Family Portrait

All five of us -- a rare moment!

Finn *loves* to go outside. His changing table is next to the window and the first thing he does every morning, when I change him, is point outside. Then he comes downstairs for breakfast and stands by the door, asking to go outside. Today, he even brought his sandals to Mariela.

Gavin, during his brief obsession with dandelions.

The Fair

Gavin has been eagerly anticipating the opening of the fair at our local elementary school. He had a blast driving a pink & purple car, flying a green airplane and riding a horse named Minnow. In fact he had so much fun he refused to leave.

Haircut!

YiGong and YiPoh gave the twins their first haircut (well actually, Mommy accidentally gave Finn a mullett last week, and had to fly in expert help from CA).

Teamwork

Finn is Walking!

Practice makes perfect...

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.
