Biggest Fans of Sierra

Andre Romeo and Melina Sophia watch Ate Sierra solve the puzzle.

A Whiz Kid?

Sierra Rose completes a 15-piece jig saw puzzle out of a sealed box under 5 minutes. Her favourite Dora puzzle takes her less than that. She also mixed her 3 sets of jig saws and completed them separately - at the same time.

Our Arizona Trip

Hello all,

We just returned this morning from an exciting trip to Phoenix, Arizona where the temperature hovered between 93-98 degrees F since day one. We arrived Friday, Nov 2 in Phoenix' Sky-Harbor airport where we found our "kumare", Cora (Min's godmother) bewildered by our surprise appearance at the exit gate. She thought all along that they were picking up Lau & her sister. It was Cora's b-day on Oct 21, Pareng Tony, mareng Belle & mareng Lau successfully pulled this one off.

It was a memorable trip for us and we're hoping to do this again soon. Thanks to Cora & Tony for their gracious hospitality, thanks Belle for cooking the delicious food & thanks to Lau for planning this event. Our thanks also goes to Irma, Alain & Ruben.

Lots of thanks to pareng Tony for taking the beautiful photographs, especially the wild flowers of Arizona.

Regards,

Rom & Josie
