Today we decided to spend the day in Santa Monica. It has been a while since we could go on an outing as a family and since it has been so hot at home...the nice cool breeze of the ocean called us out! Happy family on the pier. Yes, we are that happy family :)
Quick look at camera...
...then all eyes back on the water.
Screams of Joy...from Joy Mei.
Sisters enjoying the beach.
Mommy and daughter :)
Not sure what Grace was making. I think it was just fun for her to get dirty.
Here are some photos of the day Joy came to our family! :)
We arrived at St. Lucy's Center a bit early. The hotel told us that it would take about 20 minutes to get there but actually made it in about 10.
I recorded the ride to St. Lucy's too, but have not watched it yet. It was an interesting ride, especially driving don the alley ways of Tainan.
It was very nice and mostly calm there. St. Lucy's had a very nice court yard too.
We walked up the steps and waited on one of the benches. They told us that Monday was cleaning day so it would be a few minutes before they would be ready for us. We apologised for being a bit early but it was really no problem for them. It gave us time to relax, take a few photos and talk with the translator for awhile.
Here is Mommy and Happy Grace!
More photos of St. Lucy's.
This is the waiting room where they would be eventually be bringing Joy. They were giving her a bath at this time.
The room had a nice play area too. Grace had fun trying out the toys!
...and then she was...our Joy!
First family photo. Well, the nurse is not "really" family...but you understand.
