Pictures

He-who-does-not-nap. This is so very rare. Had to take a pic. He fell asleep on the living room floor.

We got to go to a Pump It Up Party a few weekends ago.  Jumpy houses, big slides, cake with ice cream?  He was in heaven.

Happy Chinese New Year!

Happy Chinese New Year! It is the year of the Ox! Our family happens to be full of dragons. My (maternal) grandmother, mom, nephew, and yours truly were all born in the year of the dragon. Chinese New Year is a celebration time for most Asian cultures (not just Chinese). [...]

Sigh

This evening I was slicing up some pears and baby Q was fussing. I asked her brother to go tell her that I would be right there. In my head I was thinking he would go entertain her somehow but my brain is not functioning well. He followed my instructions literally and [...]

Happy (belated) New Year!

Ours was completely uneventful.  Ken had a crazy week with the chickens and was too tired to do anything.  We stayed home and were in bed by 10 pm.  This may lead you to believe that if he was not tired from work that we would have done something more fun [...]
