We build up the excitement of a treasure hunt by sending an invite letter. On the Treasure Hunt Day, Kiel listens to grandpa’s instructions via my phone and with map in hand, he has to bring his 2 year old brother along. They spend about an hour hunting for treasures and more hours playing with new toys. Game teaches listening skill and patience in a fun way.

Celebrating Aaron’s turning two birthday at Jurassic Quest. Aaron is tentative with the life sized dinosaurs while Kiel knows what he wants and runs straight for the dinosaurs rides and inflatables. Little brother wants to join big brother but he can’t. Grandpa brings him to the toddlers’ corner and he is finally all smile! Happy Birthday, Aaron.

Stayover at grandparents’ house for Kiel means he gets exclusive attention from us. The weather has been good so we have many fun outdoor activities for a 5 year old boy to do. This time the main highlight is riding the big bicycle up and down the street. Then it’s more games with grandpa and gramma to his heart’s content.

Easter Egg Hunt 2021 is extra special because our adopted daughter, Yasmin in here from Michigan. This is her first time hunting Easter eggs and Kiel is eager and excited to help her. But first he and his brother Aaron have a go at the egg hunting first. Great excitement with more eggs and presents for everyone. See photos of Kiel ‘helping’ Yasmin.

Kiel’s little adventure in the snow sees him all geared up in his winter wear exploring the road leading up to the hiking trail. He knows how to get there and it is fun exploring everything with his 4 year old eyes. We check out the manhole, excavator and even discover animal paw prints! Imaginative and full of wonderful ‘adventure’ with gramma.

Covid-19 pandemic and social distancing was tough for everyone especially for our grandson. We finally agreed to reunite and have eggs hunting in May because of the good, warm weather. It was good to feel free and see happy face and excitement on Kiel. We are so happy to be with our family again.

In Malaysia, new mothers have help to take care of them and their newborns. Kasandra is determined to be independent and we are happy when she finally agrees to have us babysit our two grandsons. How difficult can it be right? We are so wrong – these 2 months old and 3 years old dictate our lives for 3 days and 2 nights!

We took care of our grandson, Kiel while his mom was at the hospital to deliver her baby. Kiel had so many fun activities and we even brought him to the library. Kiel visited baby Aaron in a doctor’s scrub costume and it was cuteness overloaded. He was so gentle and amazed at his little brother. Welcome to the world, Aaron. Kiel, you’re a big brother now!

Halloween is fun when we have a 3 year old grandson to celebrate with. We were dressed up as The Incredibles, he was the hunter, dad’s the big bad wolf and mom was the Little Red Riding Hood. I even bake spider cookies. It’s great to see children walking the street trick-or-treating with their bigger siblings or parents.

Paddle boarding is a new water sport for me and I failed miserably on my first trip to Hauser Lake. Shane made it looked easy but it wasn’t. I spent a week at the gym to improve my balance and today I am so proud to say I did it! We invited our daughter-in-law and grandson to join us to Hauser Lake and had a fun filled day.
