Ball Pit

We bought some plastic balls to put in the play pen (to entice the twins to stay in it!) and they LOVE it!! Even Gavin wanted in!

Lucia Speaks...

In addition to the standard "mama", "dada" and "teta" (which means nanny in spanish), here are a few of Lucia's first words:
- "book"
- "banana"
- "cheese": she made her first request today, for cheese!
- "niu nai":chinese for milk
- and of course, "shoes": she uses this frequently, to request that her shoes be put on

Finn is still a man of few words. Actually, to be more precise, a boy of no words.

Spring, At Last!

The kids all played outside for the first time. And yes, Poh-poh, they were wearing sunblock.

Look What Nonnie Sent!

Gavin loves his chef's aprons and insisted on putting it on right away...and making mommy wear one...and cooking some pudding *immediately*!!

Story Time

Today at pre-school, every child had to tell a story. Here's Gavin's tale:

"Once upon a time, there was a mommy, a daddy and a beautiful little boy who lived in a house with NO other babies. They lived happily ever after. The End."


As part of his bath/bed time routine, the Little Emperor also requires that we carry him upstairs on a pillow.

Poh-poh and Gung-gung

Happy Birthday, Lucia & Finn!

The whole family helped Lucia & Finn blow out the candle on their cakes.

Gavin and his mommy cut the cake
