Indoor pool has a connection to the outdoor pool. Nadia had wonderful time dipping her head in and out the pools.

Ice storm

My mother, posing in front of the house, with her new coat for her birthday, and we have power outage. Sweet! We sent Nadia to school because it is really no fun to be home cold and no power.

I am pregnant, too, Mommy

I got a baby inside my belly, too.

First snow

Finally after waiting for 4 days, my mother had her very first snow in her life. This was taken when we were about to pick Nadia up from school, it is also Nadia's first day at school after being away for 1.5 months.

Bad jetlag

Nadia's first day at school today. It's 5 days after we arrived. We picked her up at 4.30 pm, and she was still lying down, hardly woke up. Thanks to her school director, she knew Nadia was still having a jetlag, she let her sleep all afternoon. It took us 1 hour to get her home... It was just so funny that it took Nadia to be jetlag after 3 days we arrived in the States, the same thing with the rest of us.

I love my American home

The next morning, Nadia just as happy as she could be. She was HOME. And she told me she likes her American home. I have never seen her that happy. She enjoyed every minute playing at home. She also played with her uncle Bill, laughed so much. She was in ecstacy. My mother asked her to kiss her, she let the giraffe kissed her. She also kept asking where the snow went. It was such a weird winter, we got 45 degree when we arrived in Detroit and no snow in the ground, and her daddy had already told her that once she flew with 3 airplanes home, she will see snow in the ground. Too bad, and my mom got disappointed, too...

I am working, too, Daddy

Waiting to depart again from Singapore, Nadia was patiently waiting and sat down watching her movie while her daddy worked on his lecture. Do you think she will be an eletric gadget girl when she grown up ?

Are you okay, Daddy ?

Ammar got the eyes exam in Jakarta. Nadia was so worry about him. She kept asking if he was okay.

Farrell's birthday party

After the photoshoot we ate at Pizza Hut, on the way back both me and Nadia were so exhausted.. We slept and woke up so late that we were late for the birthday party. She missed the clowns they hired for the birthday party, still Nadia had fun at the birthday party of her cousin, Farrell.
We were so late that she is still wearing the dress from photoshoot.... I didn't get a chance to even change her when she woke up.

Photoshoot

Lisa, my friend's Bill's wife who is still got stranded in Indonesia (go figure.. the visa thing!!!) hired a photographer to take pictures of Nadia. So Nadia was scheduled to have photoshoot from morning to night. Since her cousin, Farrell have a birthday party in the afternoon. we cut it short only for morning session. It was a hell of hot weather anyway. Lisa is just a nature enterpreneur. Nadia was just so happy watching and singing with her while she was taken the pictures by 3 photographers, with addition of mommy who also brought her camera along with her. I almost passed out for the heat!!! Nadia ? She was okay eventhough she was soaked in sweat.
Here are the pictures I took (until now we still haven't gotten the pictures from the photographer yet!!)
