Orlando!

We took a little trip to Orlando, to show Nolan and Nathan the wonders of Disney World and SeaWorld. The weather was pretty good, except for one frozen day at Animal Kingdom, and the kids got to spend time with my mom and dad. Unfortunately, we never made it out to Liquidation World, like I vowed to myself last time.

Nolan’s favourite parts of the trip were the parking lot tram and monorail at Disney World, so rather than making return trips to Orlando, we’ll be visiting cities with active monorail systems, like Tokyo, Chongqing, Wuppertal, or Shanghai.

Fall 2011 Update

Things are pretty good here at Chao Industries. The last few months have really flown by.

Nathan’s now about five months old, and he’s growing quickly. Rita’s really enjoying time off with him. I’m also on leave, but looking for something new to do in the New Year, so we’re really lucky to be able to spend this much time with the new baby. Nolan’s really enjoying being a big brother, and has a lot to say these days.

Welcome, New Baby

Nathan Chao, Age 12 Days

It’s really hard to put into words how fortunate we’re feeling these days. You might have heard that we welcomed a new little boy into our family a few weeks ago. After all the brushes with medical science we’ve been through over the last few months, we’re really happy to have good news to report. Translations differ on the meaning of the baby name we chose, but “Nathan,” which can be read to mean “Gift from God,” seemed like a wonderful way of expressing how blessed we felt, to be able to welcome the little guy into our lives.

As you might be able to tell from the photos below, Nolan’s an enthusiastic big brother. Rita’s doing well, too. We’re all looking forward to a warm, sunny Toronto summer to enjoy together.
