David has been gone a few days, and is actually coming back a day early, Yeah! I finally managed to get some snapshots of what we have been up to while he has been gone. Let's take a look:
Obviously David was still here for this one since he took the pic, the girls were helping me make banana bread, my face looks crazed, but things were fine. The girls like to eat flour, plain. Weird.
David may have been home for this one too, the days are all running together for me. This snapshot is simply to show Sophia's home decor. She found some candles on my vanity and then went and got plastic saucers from her kitchen to put underneath. She was so proud at the beauty she had created, so we took a pic.
Dumpling night without daddy. Annabelle hugged and kissed on Tobin a bit, and I missed all the good shots. oops. super cute. I love to see Annabelle's huge smile and hear her contagious giggle when she sees Tobin, it is priceless.
Hey daddy, I am up to no good while you are away (at least that is what this look seems to say)
This has the appearance of walking, but he is not. Though today more than any other he stood by himself without holding onto anything. I think he is getting braver.
Any outside time we can muster up we do. It has basically rained non-stop since daddy left, but when the sun squeezes out, we go out too.
Sophia and I have adventures on the moto in the rain. The first day, with all our rain gear on, I forgot to put helmets on either one of us. That is a big OOPS. If ever a time we need those it is in the rain!
The below seen 'crawling critters' were a huge success and was taken straight from
THIS BLOG .
When Sophia talked to daddy on the phone she gave him an incredibly detailed description of every step we did to make these. Seriously.
Bella loved her crawling butterfly! Do you love their outfits? Sophia picked them out for them. The girls have worn these Gator and State outfits OUT, they have holes and all.
Embarrassing moment for Tobin. Hope daddy doesn't get mad that I snapped this. While he does look a little girly in his 'turban', our Ayi put this on him and then said that he looked like what a guy would wear from a minority group here. And she is right. They don't wear turbans but a headdress that looks a little like this.
Tobin is babble crazy, with just a few words. But today he started saying more, including 'haochi' which means 'it tastes good'. So this is about his 4th word and it is Chinese. Crazy how these brains work. He has also gotten very good at an angry scream.
Yes, this precious face can get very angry and compete with the girls on a high pitch. Piercing.
And then Sophia had to put the headdress on too...this girl.
We had made a fort in the background. It was still raining.
V is for victory. Always.
