Singapore, May 2008

In April, Jason's parents, Glenn and Karen came to visit us for the last time in KL. They took a special trip to Singapore with Nathan and Jason to see the sights. Taking the duck tour of the city (a bus that goes on land and in the water!). Everyone enjoyed the trip!

Views of Singapore. The Smith's loved it! Nathan's second trip here- his favorite of course is the night safari! (below)

We're (Nathan and I) getting ready for one more trip there this weekend (June 24)!

Family Photos

We just had family photos taken today- by a sweet friend of mine, Nikki Wilson-- and wanted to post them right away! The boys were so excited this morning! Andrew was wound up and more interested in climbing up and down the stairs than having photos taken.  Nathan did a super job of trying to get his brother to pose for the camera! 

Nathan's Birthday- April 9, 2008

For Nathan's birthday, we made cupcakes inside icecream cones and let the kids decorate with icing and sprinkles in the classroom. We also read the Dr. Suess (Nathan's current favorite author) Happy Birthday book. It was a big hit!

We invited just a few of his friends to the climbing wall @ Camp 5 (the largest in SouthEast Asia). He's a mountain goat! He can climb so quickly all the way to the top.

Yoga April 2008

As a part of my Yoga Alliance certification, I created a poster to sell where the proceeds go to charity that moms could use at home for self practice for pre/post natal yoga. (This is one side of it above, post natal. There's another side not pictured with pre-natal.) In May, I held charity classes at Fit for 2, where I teach weekly prenatal yoga and hatha yoga, that raised RM2000 for an orphanage (www.Agathians.org) here in KL Here's a link to a newspaper article: http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2008/5/11/healthnfitness/21137162&sec=healthnfitness.

Bible Study, March 2008

A few of the ladies from Bible study- a night out. (Clockwise, Melissa Geanette, Teresa, Lay Har, Amy (fearless leader), Suzanne, and Cindy)

I've attended a Bible study at MKIS (Nathan's school) since we arrived in KL, held on Monday afternoons. Nathan and his friends had afterschool activites, then were looked after by a sitter. Here's Nathan & Andrew with the Gerberding kids- Andrew is especially taken with Josh (the one holding the book). And Josh loved having Andrew tag along. : )

Easter Sunday, March 2008

Nathan sang with a group of 7-10 year olds in church for Easter Sunday. Richard, from China nearest to Nathan. And, Jacob and Lauren, friends from school also there.

Andrew & friend, Gabbi, enjoying Easter treats.

Jeni, friend and Pastor Todd's wife, leading the kids in songs.

Happy Birthday Jason: March 5, 2008

Jason and I went to see Harry Connick, Jr. at the Malaysian Philharmoic Orchestra. He was great live and even funnier than I remembered (politically incorrect, especially for a Muslim country) from seeing him years ago.
