Yes it does snow close to the Beach!!!!

Tessa loved the snow, but would not keep her gloves on to save her life...

Tatumn didn't even get dressed to go out.... Pajamas work well in the snow....

Our Snow Bunny.

Didn't know what to think when she threw the snow up and it smacked her in the face

This is right before the snow really let loose at our house.... The kids enjoyed this soooo much of course it was on a school day.

We celebrated Chinese New Year with a group of about 12 little girls and one boy from China.

It was low key at a Chinese buffett. Tessa enjoyed all the kids and activities that we did.

Chilling watching Barney before she heads to bed with a paint can lid.

Enjoying the new cabinets before they get doors.....

No the wiring in the backround is not hot.....

Tessa absolutely loves to play playdo. It is our after dinner ritual so we can clean up without her helping......... Ha Ha....

Happy 10th Birthday Tatumn!

The more the merrier.... to get them open. Poor Tatumn. She is always having to share her glory with her sister. The good thing is she doesn't mind....Happy 10th Birthday sweet girl.

We can't believe she is already 10. Seems just like yesterday she was born......Truly the baby of our 1st family... He He...

How sweet are they....

Finally a moment to add photos!

This is the pacifier that goes to her Chinese cabbage patch baby. She doesn't care....
My new bike.
This is our version of a Christmas with 4 kids....
As you can see our stocking were able to be hung minus the construction of our new built in bookshelves and fireplace. All in which why I haven't been keeping up.
The construction of our project has been going on since Dec. 1st and is not quite completed.
This was nothing but a huge wall of brick that we had destroyed to make room for a much needed set of bookshelves and cabinets to house all of our kiddos videos, toys, books and so on....
I will post new photos of that as soon as it is done. Either way all of the kids including Jing(Trey) now have the same stockings thanks to Aunt DeDe......

Happy Holidays!

Make a Smilebox scrapbook

Off and running towards the Holiday Spirit. Thought we might ought to get a jump on our photos on Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving was great but thought often about our little guy who will join us soon from Taiwan. We are still waiting to hear word about our court proceedings and hope to hear something soon....
Jumped right in to the craziness around 10 am this morning on Black Friday...
No big deal... We weren't out after the deals just trying to get into the spirit early.... We want to wish each and everyone of our family members and friends a very Merry Christmas and Holiday Season.

Breakfast time for Tessa!

Pretty much the only time you can get her in the high chair anymore... And very independent at doing it all by herself with just about everything. My do..... as she would say....

Happy Halloween!

Just a Day with Tatumn and Tessa!

These two have the best time together.
