Never Fear, Poppa's here!

Life is short, get out the house!

Rocket Time!

china may not be known for high-quality toys, but they did invent fireworks. for 12 bucks, it's rocket time!

Easter Part II

the girls dressed for Easter brunch at Sea Pearl restaurant (click on the mosiac for a bigger view). we missed morning church since eric caught what laurel got and was one sick puppy this morning (he's hacking up a lung as i type).

after a good nap (for all three), it was an early dinner at gramma D's house. the girls got more easter (non-candy) goodies! and got to play with another cousin, lotus (and grandpa, aunt georgette and uncle royce). another fun and blessed Easter day!

Easter Egg Hunt 2009

the weather was drizzy and laurel was under the weather, but easter wouldnt be easter without an egg hunt!

we had a busy wkend. satday was andrew's 3rd bday party at the little gym. it was right smack in the middle of the girls' nap time, so we had to improvise. we left the house early, taking some back roads for a slow and longer route. sure enough, the girls feel asleep in the car. i did have to wake them, and they were groggy for a good 1/2hr before fully warming up at the party. they got to bounce, stomp bubbles, sing, monkey around on gym equipment, cake, balloons & goody bags--- good times. they LOVE birthday parties. they proudly help wrap and decorate each bday present.

sunday, we cked out club run rec center. for a 1/4 off admission of a regular water park (with 5 yrs under free), it's a steal and a great find. fairfax county parks just get better and better.

no pics from this wkend. here's an older video, back in 9/2008 (it's amazing how much their vocabulary has increased---they speak in complete sentences now; and laurel's voice even sounds different). this is what happens when a toddler REFUSES to nap.
