January 23, 2011 - LA Arboretum

The weather has been unusually warm for this time of year.  Leah and I decided to take our kids to the LA Arboretum and enjoy some fun in the sun.  Our day started out with a stop at  Starbucks, some discovery,  some geese watching, some tree climbing and ended at McDonalds.  The result of such a day you might ask?   Answer: Our twins asleep by 7:30 p.m.

Running errands goes by much more smoothly when Starbucks is involved.

  If only all weekends were three-day weekends.

January 16, 2011 - Love is in the Air

 The house seemed so drab after taking all the Christmas decorations down.  I decided that it wasn't too early to start decorating for Valentine's Day.  Why not?  All the stores already had decorations out.   My red tablecloth made her way out of the linen closet as did the Valentine's wash cloths.  From the garage emerged candles and other decorations. Red garland is now happily keeping the Valentine's Day banner company.  The red glasses and love-ly cupcakes will soon be making their appearance.

As I was making my way to the car this morning, I looked up to see the most beautiful sky.  The view was so breathtaking that I went back into the house to get my camera to capture God saying goodmorning.

January 8, 2010 - A 1st Birthday in the First Week of 2011!

These guys have more of a social life than we do!  If it wasn't for their invites, we wouldn't go anywhere!  Happy birthday, Cora!!!!

 

January 8, 2010 - Toy Story Fun

 On Saturday morning, I asked the boys to bring over books for us to read together.  They brought over Toy Story books.   Anthony went to our room to get the Toy Story blanket.  My cuties sat down,  admired the pages, and pointed out their favorite character, Buzz.  Anthony  suddenly got the idea to "hide."
Me:  "Where's Anthony?"
Anthony: "Nene hiding!"
Daniel lifted up the cover and found his brother. He now decided to hide. Gee, it was so hard not to see the two lumps under the blue blanket. They happily giggled as I asked, "Oh, my goodness! Where are my boys?"  I lifted up the blanket and got huge smiles and squeals that could break glass:)

 

January 3, 2011 - The First Bike Ride

 

The rains decided to give us break, so we took the boys out for their first ride on the bikes.  The ride was more of a pull because they have not yet figured out how to pedal.  They had a good time, though!

Happy 2011!

Happy new year!  Our new year prayer is this: "Lord, please continue to bless this family and all those we love!"
