About ED

The growth of the blog today would not have been possible without the addition of his 3 lovely children. They have brought countless joy and smiles to both ED and his wife. Introducing N1:

Nicole was born on June 19, 2005. Besides having the same birthday as her father, Nicole has the inevitable task of being one of the leading actress on this blog! However, she seems to have a passion for the limelight, and she is always ever-ready for Daddy to ‘snap’ a picture of her.

Nathan was born on 6 Feb, 2007. We wanted No. 2 really quick, as we wanted them to be close. After having Nathan, we realized that boys are very different from girls, and we could tell the differences in their character almost immediately. Nathan is the strong silent type, with a charming personality, them seems to melt our heart every time.

Nadine was born on 15 April, 2008. Affectionately know as “Mei-Mei” (Little sister), she is a real “sweetie” of the family. She seems to be speaking the fastest, and has a real passion for music. She dances by herself when she hears her favorite melody, and she is also the most “Smiley” of all of our children. Hopefully, she will continue to bring joy where ever she goes! 🙂

And together…they are my family! We are not perfect, and we all come in different sizes! The best thing about this family, is that we enjoy being around each other, and we believe in having fun!

Being a Parent is never easy, and as they say, it takes a village to raise a child. Through Parenting and blogging about our journey, we have made many friends along the way. We have enjoyed networking with many various organizations and meeting many other parenting bloggers along the way.

It has certainly been an unforgettable journey, and we hope that you will enjoy reading about our adventures! 🙂
