Moving to the West

Moving to the West
Hi, Internet! It's been a while since I last posted. Our family has been busy moving from the east coast to the west coast. It was quite an experience. We drove through many national parks on the way. The whole family enjoyed the 10-day road trip! We experienced numerous geographical changes from sky-high Colorado mountains to Utah sand dunes and from the extreme mountain top cold to the extreme desert heat. We finally made it to our final destination, the expensive Silicon Valley! Our new journey awaits!

Driving with our fur babies and baby girl, we were still able to reach several national parks. I am very proud of our driver, Jimmy! We also had a little trailer in the back carrying our household goods and the trailer tires broke when we reached near LA. Good timing! We had so much fun and learned so much on the way. We will definitely continue our Wild Wild West adventures. Will keep you posted!

Happy Holidays!

Time flies by so fast. Can't believe my baby girl is already 3-month-old! She is getting bigger everyday! She is almost 13 pounds now! My son, on the other hand, is turning 3-year-old soon! I am having a hard time carrying him around. He is so big now! He also talks a lot nowadays. He's a big fan of big trucks and trains. Our house has turned into his toy land! Of course, both my babies got a lot of toys this Christmas! They are so spoiled I know.

Doing Great

Doing Great
It's been a while since I last updated my blog. I've been busy with my baby girl and restoring our house. There are so many leaves nonstop falling. My baby girl, on the other hand, is growing fast. She's not even two-month-old yet! She's already 9 lbs! Average 2-month girls weigh about 11 lbs, so she is doing great!
My girl was supposed to be born after Halloween, but she made it before Halloween. This year she got to dress up as daddy's little cheerleader. 

My boy's first Halloween was in 2019. He dressed up as a sloth. Look! How cute he is!
I also made a memory book for the birth of my daughter and her experience at the NICU. Giving birth to her was quite an experience! Thanks to Mayo Clinic. Both of us are doing great!
The Zhan family is still expanding. We now have a family of 4. If we were to include our animals, we would have a family of 8! On the other hand, our 20 chickens are still alive! They are laying eggs for us every day. I came up with the idea of making waffle eggs. Each waffle egg takes three eggs to make!
Ok! That's it for this round! I will keep updating my blog! I guess it is good to record my memories. It starts to sound like the movie The Notebook. 😊
