The Expanding Lee/Yung family
4/10/06-
video of Jacky speaking and doing her tricks
3/27/06- We got
together to celebrate Dave's birthday. Xander was
especially silly. The first thing he said when we got out there was "I
don't like dogs". However, by the end of the night
he had warmed up to them.
Here is some almost NC-17 footage of our
2
silly kids in the bathtub together
3/15/06- Aidan and Mac came down to visit for the birthday party. They
were all
happy to see each other, although the girls did
seem confused. Janet went a little crazy with future blackmail
pictures of Jacky, but she really thinks
she's number 1. I think Jacky just wanted to
take a bath in peace.
Now that Jacky sleeps in the playpen she knows that when she
is on the bed, she should
try to get comfortable when she has the chance.
3/2/06-Chinese New Year Dinner. Wasn't too painful- Xander almost got his
head
eaten by the lion dancers. My parents did get called out to start off
the
ballroom dancing portion of the evening. Some of the
Yung clan came as well. Several more events this past month- Xander
went bowling with his uncle and friends, who all
apparently are psycho. A
trip to Boston, where all the
kids were happy to see each other (well... for the most part). Back at
the home front, Jack jack continues to receive
articles of clothing and accessories. She is quite the
picky eater, as well as
occassional comedienne. She does have a
special bond with her brother, though.
Finally, a glimpse as to
how our family time is spent.
2/1/06- First, Jacky loves to copy Xander; she evens pretends to
do homework with him. Our friends from Virginia came to visit, and the
kids got along well. Xander was his
usual comedian self with Anand, and the
moms compared notes. Chinese New Year was quite a big
family affair. Jacky and Aidan had a love/hate thing going, with lots
of pulling and confrontations. Jacky did her best
incredible hulk impersonation, and Aidan was
very worn out by the end of the weekend.
Xander also had a dinner with Harrison, where the
DS was the star of the show. Back at home, Jacky has shown herself to
be
quite a good eater, and no
longer wants us to feed her.
She used to do this thing when the phone rang, but she doesn't
anymore. Good thing
we caught in on tape.
12/27/05-Christmas time with the extended family. Mackenzie was
very smiley all weekend. She and Jacky got along, even though they
traded blows
here and
here. Christmas morning was a blur of shredded wrapping paper and
Thomas the tank engine.
All had a good time. Jacky was super cranky, being sleepy, constipated
and hungry all weekend. She went
looking for food herself, even. She was
much happier when we got home. She likes to
lounge in her own chair, I guess.
Some video footage: Aidan in his
Thomas tunnel/tent, and Jacky
monopolizing his blocks.
Jac giving
Mac some luv.
Jacky's yee yees
tried to entertain her (although she does not look amused).
They did inspire her to
perform at home, though.
12/11/05-first some new pics of the family:
Xander had fun on his birthday, especially with his new DS. This
allowed him to
share his old gameboy with his sister. Jacky soon went on to
bigger and better things when her brother was at school. She later
felt guilty and
had to take a bath
Karate Tournament-
Xander and mom getting ready. There was a lot of
downtime, as you can see. Janet eventually
ruled the day, and posed
with Samantha afterwards.
Here are the videos of the matches (all 30-50 megs)
Xander's grappling
Janet's first match
Janet's second match
The finals
10/31/05- lots of pictures this update:
First, Xander took some golf lessons (arranged by his
grandpa). He was a little shaky, but his form definitely
looks a lot better than it did.
Xander got his first taste of bowling at a couple of bowling
parties. He had a good time (and
check out his cool T shirt-it says master chief if you can't read it).
Other notables- Jack-jack
as batman, as a
muslim cleric, reprising her
laundry basket picture, and showing off her
gap in between her front teeth. Xander also got to
help Aidan down the aisle as his uncle's ringbearer. He is
all set to start kick-boxing soon.
The Hawaii contingent: Jacky and Cole
tolerated each other, but were quite
cute for the camera. Xander and Milo were
bestest of buds, and had the same
sense of humor.
The Denver group:
Xander and Jordan also got along swimmingly. The family's
eyesight was not so good, however.
Which brings us to the Halloween party: each age group
gravitated to their own activity. For the kids, it was video games.
Please note
in this picture there is only 1 person playing. The adults got their
Settlers groove on.
The women dressed up as
Hogwarts students,
faeries, and even Jacky got into the mood, despite a
102 fever.
And of course, we much recognize our
hostess and her helpers ( by helpers I mean Linda only)
Finally, today Xander had a good time trick or treating, while
batman
trailed behind in the bat-wagon
10/02/05- Jacky is 1 year old: Her first party was at home, where
she had cake (all she ate were
the strawberries), and made new
walker-friends. Then she went to 28th street where she got
this cool ride. Mom is especially proud, cause
she's got rhythm
9/25/05- old video footage: Xander's
first crawling experience- he was a little younger than 1 at this time.
Xander
getting down with our neighbor (I think he was about 2 and a half here).
Footage of Xander to
inspire his little cousin, Aidan.
