Sweet moments

This is nothing about sewing
I just want to share some sweet moments of life

Yes, I had a fabulous Valentine's Day
Flowers, nice meals and family time
Nothing more I could ask
Life, sometimes could be this beautiful

And this morning
We finally have a 40+F day
Since... hum... seems like forever
It was probably Nov. last year
So we decided to celebrate it
By driving 20 miles to lake Harriet
And take walk around...
Nothing is sweeter than this
Soooooo looking forward spring break
I soooo need that time to do some projects
In hopefully warmer weather

A trip to Dell's water park

I have never been in a indoor water park
Until last week ... 
And, it was a perfect escape 
In the middle of this hard but beautiful winter

We temperately forgot about 
The cold temperature outside
In this lazy river

And, this pretended beach

Here is a picture of V having a bottle on the "beach"
in the Wrap shirt 

And, here is V in the Wrap shirt
At the story time, having a bottle again
Yes, she is wearing it day & night
Because, it fits her perfectly
And you know how long it will last for toddlers

Besides the water
Victoria has another favorite 
That is the arcade center
Which we have to pass by no matter where we go
Nothing is cuter than a toddler facing the window
Look in & have the eager to play

My favorite
Is their chocolate shop, lol
Can you blame me?
It's buy one pound & get half for free!


So, the trip was fun & sweet
Of course, there is nothing I can compare to the family time
And, our very first trip together
Can't wait for the next get away

XOXO, 
Anne

P.S. We choose to stay at the Great Wolf Lodge. Found the place on "Under cover Boss" and would recommend it to anyone who has young children. It's got three different section for different age groups. Thumbs up for their safety guards. And the room we got was more than fair. Slightly out dated but spacious and comfortable. (Price was decent too. $390 after taxes for two nights.The room features jacuzzi tub, fire place, king size bed, pull out sofa and two TVs. Oh, and it also has mini wet bar, microwave and coffee maker. Water Park pass is free)

Updates of life

One morning you get up
Get yourself a cup of coffee
Start your computer ...
And no!!! 
It's all blacked out
This is life
Things happen when you least expected

My laptop lost it's soul-
The hard drive died 
After five years of hard work

I know what you are thinking ...
Oh, no. 
We often panic at what we might be losing
But this time, I am actusally glad that
De-clutter happened without planning

Well, it's all fixed now and running
The laptop, lost some weight
So more room for important stuff
And, craft & sewing blog will be back
Tomorrow.

xoxo,Anne

Steam snow crab leg, fried rice & beef noodle soup for dinner

20:00
After all chores
am sitting here thinking... 
How was my 2010?

It was a great year for me
Because ...
  • I spent a lot of time with my families
  • Went back to China, twice
  • Earned 12 credits &
  • Got a small raise
I am feeling lucky
Hopefully
2011 will be even better

And you will too...
So, Happy New Year!

XOXO, Anne

Merry Christmas 2010

I can't believe it
IS the end of 2010
already

A year has fly by
as we grow older

The air is filled with
cheer & joy

But there is something
slightly
sad 

However ...
Hope everyone had a good year
More importantly
have a great new year

Merry Christmas & Happy New year!

A night like this

It was not our date night
It was a casual Thursday night

So, no make up
No dress up
No stress
And, no big bill to pay

We had Panera Bread
- Very suburb like I know
And watched Holidazzle
In hot seats
On Dec-16-2010

For the first time
We were rejected
At McCormick & Schmick's
For happy hour
- One of the many prices of
Having a one year old

It was cold outside
A typical MN night

But there was something warm
Amount us
And, I like to assume
It's love


xoxo,Anne

It's a new home

Just as we thought we are settled
We got kicked out
With all of our belongs, of course

It happens a lot in life

It was MSN space
Who hosted my blog for nearly five years
An average of how often American moves
Yeah?

We do need a new beginning
A different focus in a different stage of life

So, it's not entirely a bad thing
So, here is a new home

For BBQGAL, A nickname I've been saving for myself
For my sewing and living journeys
For things & people I love and
for those that loves me

P.S. All older memories are now packed and stored on wordpress.

xoxo,Anne
