Happy New Year!

Hi everyone! Just two tidbits for you right now:

• This blog is moving - or going on hiatus, depending on how you look at it. From now, we (the Chengberg family) will be blogging over here. There is some big news over there (not to mention all our future updates) so you might want to check it out....
  

• Due to recent sad celebrity news, Kawasaki Disease (KD) has been in the headlines a lot this week, so I thought I should finally dust off an old blog post we never completed, about our own harrowing experience with Kawasaki Disease in August 2007. Hopefully it will help educate and reassure anyone who might actually come across KD in the future.
  

Goodbye for now!
- Bryce (and family)

September Updates

Hi everyone! It has been a busy couple of months! Here are just a few photos until Mommy gets time to upload a complete album. First, here are Daddy and me in front of our new home (we moved in early August.)

I started my first gymnastics class. Here I am running on the trampoline. Olympics 2024, here I come!

We went to Daddy's work picnic. I went swimming, played in the ball pit, and ate blueberry ice cream. I like blueberry ice cream!
Mommy and me relaxing in the ball pit (she didn't do a good job of cleaning my face - note leftover blueberry ice cream....)
That same weekend in early September, I also visited Oak Meadow Park, where I rode the train, the carousel, their real bomber airplane, and (below) drove a fire truck.
FINALLY - it was my birthday weekend, and here is my first big present from Mommy and Daddy: my own play structure and slide (I really like slides.) It also has a wheel so I can "drive" it.
Then came the day of my big party, and another new present (from Ah-gong and Ah-mah) - it arrived about 5 minutes before the party started and was a big hit with all the other kids... a sand and water table.Aunt Helen sharing my birthday cake with me. Some people at the party ate their own piece of cake without sharing any with me - how selfish.
More fun at the water table - here with Adam and Uncle Ivan.
Later, Adam, Oliver and I turned my playtent into a mosh pit.

Hope you all enjoyed that - more to come when Mommy's back in town with some free time!
Love,
Bryce

June Fun and Photos

Here are some fun videos from May, as promised. First, here I am enjoying a playdate with Max and Isabel.


Here I am at Happy Hollow, enjoying the fire truck ride (sorry it's sideways - oops! mommy needs to remember that about the camera....)



For Father's Day we went hiking with Adam and his family. Then in late June we went to celebrate more family birthdays with Ah-gong and Ah-mah. Here's something new: a slideshow (incl. video) from Picasa. To see the whole album, click here.



Bye for now - see you next month!

May 2008 Highlights

For Mother's Day we went out to dinner with Ah-mah, Ah-gong, and Aunt Helen and Uncle Ivan. I got to eat lamb chops for the first time, including these fun bones to knaw on!
I also started my new part time job as a farm laborer in Ah-mah's vegetable garden. She put me to work picking fava beans, which are yummy (though better after you cook them). Here are Uncle Ivan's picture of me working in the garden.
Here I am hanging out with my friend Adam. We met a cute little girl at the library; we were both engrossed with watching her.
On Memorial Day weekend, we went camping on Angel Island, out in the San Francisco Bay (this was actually our 2nd camping trip of the month - I am quite the pro now). We had to take a ferry, then walk a mile (well, I got a ride in the stroller) to our beautiful campsite with its panoramic views. I like camping - tons of space to run around and pick up sticks and rocks. We also had a private beach, so Daddy and I could throw lots of rocks into the water!



We also went to Happy Hollow for the first time, and I got to ride a carousel, drive a fire engine (I liked the bell!) and pet a goat.

Happy Hollow also has a really cool maze that I liked running through. Too bad HH is closing (it will re-open in a year or so but the maze is going away....)
That's all for this time - coming soon: another visit with Ah-mah and Ah-gong, Father's Day, and some new videos!

Love,
Bryce

April Photos

Hi everyone! Just some quick snaps of what we've been up to in the last month. First of all, we went to Vail, Colorado to visit Aunt Becky, Uncle Kevin, and Cousin Aedan. I didn't like the snow that much, but I really liked the swimming pool at the local rec center! Here are Aedan and I enjoying the kiddie pool.

A couple weekends ago Mommy and I went clubbing! Yes, she took me to Baby Loves Disco. We had a lot of fun - I LOVED the bubble machine. My uncle Ivan also came down for a visit and took some nice pictures.

Here's the whole slide show from Uncle Ivan - including shots of our February visit to the DeYoung Museum sculpture garden.

That's all for now! Mommy's off on another biz trip soon (to Ireland) so Daddy and I will be holding down the fort (wish us luck).

Love,
Bryce