Betty is
not very good at charades. I also have footage on the ski slope from
our first ski trip (with Dave Young, Betty, Simon and Herman, but that will go
up later
9/22/05- Time is flying by; Jack in her
favorite
place. From cousin Judy's wedding:
Mom and Jack
all gussied up. Jack being
corrupted
by her uncle Jason. Xander had a good time, as you can tell by the
crazed look
on his face. He also
hit the
dance floor and
got down.
Some milestones: Jacky has started copying us by
saying "hi".
We were trying to get good footage of
Jacky standing,
but while we were waiting, she wound up
taking her
first steps as well.
9/10/05- The last summer fling; pics from my company picnic, including Jacky's
first experience in the pool. She
enjoyed it quite a bit, although Xander almost drowned. Dark Yee yee
sent
this picture of Jac jac. Xander's
first day of school, and Jacky
came along for the ride
If
you would like to submit a picture for posting, please email it to me, so I can
use it in its original resolution.
8/26/05- Some old stuff from the kids visit in July: xander and dashiell having some ice cream, and cadence going down a water slide which is not steep enough.
Also, Jacky and Charlotte the morning after a sleepover
Jacky is now pulling herself up, and is a very picky eater (although she likes broccoli). She is a cutie, though, and both her mommy and big brother make her very happy
Xander getting his blue belt.
8/5/05 Highlights from the visit- Dashiell came to visit. He
took a gymnastics class
with Xander, and they both
got on the rings. Cadence, Dash and Jac posing. Poor Jacky
a few minutes later. Janet with her
class at karate. Xander demonstrating
here, and doing drills
here. Jacky with Charlotte. And with Kaos and Spectre.
Finally, she is starting on her shoe
collection early!
Stop the presses! 3
naked boys cooling their feet!
7/27/05- a few pics from earlier
this month. Xander and Jacky have been sleeping in the same bed lately- trying to break that habit
now, though. They do have
fun together, wherever
they are. Jack started
crawling this month, and she can really get around, when she feels like it.
7/2/05- Xander's
graduation. Not much to see, but he is on
stage here (all Janet can focus on is the horrible teeth of the girl
sitting in front of him). He also takes a picture with
one of his close friends in his class (check out the size difference!)
Xander is happy to be off from school, and now helps
around the house, and entertains the baby. The kids pose for an action shot.
Jac-Jac's second poop on
the potty!
2 videos today- Xander's first
bike ride sans training wheels, and Jacky being silly while closing her eyes.
6/9/05-Yee Yee visited, and Jacky
liked it!
A fun day at Rye Playland:
Jacky sat in the stroller, while Harrison
and Xander rode a rollercoaster, Xander had some bumper
car action. Later, Charlotte and Jacky hung
out together.
Jacky is now sleeping
in her playpen- yay!
Finally, Xander is a karate kicking, board
breaking fool!
5/2/05- The northern Ca trip:
Jack-Jack's first
plane ride.
Visiting our friends Karen, Christian and Ryan; they live in el Cerrito and have a great view of the bay. We witnessed Ryan's first
attempt at drinking soup with a spoon.
We also went out to see Tom,
Emily, Scout and Quinn in Davis. There we went swimming,
dressed up and pretended
to be superheroes.
Xander was very happy to see his cousins. They played
in the back, and on the
bouncer. They had slumber
parties, woke up and ate breakfast
together. Everyone was amazed at Jack-jack's size and weight (especially
Cadence). Of course, Hon could not let the occasion pass without a photo shoot.
At home, Jack got her first
taste of table foods!
4/17/05- Park adventures- Jacky in the swing,
and being pushed (and moving!).
Bill went to the park with us, where he had a severe allergic
reaction to his dog, of all things. Our dirty laundry.
Xander at the theater,
and making
Jacky laugh
3/29/05- Some pics from
Boston- 3 of the new addition- nicknames so far: BB Mac, Mini Mac,
Manuel.
While we were there, Xander found his new love- Jello. And nametags.
Jacky was also quite smiley, although Craig
doesn't look so enthused. Xander and Aidan got along,
and Xander even started teaching
him the ropes.
3/22/05- Finally! A normal
picture of Xander with family. Also,
it took a lot of work, but we go our first
movie of Jacky laughing... sort of
3/10/05- Jacky can lift her
head up (and is happy about it)- she also enjoys rice
cereal. Xander and Jacky are both morning
babies. Yee yee came to
visit us, and the kids were happy. Xander can't be
serious for any picture
2/28/05 Here is a new video of Xander
dancing- kind of long, but he has a good finish. Jacky can now lift
up her head a little, as seen here.
I have also updated the side by side pictures.
2/22/05 Boston
was fun for the kids. We met up with Louisa and Max- the
boys danced together and shared
a funny story over lunch. But Xander sat in Aidan's seat.
The kids
and family
lounging on our new sofa! The last chance for Jacky to
wear a Xmas
outfit.
Baby girl's new look: both before
and after
Janet made a
hat for the baby girl, which can be seen here
(but I don't think she made this one)
We finally got a pic
of jumbo jack smiling!
