The Love of My Life

These 2 little kids are the love of my life!
They are soo cute and adorable - eventhough yes of course - the eldest is already naughty - but still they are a part of my everyday breath :)

One LO of Raphael playing piano, not really a piano - it's a keyboard ...

Piano Boy

It has been 2 years now since
Raphael first lesson of piano
At first, he was not quite happy with the lesson,
all he knew was only playing around in the classroom.
But with the time being, he loves learning piano.
He exercises every night with his daddy,
who also love to accompany him at the lesson class.
Now he can play the piano with two hands, for chords and melodies.
He's a smart boy and I am so proud of him.
My Piano Boy!

Finally - someone in the family can play a music instrument hahahaha ...
It was my dream, since I was a kid I want to play a piano, but my parents were not too wealthy to have money for piano lesson :(
So now ... when I have enough to take my kids to a piano lesson - I will do it for sure ...
God's blessing should be passed to our kids, right?
I plan for Bianca to have Ballet lesson too when she is bigger :D

Next LO is for Bianca, she's reaching out of her bed hehehe ...
Just after she finished taking her bath, I took her pictures - lots of them actually
but this one is good for extraction ;)

Wow ... 2 LOs in a day? That's too much hahahaha ...

Aww ... another bad news is coming from my hometown Solo ... due to the heavy rain for 2 days the flood is hitting the suburb - where my mother in law live.
She's being evacuated to my hubby's family.
She's fine ... but don't know what happen with the house.
But all that matter is that she's fine.

We couldn't visit her as the way to the city is blocked by the flood.
We pray that it'll be over soon.

Thanks for reading my blog :)

Holiday Season Layouts

Phew ... finally the Musical Drama at my church performed on 24th December 2007.
SO ... my job as the director and screen writer also the correographer is DONE ... D O N E, DONE!
I didn't mean to be rough ... but this Xmas service was taking my breath away.
Not only because of the rehearsals but with all trials that I experience ... it took my heart away too ... it happened with lots of cries and efforts ...
I'll post the pictures later on ... hopefully they will be good pictures ...

So ... it's time for the REAL HOLIDAY SEASON!
We're going to Jakarta next 28th December. But unfortunately without Bianca :( aww ... it's sooo sad for me.
She's too little and too fragile to be brought together with us ... beside that ... the holiday season is going to be so crowded.
My husband's best friend will get married and he also invited a lot of our hometown friends. I count there will be more than 5 families coming to Jakarta.
So ... it won't be good for a 10 months old baby to hang around with so many people and tight schedule ...
Beside, it'll make me boneless he he he ...
But I am sure I will miss her a lot ... miss miss miss her ...
My mom will come to support our babysitter at home ...

so ... this time is a LO for my beautiful Bianca ... (sorry love, I must left you behind at home for your own sake :( )

The making of this LO is not easy, why?
Because I am not used to combine various kit in one LO ... tooo ... complicated for me hahaha ...
but here it is ...























This LO is about the meaning of Bianca's name ...
I'll done another one for Raphael for sure ... next year perhaps he he he ...

The colors of this kit is soooooooo incredible ... I love pink and her friends, such as soft blue, purple ... awesome!

So ... hopefully there'll be more LOs before new year 2008 ... but if there's ... it'll be just fine, rite?

Happy Holiday All!

Luv ya,
Charlz
