"I can dance now!"
Leo prays!
Dearest Leonidas,
BLESSED 3RD BIRTHDAY!
I am so sorry for this belated birthday post! One week late. :( It has been wonderful hearing your voice again and listening to you sing the lyrics of "Happy Birthday" to yourself. Have you gotten your Thomas the Train yet? ;) I have attached a couple of videos of you when you were 2 for memories' sake! Do watch them!
Mummy and Daddy are full of praises of you and their hearts are filled with immense joy the moment they make mention of you in our conversations. I have heard that you have been an apple of their eyes; helping Mummy out with housework and gardening, helping Daddy to get apples, being able to verbalize your feelings in audible words etc. Also, it has been lovely knowing that you are growing up well and under the nurture of your Mummy and Daddy. Seriously, I can't wait for you to return to Sg to see how much you have grown! You will indeed grow up to be a fine boy. Praying that you will be a man after God's own heart! I love you!
Praying for you,
Ganma #1

We have been through many trials and temptations, many months of separation and anxiety, suffered much heartache and pain. But God has refined our marriage through fire, and we have found the many pieces of gold and precious stones that have emerged. I thank God for how he has so richly blessed our lives together though we have failed Him in so many ways. His mercies are unfailing, His grace bounteous.
In this third year, I want to thank you for :
1. All the times you've allowed me to cry on your shoulder and listened to my woes.
2. Your loving attitude towards correcting me and helping me to be more like Christ.
3. Working so hard for the family and yet still making time for us.
In this third year, I am proud of you for :
1. Attaining an undergrad within 2 years with cum laude!
2. Helping out with the chores whenever you could, with cleaning the car and gardening too!
3. Teaching leonidas to be able to swim on his own!
In this third year, I have enjoyed having:
1. A nice, big and awesome house to stay in.
2. A decent car to drive around in and even across states!
3. A huge private garden to put my hands to work. In this third year, we have had some exciting family outings:
Spiritually refreshing times at THE WILDS
Crazy times at TABLE ROCK
Sweetest times at CNN builiding in ATLANTA
Fun'nest' times at HOUSTON
You are my most beloved husband and soulmate.
Happy Anniversary!
Dear little Leo,

Babysitting Day
Leo having fun with his macaroni!
Do pester Daddy and Mummy to update your blog ok? You must be 2 years and 2 months now. Are you babbling many more new words? Are you doing sweeping the floor for Mummy still? Do call us once in a while! (I know that long-distance telephone charges are expensive!) I heard from your Mummy that you are having the time of your life in your new church playground. With your outgoing personality and bubbly laughter, I am sure you will bring loads of joy to the kids around you! (:
Do continue to grow to love Jesus more and more each day.
Missing all of you,
Godma
Perhaps one day, you'll be in the car with me. I will be driving down the freeway. And all of a sudden, you start crying and screaming because there's a lil' bee buzzing around in the car.
"Daddy daddy, help me! There's a lil' bee buzzing about!"
"But daddy can't stop cos i'm driving on the highway."
While I am driving with one hand on the steering wheel, I catch the bee with the other. All of a sudden, you hear me go "URGH". I release my hand and the bee starts flying around again.
"Daddy daddy, the bee is still buzzing about me!"
I turn around and open my palm towards you and you look at me. There on my palm was a sting, and blood was flowing out.
"Don't be afraid son, the busy bee will never sting you again cos it has already stung me."
But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
1 Corinthians 15:57
Learning to love you,
Dad
