It’s 2017! Actually for a while now, and this is a very delayed first post for the new year. Despite many attempts to post on Kremb de la Kremb, the wifi was never quite strong enough, but our return family trip to India was beyond amazing. I can’t wait to share more of that in the near future….
Posting problems aside, I am very, very happy to have this mini me post be the first of the Kremb de la Kremb new year. Yes, this blog is an attempt at a style blog, but my family does come first, and therefore deserves the first post of the 2017 year. Back in late November, the four of us–our two mini-mes (I have looked up the plural of mini-me and it is mini-mes) went up to the Peak in Hong Kong for a walk (my first with the new hip which was one of my goals) to take our Christmas picture. This was the Christmas picture that was supposed to be sent out in December as a Christmas card, but hey, the picture of the four of us together was an awful picture that wouldn’t work, but these pictures did! (The Christmas card will now be a New Year from a picture chosen from one of the many family pics taken from our trip to India…)
I call reference to mini-me of this first post of 2017 because I’ll be honest: I think each one of our kids is a little mini-me of each of us. Gigi definitely has my facial structure, freckle complexion, and Freuen nose. Yet, Gigi’s eyes are all Krembs–seriously, she’s actually a mini-me of the other Ann Krembs, Kevin’s sister. There are pictures of the other Ann at 13, and it’s seriously hard to tell the two of them apart. Meanwhile, Vincent is a total mini-me of Kevin; I mean they seem identical. But while Gigi’s eyes are all Krembs, Vincent’s face my be Krembs but his eyes and eyebrows are all Freuen. See, each of our kiddos are each a mini-me of each of us. How lucky are we?! I have to admit seeing myself (and Kevin) in each of my kids is such a wonderful pleasure. What else is a pleasure is when these two cute and handsome teenagers allow me to post them on the blog. It’s a special moment when they give me the yeah. So here are the four of us, playing around in an exercise park up on the Peak of Hong Kong. Enjoy! And happy, happy belated new year!
Wow!! You are looking happier with each posting Ann. It’s obvious that you’re able to enjoy and more fully participate in the kind of family adventures you’ve been craving. “Pinky” is serving you well.
YAHOO!!
Your minis are darling and we’ll loved. You all look twinfully cute! Clearly 2017 is off to a great start for the Krembs family!!
Oh Jude! I was so happy on this day. I was so excited that I had completed this walk, the walk out to Chung Hom Kok, and the jungle walk (a relatively easy hike but beautiful nonetheless in the hills of Hong Kong). Now….ugh! I am back on pain killers and cautious with each step. Will there be some good out of all this?! Ergggghhhh!! Yep, that’s me being a Debbie Downer. Now, back to it. Thank you for always being such a loyal reader even though I’m not always the most loyal blogger. Eeek!
Ok, I’ll end my reply now before I become any more negative!! Hahhah!
Love, Annie
great pictures and I love the Tee the two of you are wearing. It belongs in my holiday box ( yep I have one of those too, Christmas clothing )
Isn’t it a gem! I just packed my holiday box away too actually. Oh, so sad to see it go. I love my holiday box. I took this size 13/14 girls tee and stretched the bejesus out of it!! Hahaha! I love the girls’ department! Love, Ann
Thank you so much Diane! Every now and then they let me put them up here. And to think Kremb de la Kremb started as a family blog!
I’m so glad you are a reader too. Yeah! I am sorry for not being so consistent all the time. And look! It took me a full month to reply to your kind comment. Goodness me!!
Thank you again. Love, Ann
