| Fall has been a good season. Daddy left the internet startup for a more "family friendly" position. Now that we have "more" time, Daddy's at it again. We went to a pumpkin patch and Daddy carved a pumpkin for the new millenium. Be sure to check it out. |  |
June 2000
| Life at home has been extremely hectic. Dad left his old work place and started a new job at an Internet startup in February. The hours have been grueling and difficult on the family, and consequently, our website hasn't been updated until now. Overall, the family is doing well. In the past 6 months, Mom returned to work 2 days a week. Kyle is enjoying Day Care. Jarrod turned 2 years old. The family returned from an Alaskan vacation in early June. Although there aren't a lot of pictures to show, you can take a look at some cute pix of Kyle, Jarrod and their cousins, Alicia, and Brandon. More Pictures. |  |

Ringing in the new year was pretty uneventful. Watched the ball drop in Times Square and watched the Hollywood sign light upon TV. When Kyle went to the Dr. right before Christmas, he was 7 lbs 6 oz. He must be over 8 lbs now. Jarrod returned to day care 2 days a week. He seems to be having lots of fun there and comes home dirty. Mommy is recovering slowly. Daddy is readjusting to work on a full time basis. We are spending most of our free time trying to recover from all of the Christmas presents that Jarrod got. He opened them over several days starting on Christmas. He's really gotten "into" opening gifts... so much so that he's opened gifts that don't belong to him.

| On Saturday, the two brothers, Jarrod & Kyle, finally meet. Kyle gets to meet a few other people too. Aunty Lu-gee is wearing the "CLA" sweatshirt. |  |
December 10, 1999
| At 10:33pm, Kyle Pui-gi Leong was born, weighing in at 6lbs, 10oz, and mesuring 19 inchess long. Mommy's recovery will be a little slow. Daddy is pretty beat. |  |

| Over the past couple of weeks, Jarrod has been exploring the world a lot more and showing a lot more excitement. He empahatically asks to watch "Veg Tay" (Veggie Tales) or play "Fa" (Farm) on the computer and laughs gleefully when we say yes. Jarrod found his sunglasses (with no more lenses) and wanted to put them on, probably because he's often amazed by Daddy's glasses. It's amazing what a pair of glasses and hiking boots can do for a child. |  |

It's Father's day and Jarrod is walking like a mad man. It's sooo cute to see him wandering aimlessly with a big ole smile. We took him "swimming" in a swimming pool ... it took him a little while to get comfortable, but he seemed to enjoy himself.
Cousin Alicia came over to visit and Jarrod seems to be awfully affectionate with her, giving her hugs, and then a whack on the head.
On Friday, daddy went to Father's Day icecream social at his school.

We took Jarrod strawberry picking ... he could care less about picking strawberries, but boy, does he like to EAT THEM.
May 8, 1999
It's mother's day weekend and Jarrod takes his first free standing steps. Our life is going to change rapidly.

Here's a picture of Jarrod and his cousin Alica. Aren't
they cute? It was taken last month. Their Daddy's were surprised
at how cooperative Jarrod and Alicia were. Their grandparents were
exceptionally proud to show everyone the cute picture of the two of them.
At this stage, Jarrod is crawling like mad man and can stand while holding on to something. He also loves to take brisk strolls with his walker, although he can't turn around on his own. Alicia is sleeping through the night, and can't quite turn over on her own |

Jarrod is almost 11 months old now. Poor guy got an ear infection AGAIN. But he is recovering and seems to be in good spirits after having a very unenthusiastic appetite over the weekend. Jarrod can easily pull up to a stand using his walker. Dad hasn't gotten his act together to put more Pix on the web.

Jarrod is using his little walker a lot and learning to methodically traverse the livingroom. Ocassionally, he'll take a spill, but get up more determined then ever and try to keep walking. He seems to really like reading books. Brown Bear, Brown Bear seems to really capture his attention. Last night, Jarrod let go of the walker in an attempt to grab a book laying on the couch. He actually stood without support for a whopping 2 seconds before plopping to the ground. Jarrod is about 19 lbs now, has 4 teeth, and is eating us out of house and home.

Haven't been able to update the site much. Jarrod's dad will try and get better at it, even if he doesn't add pictures. In summary, here's what's been going on. Around Christmas time, Jarrod started to get up on all fours. By New Years, he was able to crawl clumsily. By the end of January, he could crawl with a lot of determinination. By the beginning of February, he could pull himself up to a stand.

Jarrod gets to dress up for Halloween for the very first
time. We think he is awfully cute, but then again, we are a bit biased.
Dad also carved a pretty cool pumkpkin. You can see a closeup of the pumpkin if you like. |

Jarrod started eating carrots this week. As you can see above, mommy and daddy had fun dressing him up for Halloween. He went to the church Halloween alternative, and had fun visiting everyone with his Gung Gung and Po po while his Mom and Dad helped children "fish animals out of the water" at ARKs game booth.

Jarrod and I have finally met. Jarrod isn't a whole lot of fun yet, but he seems to like watching me play fetch with his daddy. Sometimes, Jarrod and daddy will sit down at the back door and feed me cookies. Jarrod watches me with amazement, and sometimes he will reach out and touch my ears. It's hard to believe that Jarrod is 6 months old now. He started eating solids.
A couple of weeks ago, Jarrod got his first new cousin, Alicia! Alicia and her mommy had a tough time at the hospital, but I understand that they are doing much better now, even after Alicia was born much earlier then expected.
Hi! I'm Pebbles Head. This is my home away from home. When you come and visit me, I'll bring you images from my masters. They are really nice, but are too cheap to mail photos too you. So, they painstakenly crop images for your viewing pleasure.
This is my friend, Barney
Butt. He's pretty nice to me 'cuz he let's me sleep in his house when
I come over to visit. Barney and I are good friends. But Barney misses
Darren.
Since Darren moved away with his main squeeze, he really looks forward to when Pat comes over to visit, because a lot of times, Pat will bring me too!
