Singapore 2011

After a tiring day in the bird park, we strolled the glittery and bright lights hanging all-around the Orchard road.

Enjoy the water park and food.

We got to visit the Jurung Bird's Park in Singapore and enjoy the beautiful orchid flowers.

It is a huge blessing to us to let Nanay Angie, Glenda's mom and sister Janna to come and meet us up in Singapore and have some fun before our knee surgery.

Preschool time

Marielle is in Pre-school now, yay!

Each mom who has a pre-school kid has to teach a letter in alphabet. Therefore, each week we take turn to teach a letter to the 5 kiddos . So, today is my turn to teach letter "E"!

Our craft is to make an envelope out of a colored paper. I got a very nice stamp to each of them as post stamp. The kids were so happy to make one for their moms. Inside the envelope is a cut-out heart, butterfly or a star for them to write something to their Mom or Dad.

These two girls are Dutch and the 3 boys are Americans. There will be another Dutch girl that will be joining them by December. These kids are sons and daughters of WYcliffe Bible translators, Yajasi or SIL, New Tribes Mission and Mission Aviation Fellowship.
