Quotable Quotes

Over the past few months, Audrey and Lei have come off with some interesting comments and questions so I thought I'd post a couple of them. It goes without saying that neither of these comments were given further discussion. There are just some things kids say that you can't touch lol ;-)

1) Audrey at dinner table "Mom, you know you and dad don't have to go to China if you want another kid, you could just make one"

2) Lei speaking to Daddy while Mommy is in the bathroom overhearing conversation "Dad, where did you and mom fall in love, on the floor or in the bed?"

Temporary February warm days and park visit

After an unseasonably cold winter, we had a short warm spell and were spoiled briefly. We took advantage of it by visiting one of the local parks and the kids had a blast ! See a few pics

Crazy busy times, but very good times !

Sorry I haven't posted in what seems like eons, but having a 3, 5 and 6 yr old and homeschooling definitely keeps me hopping. I'm sure many think I'm insane for homeschooling and some days I wonder myself ;-), but honestly it has been a wonderful blessing and we are enjoying it more than I ever would have imagined. Friday we did school in our P.J.'s because I just was not feeling great and we accomplished everything I had planned and even more. Audrey and Lei are already reading easy readers to me. Ms. Rachel is able to write quite a few of her letters which I'm very impressed with since she isn't quite 3 and a half yet. I have no idea how long we will homeschool, but I'm definitely planning to next year. I also want to mention that the kids are attending a co-op once a week with other homeschoolers at our local YMCA which has been a Godsend. They take Spanish, Music, PE, and Karate for 4 hours every Tuesday and it gives us all a little break from each other too which is perfect.

Audrey, Lei and Rachel are all taking gymnastics and enjoying it all. Lei is a maniac when it comes to gymnastics or anything athletic and he's so fun to watch ! His English is progressing so quickly it is hard to believe. Other than his pronouns being off occassionally or just saying things a little akwardly, he can communicate anything he wants to anyone.

I am posting some pictures from December and Chinese New Year since I'm way behind on my posting, then I'll post a pic from February.

I tried embedding a video and slideshow here but the resolution was awful so I just decided to post the links. When you click on the link, make sure at the bottom of the video window to click on "higher quality image" so it is in the higher resolution.
