Visit to Tando

It is nice that my cousins are visiting us, mommy and I brought them to Tando play center last Friday together with tante Nushin and boy...we have fun together. Although I was a bit sick, we were still able to play together.

Another Rose Garden class...

I went for another Rose Garden class, but this time I brought my two cousins Nadim and Minou with me. It was quite a big class compared from the previous weeks. We welcomed back Rylan, Ruhullah Ardjomandi came again with his parents and their baby Farid, and of course other friends of mine were there as well: Carmel, Rubin, and Layla. It was so much fun, see our photos below...

Pictures at home...

...this is actually Enna-Marie's favorite area climbing up and down. Minou likes this area as well as she makes this her stage, she sings and dances here...see the tiny microphone she's holding and her outfit.

My cousins are here...

My cousins Nadim and Minou are currently visiting the Holy Land with their parents oom Jorrit and tante Molouk, and tante Nushin their aunt. They are soon to start their pilgrimage so they will be here for quite awhile with us. Today we met them at the beach and brought some beach toys and snacks, it was fun playing with them. The last time we were together was nine months ago when I was 10 months old about to start walking that time, so you can imagine how it is now me playing with them. Here are some photos of us playing and running together...



















and here are few old photos, see how much we have grown...

Filipino food we miss...!

famous adobo dish

yummy kaldereta

delicious kare-kare

palabok, Menchie's favorite

fish dish relleno

mouthwatering halo-halo...soo good especially during hot months

and last but not least, leche flan (which we actually don't have to miss, because Menchie makes a VERY good one too :-)...

Dinner with friends from Malaysia

We recently had dinner with Sinnathamby and Joan from Malaysia who were visiting the Holy Land. Maarten stayed with them during his trip to Malaysia in 2002. They were so nice and hospitable to him. Joan is one of the children of the Hand of the Cause of God, Mr. Featherstone, and the aunt of our friends Su-Yin and Mei-Ling. It was nice to have them over at home, and we hope to visit them in Malaysia some day.
