Half marathon, bye family home, babies growing

It's again been a while since my April blog! Stephen and I just returned from time with family, although I had to be at office.

My parents have sold our 20 year family home. Theyre downsizing to a condo. Tons of good and bad memories, but more notably TONNES of stuff to purge. Content sales, craigslist, donations and more were coordinated by my sisters and we tried to help where possible. Fingers crossed it goes smoothly next week!

The babies are getting bigger: Adam and Kristin almost one, Joven can walk now at 13+ months, Denise/Saima/Subarna due any time now! Traffic has worsened in Toronto. I wonder if transit will ever catch up in this metropolis!?

On the personal front, in late May, Stephen and I completed our first Half marathon in Singapore! Damn it was hot. At least the Sundown Event started at 12:30am ... We survived although it was painful. Good route around the city state major landmarks. Then it thunder down poured right when we finished. Poor guys doing the Full! All about good pacing! I finished in too 15% of ladies so I guess I am happy! Would probably race another half before trying a full.... In somewhere less humid!

Also Stephen got to meet more of my extended family in Singapore; some of them joked that my husband was a mystery and probably didn't exist until he met them personally! Thereafter I went with Mom to Kuala Lumpur for her mini high school reunion. After that we saw more cousins and my grandpa's brother as well. Back ti Singapore where dad met us, had a huge family dinner to celebrate their wedding anniversary. Weeks of work travel then ensued to Taipei, Seattle and Austin (Boston Sloan reunion also).

So so so happy to be back in hk. Already made my first bread loaf... My new hobby since loading up on carbs pre-marathon!
