Our Cousins Visit!

Min Joo and Nu Ella, two of my cousins, flew in to visit for the week. We'll be keeping busy with all sorts of activities with them.

More Hugs

Happy Birthday Nana

Betty has been practicing saying "Happy," and often hops around the room repeating "Happy, Happy, Happy, Happy." Today though, everyone was able to use it to wish Nana a happy birthday. When we brought the kids over in the morning, Arthur ran into the house (opening the door himself), and started shouting, "HAPPY! HAPPY! Nana? HAPPY! Nana?" Eventually he found her, even though he had forgotten the 2nd half of the birthday greeting. Luckily Coraline quickly caught up to him, and in a shy voice told Nana, "Birthday." Betty was in the rear, and as the greeting had already been given, she decided get to the more important item on the day's schedule - "More...More...More...CAKE!"

Singing

With all the news surrounding Michael Jackson's death, there has been a lot of music segments on tv. The triplets often run and grab a "microphone" (cylinders from their foam block set), and jump around the room singing. Of course the retrospective segments are short, so the kids often end up begging for more of the music.
