Sweet Summertime in Singapore

Life lately for the Nugents...

He can spot a crane in the sky from a mile away.

Jammin' with Pop!

Playground love...

I just love this little picture Katy took of Graham!
She was such big help with him and he was heartbroken when she left.

Katy shared a few photos of her recent visit

Katy toured the Orchid Gardens

"Big Brother"

Miss Caroline Coyne arrived June 26.  Our American families suggest her birthday is June 25.    Either way, two days  of birthday celebrations can't be a bad thing.

Party of Four

Beyond blessed to have these two healthy children.

Sweet Caroline

Sweet Katy meeting Caroline.

Daddy's little girl!
Jason even hit the malls to make sure Caroline had a hint of pink in her closet when we arrived home.

So happy to have Gran B visit us!

Love this photo of Gran D and Graham

Yes, my child knows a famous drunken Aunt Penny tea cookie when he sees one...these festive 4th of July cookies were flown in from the USA especially for Graham August.
They are quite delicious I may add.  (Thank you, Aunt Penny!) 

Dad celebrated his 60th birthday with his two grandchildren.

Singapore really comes to life at night.

Jason took Dad on a field trip to check out the shipyard and new rig.

Dad was amazed by all of the high rises and architecture.

Chinatown temple

St. Andrews Anglican Church is over 150 years old and has been struck by lightening twice.

We couldn't let them leave Singapore without trying the famous pepper crab.

Those lips...
Graham can't quite pronounce "Caroline", so he just calls her "lion".

Mom and Dad took this photo of the city from the Marina Bay Sands.

Summertime is in full swing in Singapore, but our stay here is beginning to sunset...

Then Graham Was Two

  We celebrated Graham's 2nd birthday recently with much less fanfare compared to his first one in Thibodaux.  But, we still managed to make the most of our little boy's special day--birthday pancakes, a trip to the jump house, cake and ice cream, and even a few cards and presents too (some shipped all the way from the US).   By the looks of it, I suspect one little boy was just as happy though!

Sentosa, School, Snips, and a Safari from Singapore

Sentosa Universal Studios

First School Days

And the smile has definitely faded to tears since these pictures were taken...I guess learning Chinese will do that to a child.  Ha!

First Snips 

After two years, it was finally time for the child to have his first haircut...

One last photo before his first haircut.

Daniel was so patient with Graham.  He used to cut our hair when we lived in Singapore three years ago as well.  

Singapore Night Safari

We managed a few photos.  Flash photography of the animals isn't permitted.  I wish I could have snapped a photo or two of Graham's roaring at the lions.  It was definitely a priceless parent moment.

So grown up and handsome.
