck to us (and Charlene) at our next family portrait session :p







We looked like we had just fought a battle and lost :s


Happy anniversary baby!

It's tough to be my husband :p

i lose my temper easily when you disagree with me
we often argue over what's best for the boys
and you say i always think i am in the right
well ok, maybe 80% of the time :p
if i am not working or looking after the boys
i am nuah-ing in front of the tv
the housework is mostly done by you
and your favourite complain is i treat the home like a hotel :p
things have improved since i found a part-time maid
but i know you would still like to see me chip in more often
i cannot promise you i'll be able to do it
but i will try harder to keep the house tidy
thanks for being an understanding husband
although you are a tad naggy ;)
i think you are a great father!
to kayden especially
i secretly love how you fuss over things
with that deep burrow on your forehead as you frown
while fixing your helicopter or trying to solve a problem
the way you don't care what others think
and always in your Led Zeppelin tee, bermudas and slippers :D
my dear husband of more than 7 years
i wish you a very happy 30 something birthday!!!

love,
your messy wife :D

On the third day of Christmas...

7 years ago today, I became Mrs Erwin Seow!
Happy ROM Anniversary baby! :D

This day is also my cat Zen Zen's birthday, he popped out of his mother just as I was leaving the house for the Registry of Marriages.

Happy Birthday Baby! (the big one)

When we were dating, through marriage and our first pregnancy, Erwin was still my "baby" and i was his "girl". That's what we would call each other la. Then Kayden came along and overnight i became "mummy" and he, "daddy". The transition was so seamless that only today when i saw my phone reminder that it was "Baby's Birthday!" that i thought back to the old days when we were just a couple :) how things have progressed since!

Today my big baby turns 36! kekeke, so old right? I still remember calling him "old man" when we were pak-tor-ing :p Those were some really good times and i miss them. Our relationship has taken a downturn lately and we finally agreed today to see a councillor. I feel very sad when we shout at each other and our innocent child looks at us wondering what's going on. It's very bad to say the least. After we were done, Kayden came up to me and say, "Daddy cry." Then he looked at me and say, "Mummy cry." :'( Even us showing affection to each other is something new to him (shows how much we have been fighting!), like this morning when i gave Erwin a birthday kiss, Kayden exclaimed excitedly, "Mummy kiss Daddy!"

Anyway baby if you are reading, i know i have not been a very good wife but i am trying my best now to improve and be one that you will love and cherish. Hoping we can have in the near future those days of old again.

I love you and happy birthday :)

(Dug out some of our wedding photos, don't we look young and somebody has more hair? haha, just kidding!)
