"It's the SIMPLE things in life that count."

Marriage, family, friends...relationships.
Peace, Hope, Faith...LOVE.

But there is a lot of laundry, dishes, tears & laughter, messes, homework,
hair to fix, teaching, learning, stress and fun along the way!

Norton's visit

We really enjoyed having our visitors.  They were such easy going travelers and let us haul them all over Singapore doing and seeing the things we seem to only do when we have guests.

We filled this private room right up at Din Tai Fung.
Have I mentioned that I am really going to miss this place?

after dinner we got Thai Mango Sticky Rice
(the best non-chocolate dessert around!)
and ate it on Orchard Rd while we watched all the people
 Little India
Jory and Cayden got henna on their big, muscley biceps 
Oh, and Ava got henna too.

Nan can't pass by a veggie market without buying some veggies...since that's about all she eats!


I had to get a shot of me paying our cable and utility bills at 7-11
seems so normal to me after doing it for so long

none of us were hungry, but we had some time to kill before
Lisel's i-touch screen would be fixed,  so we decided to
have them try some indian food on banana leaves.
more baking with Nan in the kitchen,
she was always whipping up something when she had a spare moment
Local Market
the girls wanted Mandy to try a Sweet Talk
she loved the pearls!


Ans
and they used their money they'd earned to buy supplies
to take to the primary kids in KK

Stel



 Back to Orchard
one of my all time fave's!
my mom said, "he is really aging well"
yes he is

$1 street ice creams were always a hit
they even tried Durian!

Nan got Pop roped into taking the kids to Smiggle.
It's a trendy little stationary store that the girls have been wanting to go too.
Notice where Pop is standing?
Not sure he was thrilled about this little stop

I LOVE my mom!
Chinatown

Noodle man
pretty amazing watching this guy make these noodles with only his hands
Lan Zhou La Mian
No 19 Smith Street
6327 1286

shooping in Chinatown always puts big smiles on the girls faces
 Wacky Duck and Double Decker Bus Tour: after wandering around in Chinatown, we were all hot and tired.  Pop treated us all to this land and sea ride so our legs could rest a bit.  It's a great way to see the sights without walking your legs off.









we took a walk around the Fountain of Wealth
supposedly the largest fountain in the world
my girls have the best Aunts and Uncles
they are so lucky

 Walking Night Shots:



Cayden and the ladies...once again

Pit stop at the Fullerton Hotel....Nice place for a potty break when walking around the waterfront..

Sunset at Woodlands Waterfront Park
looking across to Malaysia

We really enjoyed our time with the Norton's
we loved being with them and showing them this side of the world

                                 So glad you came and that we made these fun memories together!
