December quickly turned to February!

Okay, so i'm a little slow on updating our blog. December and January are such a blur for our family. We celebrated Christmas and New Year in Malaysia with Vivien's family and we returned to the States on Jan.15th. Ever since, we have all been playing catch-up with our schedule. In between, John's been to California for a week for work and last week, he was in Iowa for a week. We sadly found out that his dad has 2 tumors - in the brain and lung. Today, he's going in for surgery to remove the tumor in the brain and for them to run tests on it. Keeping Jim in our prayers!

Back to our vacation, it was wonderful. Some of the highlights from our trip:

• Caleb celebrated his 1st birthday with about 80 or so guests at my parents house
• Vivien, her best friend Ramona and Ramona's sister went for a Thai body massage and had dinner at Hard Rock Cafe in KL to celebrate her bridal shower
• We took a trip to Langkawi (an island up north, close to the Thailand border) with the whole family
• Caleb started walking at 12 months and Vivien's family got to witness it!
• Vivien was matron of honor at her bestfriend's (Ramona) wedding at that was an incredible day!!!
