Sidewalk Chalk

Chloe loves being outdoors these days...especially since the weather's been so nice. Mama and Daddy thinks it great that she can entertain herself for hours with her sidewalk chalk. What a great investment!

What to draw now?

Oh! I know!

Circles are fun!

Little Piggey

Mama was so excited to dig out the Little Piggey costume for Chloe today. Mama bought this special costume for Baby Girl last year, but it was too big for her to wear. Good thing it fits cause Miss Chloe loved dressing up as a pig!

Wow! I'm a pig!

Oink! Oink!

Now I'm hungry for some reason!

Playing in the Park

Mama and Daddy decided to venture off into the new neighborhood with Baby Girl. Chloe loved riding her bike, checking out the new hood and playing in the park.

Where to now?

This way Daddy!

Just Like Daddy

Chloe loves to be just like Daddy. Sometimes she comes into his office and pretends like she's "working."

Can I help you?

First Night at New Home

Katie's Birthday

The Phans celebrated Katie's 10th Birthday today. The family chowed down at Katie's favorite restaurant and when it was time for cake there was a surprise...the ice cream cake was a melted mess! Good thing the girls didn't care and ate it anyways.

I love sand!!!

Bubble Bath pllllease!

Pool Partay

Today was a full day for Phan family. In the morning, Mommy and Daddy took Chloe to the kiddie area in the mall so she could have some fun indoors. Baby Girl played her heart out with all the kiddoes around her while Daddy enjoyed taking pics of her with the new camera. After a fun day at the mall, the family headed to Chloe's friend Becca's 4th birthday pool party. Baby Girl had a blast playing with all of her friends, swimming and eating birthday treats. By the end of the day, the whole family was pooped!

Happy Baby!

Rainforest Cafe

Mama and Daddy decided to take Chloe and Katie out to a nice dinner at the Rainforest Cafe. At first, Baby Girl was scared of all the thunder and lightening in the restaurant. She also thought the animal noises were a bit too much. But after a little while Chloe warmed up to the idea of the novelty restaurant.

Minnie and Mickey Mouse

Aunt Phuong surprised the cousins by getting them each a stuffed Minnie and Mickey Mouse. Who would have known that the kids would have been so quickly attached to their new stuffed animals.

First Day at St. Catherine's Montessori

Chloe had her first day of school at St. Catherine's Montessori today. As usual, Daddy had to travel out of town this week so Mama helped Baby Girl on her big transition day with a little help from Cousin Katie. The first thing Chloe did at her new classroom was explore around for a bit. After getting a little comfortable with her new surroundings, Mama and Katie had to say goodbye and wish Baby Girl well on her first day of school.
