Saturday in the garden

Expanding Vocabularies

Mary tried to use the words valiant and astonished today.


And Abe has a new response to everything:
Want to play outside?
Let's share.
Can I have some?

Abe: Doe-kie, doe-kie. (okie dokie.)

Books

Hong Kong in 18 hours

Didn't do much more than sleep, eat and go to the temple; but it was a great vacation.
Thanks for babysitting Han!

On a boat.

Thank you!

I loved all the phone calls and birthday wishes, thanks everybody!

My cake and help.

It is so satisfying to spoil your children.

I saw this cute tent in a blog last week.
Best project we've done in a long time.

Hannah looks great

even when she wakes up at 5 to study and take a final.

Good luck Hannah!

Maybe like a dress?

I'm cooking for you.

I'm cooking some pie. Maybe like some pie?
No, it's soup.
Oh, I'm cooking some soup.

Motorcycle Trip

He's Everybody's Favorite

I'm two.

Abe is nothing like my first child. Or maybe I just forgot what a two-year-old was like. But either way, I'm struggling to keep his short temper and short attention span in check. Sometimes I think he knows exactly what he's doing. He totally loves his dad more than me and sometimes I can't do anything but wait til Dan walks in the door.

Easter

We have few traditions, but Easter has several. Hannah enjoyed Easter dinner.

The children had an egg hunt at our friends.

And Mary got a dress, I think this girl is beautiful.

Tookie and Cheese?

Mary

Roti

Hannah would like to trade in her birthday cake for a stack of these. I'm not surprised. This was probably one of the best meals we've had in BKK.

Mary slept through lunch.

Hannah did not.

Beach!

Fwd: I just asked Abe to put the veg dip on the table,

while I made sandwiches. I turned around and he was doing this.

"It's dog food, I a dog."

Mary: Mom, do you think I'm beautiful?
Amy: Yes Mary, you are beautiful.

Mary: Thank you mom.

Bedtime Ploys

Mary is yelling from her room: "Mom, I fell out of bed."
A little louder- "Mooom, I fell out of BED."



Her mattress rests on the floor.

Lazy Posts

Our daily life is busy, crazy and exciting sans posts to our blog.

Abe- "I go school. I go running."

habitual evening tour ... this is for the grandparents who I know wish they could do this every night.
