Cousin Tyler Visits

Cliff's sister, Caryn, stayed with us for two nights, while they visited with her husband's family. They did manage to squeeze in some playtime out in the patio. Here are the kids having fun.

Here's a video of Lacy being a nice sister

Holding Babies

A lazy Saturday morning watching cartoons, doing laundry, etc. Both of my babies crawled into my lap to watch some tv. We realized that they were both holding babies of their own--photo opp!

Rice---It's what's for dinner!

Fortunately, Anjali's still a really good eater. Here's the proof. And here's a really long video but had us cracking up forever. Look closely at Anjali's right nostril.

New Year's Celebration

We went to my Aunt and Uncle's house to celebrate New Year's Day. The Korean New Year is typically celebrated on the Lunar New Year (same as the Chinese New Year) but our family has adapted to the Calendar New Year because everyone is off school and in town to celebrate together. There was lots of good food and of course there was the bowing ceremony (which means cash gifts and is Cliff's favorite part ;)...fine, mine too... Here's my cutie pie girls participating.

We always close up the day with a game of Yut. It often gets a bit hostile, since we team up my family vs. my uncle's family. ANd it doesn't help that Cliff enjoys to harass and trash talk my family. But this year we won! YAY!

New York, New York

My parent's Christmas gift this year was a trip to New York. (We're so spoiled!) We left the morning after Christmas and came back New Year's Eve. New York is not exactly a kid-friendly vacation, but our kids were awesome! Cliff and I went to New York for our first anniversary. So its been four years since we were there last. This time around it was more crowded and we also had two little girls in tow. But we made sure to stop at all the fun places we did the last time we were there.

Clinton Castle in Battery Park


Ellis Island Ferry for a drive-by view of Lady Liberty


The Tree at Rockerfeller


Horse Drawn Carriage around Central Park


M&M Store at Times Square


Waiting for Subways (Anjali reminds me of Ralphie from Christmas story when he has his snowsuit on and can't move his arms, hehe)


Pretzels from the guy on the corner



Here's some pics from our trip 4 years ago to compare.

Baby Announcement

Baby #3 is coming! My worst symptom so far has been EXTREME fatigue. We are due mid June and will find out soon the sex of the baby! Here's the ultrasound picture from last week. Top picture is profile. Bottom is alien baby. We're super excited!

Christmas Day 2007

We had a fun morning opening presents with the girls. Lots of movies, books, and princess stuff.
You gotta love the Bed Head!

We spent the afternoon at my Granny's house. My mom, dad, sister and brother were there. As well as, Uncle Ernie, Veronika, and Grandpa. Then we came home and packed for our big trip!

Christmas Sing Along 2007

I don't know how we managed to not get any pictures of Lacy that night! But here's Anjali, showing us that she is also musically inclined like her sister. Lacy's the singer, Anjali's the dancer :)

Here's a picture of Cliff goofing off with his cousins...the real reason we go to any family function!

Christmas at Preschool

The last day of school before break Lacy's class had a pajama day and Christmas party.

That evening was the school Christmas program. Here's Lacy waiting for her big debut...(and of course the only girl in the whole school who has the same dress happens to be sitting right next to her...grrrrr!!)

Here's Lacy singing with her class. They were so quiet AND they were holding jingle bells, we could barely hear them... and the song was over in 5 seconds. At least she looked darn cute!

We are Complete Suckers!

Lacy has EVERY disney princess barbie doll and much much more disney paraphenelia. Those Disney marketing people are freaking geniuses!

My Pair of Trouble Makers

The one year mark has come and gone for Anjali and she still shows no interest in walking. But to make up for it, she is a complete fiend when it comes to climbing. I was upstairs when I heard water running...I peeked into the girls bathroom to find Anjali sitting in the sink and Lacy 'giving sister a bath' in the dark no less!

On the upside, at least they weren't fighting!

Lacy's 3rd Birthday!

Lacy loves birthdays, but especially when its her own! We started the celebrations out by bringing cupcakes to her class the Friday before her birthday. They gave her a cute little birthday crown and everyone sang.

The next day (Saturday) was Lacy's actual birthday and her birthday party! We made it an "Under the Sea" theme birthday party because she has too many little boys for friends to make it just an Ariel/Little Mermaid party ;) We reserved the park next door to our complex and rented a Little Mermaid bounce house. We bbq-ed up some burgers and dogs and had cake. All the kids left with goody bags and either a princess tiara or a pirates vest to wear home. It was a little chilly, but at least it wasn't raining!

After the party, Lacy opened all of her loot! Boy did that girl get spoiled! She had so many presents that she didn't even get upset when Anjali started touching and trying to open up some of the toys. After naps, we went to Red Robin for dinner.

On Sunday, we had a porch party birthday celebration with Cliff's aunts and grandparents in Norwalk. This is the cake I made for Lacy. Not bad huh, I had been watching a lot of "Ace of Cakes" for my inspiration.
