I’ve been back at work, and it’s been tough. Kim has made it a bit easier by sending me lots of updates. She sends me pictures from time to time, which makes me smile every time, and I really appreciate it. I still miss the
In Chinese culture, one of the important celebrations is a 30 Day celebration. This is probably a cultural relic from the times when a lot of infants didn’t survive that long, so a new birth wasn’t celebrated until the 30 day mark. It’s typically food
We were just chilling on the floor, having a good time. She was awake, and had the hiccups (again!) and was being pretty vocal, but not screaming, so I decided to catch a minute or two….It went on much longer… If you don’t see
Is when my baby sleeps on my chest. She loves it, and it just feels right. And I don’t mean “one of my favorite things about parenting”. I mean “one of my favorite things”. Period.
Oh Hazel! My little truffle pig. I’ve wanted a baby for so long and now I have one and you’re even better than I imagined… From Geoff to Hazel. Made my heart melt.
[nggallery id=4]It’s hard to believe she’s 15 days old already. Wow. Much of the last two weeks has been spent changing diapers and feeding, but sometimes, in between, we just chill. She’s opening her eyes more, and will sometimes just stare. It’s cute. She’s
We’ve had a ton of nice visitors coming by over the last few weeks. Unfortunately, I haven’t been all that good about remembering to take photos, but I have snapped a few. [nggallery id=3]
It was a tough decision coming up with a name. We both had some desires, some things that we wanted included. I wanted to honor my Grandpa. Although I love and hold dear all my grandparents, my paternal step-grandfather was always particularly special to me.
Tonight, she had some hiccups. It’s the kind of thing that probably only parents and grandparents would find as entertaining as we did, but we loved it. It was also some of the longest views of her eyes we’ve had. Right now, they are a
Our little girl was born with Jaundice. Apparently it’s relatively common, affecting something like 1/2 of the babies born. If it’s treated, it’s no big deal, and we are happy and blessed that she was born with no serious medical issues. I had a hard
Kim – We had all of nine months to prepare, and though we were nearly completely ready, we still hadn’t done the essential preparations like car seat installations, finishing packing the hospital bag, and selecting a pediatrician. However, on August 11, after my OB nicked
This picture is nearly a month old, and Kim is quite a bit bigger now. We’ve had several nice showers thrown by generous friends, spent a lot of time getting things ready, and I’m starting to feel ready. We’ve taken the classes. We’ve read the
My father, Malcolm, and step-mom Deborah invited Kim and I out to Utah for a long weekend. Unfortunately, Deborah wasn’t able to make the trip, she was missed, but we had a good time anyway. We spent a fair bit of time wandering Salt Lake
These pictures were some of the earliest, and best views we got of our baby. [nggallery id=1]
Kim’s Uncle Hoa was in town in January, and we decided to take him kayaking. Kim’s mom joined us, along with Kim’s brother Ton and sister in law Cecilia. Kim’s mom was a little nervous, so we put her in the tandem with me, and
This was written in 2004, by Kim Luu. I found it on the computer, and am sharing it here because it’s really a good read. The pictures are from a more recent trip to Vietnam that Kim took in 2010, with her mom and others

Holy crap, I jumped out of a perfectly good airplane today. Kim and I went skydiving today, to celebrate my having lost over 50 lbs. It started with her friend Enrique, who had suggested it. Kim asked if I was interested, but I said that
I was at a work event in Detroit, scheduled to leave at noon to fly to Texas to see my Grandma. Her health had been failing, and I wanted desperately to see her one last time. When I saw my mom’s cell number on my
Locks of Love is a public non-profit organization that provides hairpieces to financially disadvantaged children in the United States and Canada under age 18 suffering from long-term medical hair loss from any diagnosis. I’m very proud of my thoughtful wife, who donated her hair to
Kim’s brother Ton married Wu Ping (Secilia) last Saturday. It was a very nice ceremony, followed by a nice reception with the traditional 10 course Chinese food dinner. Kim and I wish them many, many years of happy marriage. [nggallery id=”1561″ nggid=”24″]
