Lately, Emma has made her dad wear a hat while they read books at night. Here are images of the stylish father-daughter duo!

Emma is leaning in to give daddy a kiss!

Chi Emma is sneaking up on Brandon... to give Brandon a kiss!Muah!

Brandon isn't too impressed by the sibling love. Emma waves her hand implying 'whatever'.

This is Brandon's skeptical look.

for fun!

the tale of two lollipops

This was Emma's 2nd wedding she attended (not as a flower girl!) Dat was ring bearer for his uncle's wedding, and he went down the aisle with our Mcdonalds bag (& fries!)

Emma & Dat shared some special moments at the back of the church during the ceremony.
"oooh..we both have lollipops!"

"what?!! My lolli is smaller!!"

"Dat's lollipop is bigger than mine!!" (Dat thoroughly enjoys his lollipop.)

"Mom! I want that lollipop :("

Here is Di Phuong looking oh so gorgeous at 7 months pregnant!

A group picture!Congrats, Tho & Mitzi!

My favorite pic of the night- Tho & Mitzi had disposable cameras on the table. While I took our self-photo, Emma did the same!

baby coos

sound so cute! not crying, just slightly discontented and wanted to be held.

for your viewing pleasure...

I haven't had much time to update the blog! So much has happened, so I hope to get to it soon! In the meantime...two videos of the two who've kept me busy!

Happy One Month, Brandon! Happy 2nd Birthday (+ one month), Emma!

We had a combined party for Brandon and Emma on Brandon's 1 month birthday.
Emma had a private party on her birthday, September 9.
Emma got a gymboree gift card from OB Ngoai and the tag reading system from OB Noi! We practiced for a week to get Emma to blow out the candle after singing Happy Birthday. Mom & dad got Emma the Boz DVDs (kind of like a Christian themed barney, but animated).

Here are a few pictures from the combined party!
