Do not disturb

the 5 1/2 year old who wants to sleep in his unborn brother's pack 'n play. He slept crammed in there the entire night!

What a goof!

Lunch with Daddy

Tax season is always busy for Antonio, and he doesn't get to spend as much time with the boys as he would like. Gambit and I took advantage of some beautiful weather and went down to have lunch with Antonio at a park nearby his Vancouver office (his firm is actually in Portland).

Kung Fu Graduation

Ninja has been participating in Kung Fu since January and just graduated to his next belt (yellow). He's been doing such a great job and loves it so far.

Waiting for his turn to do his "form" (a series of moves they learned to earn their next belt).

Waiting to receive his new belt.

Sifu Paco, Ninja, and another child.

Mom (32 weeks pregnant), Dad, and the graduate.

Lesson Learned....again.

I have learned, once again, not to leave styrofoam blocks within reach of little hands unless I want to clean up tiny little bits of "snow". Which, by the way, are utterly frustrating to sweep up.

Rite of Passage

Cousin Snooks has officially entered childhood...yay! We celebrated with a party where he recieved his first hair cut. Everyone cut a piece and offered good wishes for his future. It was wonderful learning more about Mongolian culture and eating delicious food from Aunt Bee.

Yummy "cake". Per Mongolian custom, the bigger, the better!

Adventures with Daddy

Antonio took the boys on a walk when we had a beautiful, albeit cold, day recently. They found a lovely little trail and the boys enjoyed their time outdoors.

Shhh....

Too bad it didn't last for very long.
