Back from the Blogging Hiatus

The past month has been just as busy as any other, with some traveling and a visit from my sister's family. Rebecca, Adam, Kaiden, & Risa came up and we were able to go to an indoor waterpark, a science museum, and a very nice outdoor mall. We enjoyed having them here.




Kaiden has a way of declaring things, like "This yogurt tastes like curtains" or "Gabriella wants me to swallow her eyeballs so she can see my teeth." He had his first visit from the tooth fairy when he used a remote controlled car to yank out his tooth. Risa is a sweet little girly-girl who is still learning English phrases. For instance, she would yell, "You scared me out of the daylights!" After 2 weeks, she still couldn't get the names right for Graham and Baby C and would resort to calling them "the big guy" and "the little guy". Baby C was constantly pulling her hair, so one day she went upstairs. When Rebecca asked why she was up there, she said, "That little guy is every time bothering me."

Kaiden & Risa found an unexpected favorite toy: Gabriella. For the most part, she tolerated the attention well.



Graham loved Risa. When she was out of sight in the grocery store, he would yell, "I see Risa! I see Risa!" They've been gone for 2 days now and he is still talking about her. Here they are sitting on a huge mound of blankets. (Why is that fun?)



We'll miss them very much!
