The other day the girls and I were playing. Isabelle got a tiny boo boo and I was gushing over it and kissing it. Sophie decided to do the same thing and starting stroking Belle’s hair and talking sweetly to her. I asked her if she wanted Mei Mei to be the baby and she could be the mommy. She… Read More
Sophie being silly
The other night, after the girls had their baths, Sophie and I were snuggling on the couch and and being silly. When I pretended to be asleep, she started cracking up. How I love this silly girl of mine.
Halloween
Halloween was so much fun! To be honest, I love the preparations for Halloween, buying candy, deciding what the kids are going to wear, the fact that Halloween sort of heralds in the holiday season. But I am not crazy about Halloween itself. It hasn’t helped that the last 2 years Chris has been gone. And it has rained. And… Read More
Pumpkin Patch
Well, it wasn’t so much a Pumpkin Patch as it was a bunch of pumpkins on pallets. Literally. Quite a far cry from the beloved Eckert’s Farm we visited every fall during our time in Illinois. Thankfully, neither of the girls were disappointed, especially since I’d been talking up our visit to the pumpkin patch for days. Sophie has been… Read More
Living room campout
Zach is home sick. He has strep throat. Surprise, surprise. So he’s spent most of the week at home. The other day he had the great idea to bring out the boys’ pop up tent to play with. He set it up in the living room for the girls and filled it with couch cushions and pillows to add to… Read More
Big fun at the Georgia National Fair
We had the best time! My sister and her family came down to go with us yesterday. The weather was perfect and the kids had their fill of corn dogs, funnel cakes, cheesy midway toys and precariously-put-together carnival rides. The place was packed, but we were able to get in a full day of fun anyway. Isabelle was a bit… Read More
Mid Autumn Moon Festival
We got together with our local FCC to celebrate the Mid Autumn Moon Festival. We dressed the girls in some of the outfits I brought home from China and of course, that necessitated many pictures to be taken. Everyone brought a dish to share and for some reason, it didn’t even occur to me to make Chinese food! We were… Read More
Goodbye, old friend
We’ve had to bid a good and faithful friend adieu. He has served us well, but it’s just time to let him go. We’ve finally given up the bottle. I know, it’s hard to believe. It has always been a wonderful way for us to connect with Isabelle, especially in the beginning when she couldn’t tolerate a lot of close… Read More
Yea… Daddy’s home :)
Finally, Chris is home to stay. At least until he has to deploy for his new job. But that’s a worry for another day. Right now we are all celebrating his return. The kids are so excited to have 2 parents now, not to mention that having daddy home makes mommy a much better mom. We ate lunch at the… Read More
Perfection
Sophie LOVES to put things together. On one of her reports from the SWI, it said that when she gets bored with things, she likes to take them apart and see how they work. It is so true, she loves figuring things out. She often wakes up from her nap earlier than Isabelle and this gives us some time to… Read More
