Rainy Day Guests

It was just a normal rainy Saturday afternoon. Cliff was yelling at the kids (and me) to get off our butts and do our chores. Lacy was sent downstairs to throw some trash out when we heard her yell, "There's ducks in the pool!" She was very excited. I was too! What a fun discovery!?

Lunar New Year

Happy Lunar New Year! We celebrated with family and did our traditional bowing.

The kids bowing to us:


Kids bowing to Halmony and Grandpa (with our assistance):


Hanging out:


Cousin Amy curled Lacy's hair. She loved it. And doesn't she look so cute?!

Well...

We found out today that we will have a baby girl joining us in July. I was hoping for a boy--it would have made sleeping arrangements easier. And well, I've enjoyed Wesley's lack of dramatics that seem to be innate in my girls.

But I'll count my blessings. Baby girl is healthy. Lacy is thrilled. And baby girl clothes are WAY cuter than baby boy clothes. ;)

Mr. Bear comes to visit

The coveted Mr. Bear...



for the last week, Lacy has been whining and crying that she hasn't had a turn to take home Mr. Bear. Well, she finally got her turn and she couldn't have been more thrilled! We made sure to do some of Lacy's favorite things while Mr. Bear was over. This included eating plain noodles for dinner and renting a DVD from Redbox.

Lacy, I LOVE YOU!

SD Zoo

I convinced Cliff to take us down to San Diego for a few days. I wanted to make sure we got our money's worth on our annual passes from last spring break. We got a good deal at the Paradise Resort--but I wouldn't stay there again. We got more bang for our buck at the Hyatt last year. I would love some recommendations on good eats for the next time we go down there. Anyone?...The concierge has been hit or miss both trips, but mostly miss :/

We went to the zoo two days in a row. Wesley was so cute at the zoo. He got so excited every time he spotted an animal. Anjali was more interested in snacks. Lacy was interested, but became more excited when our friends joined us on day two.

As always seems to be the case for us, we had some graphic demonstrations performed by a little monkey and a couple of hippos. It was fun trying to explain what was happening to the kids. The orangutans were a big hit--the kids got some good face time with one of them too.

Oh how I love San Diego. Such a fun quick easy vacation with the kiddos.
