Officially her first coat. Even though Curie already has a coat and a snowsuit, yesterday’s snow meant we had to buy a new coat at the mall.
Curie Smile
So Curie has been smiling for a while, but it is hard to catch in a picture. We were trying on her Halloween costume and this is what we got. It is blurry, but sometimes it is not the technical aspect that makes the picture.
Curie’s Stretch
This is for Erin, Curie has this very long stretch when she wakes up. It is even more cute when you hold her, she leans way back as if she doesn’t know that she could fall, which she doesn’t and we wouldn’t let her, but it is quite the feeling having her in your arms.
Happy One Month Birthday, Curie!
So there is some debate whether I should count 28 days, four weeks, for Curie’s one month birthday or do the day of the month. Bernard rightly asserts that it would be too difficult to count 28 days, so October 10th marks Curie’s one month birthday. In the Chen tradition started by Suephy and continued by Bernard, we will take a family picture for the month as well as her daily picture. Below is her one month collage with each picture representing each day. We made the comment that she hasn’t changed that much. 🙂
Facebook or website blog?
So for some reason we have not posted any pictures to Facebook on Curie. There were reasons we didn’t do it when we found out and ever since then we just haven’t been very public about it. Somehow the privacy makes it more personal, and more special, but at the same time we want to tell everyone what is going on (if you are interested). The people who come to this site to see our pictures are already in the know and so we don’t really need to post it elsewhere. However, I do know how much more convenient it is to post on Facebook and get a news feed right away. In fact, we really do need to make an announcement about Curie there for the friends and family that we have not directly let know. It is also much easier to update Facebook than this blog, though pictures will remain largely here since I post a lot of pictures :). What do you think? I know of one person at least who reads this blog but is not on Facebook and another person who recently stopped her Facebook account. So what do you think, do we post milestones here on on Facebook? Write us a comment to let us know.
BTW Curie started grasping things two days ago and just now (which prompted this entry) began to track us visually. It is pretty exciting, and those of you who are parents know. Those of you who are not, well, it is like watching home movies or slide shows, you can tell it is exciting for us, but you may be bored. 🙂 Oh and she outgrew the preemie clothes.
Oh Curie is four weeks old yesterday/today, which I thought to be one month, but people are telling me it is the calendar month, so tomorrow is her one month birthday. Wish her a happy birthday! 🙂

Pictures are up! Tell us a wedding story.
Okay, we are going to revamp the whole site to be more than just the wedding but for now you can find our wedding and honeymoon pictures along with all of our other photos in “Our Photos,” or you can click on the appropriate picture to gt there.
Our photographer Tara’s pictures can be found on our website, but if you met Yischon, you know he is also an accomplished photographer; his pictures can be found here. Finally, all of those cameras on the tables will be returned today (11/19) so we’ll post those soon.
One note, if you have a wedding story you think we’d like to hear, please post them to the comments section of this entry, we have been hearing the funniest things from our wedding that we didn’t even know happened.
Getting about that time
Okay, some updates:
Everyone is invited to the Rehearsal Dinner and the dress is casual– though we might be in slightly more than casual attire 🙂 . I am thinking button down and sport coat, no tie, I’ll lose the sport coat when eating though, since it is Mongolian barbecue.
Weather forecast as of 10/26 is Friday 54/41, Mostly Sunny, 10% chance of precipitation. Saturday 53/47, Mostly Cloudy, 0% chance of precipitation. HOWEVER, Sunday is supposed to be 60/51, Showers/Wind, 60% chance of precipitation which means a storm is in the area and might go faster or slower. We’ll update as we get closer.
There is an optional brunch the next day. It is a come as you are, everyone pays for themselves affair, completely informal. I know many people who are going to visit friends and won’t make it.
I’ll be posting a list of contact numbers here soon.
A call for pictures
We are looking for scans or digital pictures of our us with our friends, pictures of us as children, or pictures before we started going out. While we are not doing a slideshow per se, we did want to have pictures in the reception. . Anything you have, please email to achen@abcte.org. If you don’t have a scanner or are very busy, don’t worry, we understand.
New Items
The wedding party will meet at the Harvard Memorial church for a walk-through at 3pm.
Please note that the rehearsal dinner is casual – its Mongolian BBQ!
