Playing

Just a couple pictures of Amelia playing with the barn. She seems so involved in playing with it. Very focused. 

St Patricks day parade

We enjoyed the St Patricks day parade. We dressed in green except for Stanley hi pointed out a very small patch of green in his Lightening McQueen shirt. 

However, Stanley was thrilled to get sunglasses, beads and lots of candy at the parade. He wore those proudly. We sat right at the front where the parade started and had a great view and were thrown fun treats.  

Afterwords we had lunch looking out at the bay and the boats. We sure enjoy living in SF. 

Styling in shades

Here are two pictures the nanny took of Amelia as they were heading out for a walk today. The shades are courtesy of the St Patricks day parade on Saturday. She is getting pretty good at hamming it up for the camera. 

Christmas at Papa Tom and Lele's house

Just saw this was not published.  Oops!  Well, enjoy this blast from the past (a couple months ago)!

We had a very fun time at Lele and Papa Tom's house for Christmas. It was COLD!! One day it was even -9F. Yikes. It was fun to spend time with family.  Here are pictures and videos.

He's dancing to an electronic snowman toy.  Nice moves.

They make each other laugh constantly.  This is just a taste.

Just ask the 3 year old

We were getting ready to go to the Chinese New Year Parade downtown and Julia was trying to remember how to say Happy New Year in Chinese.  She was mostly there, but was not sure she was right.  We did the logic thing and asked Stanley.  He shouted out as loud as he could, "gong hey fat choy!"  I went and checked online and he was right.  

He got outside to take the train downtown and shouted "gong hey fat choy" at the top of his lungs all the way to the train.  Apparently you learn really useful stuff in preschool!

Videos this time

Here are some videos that have been sitting on my phone for a while now.  Enjoy!

Here the two of them are chatting together at the dinner table.  Apparently they both like to ham it up for the camera.

We were at the park the other weekend and Amelia got to get in the swing for the first time.  Stanley helped out with the pushing.  Fun times.

Here the two of them are having some fun times before bed.  Lots of giggles and laughs.  

This is from a birthday party.  He and David were zipping around in these toy cars.  They have a lot of work to do before getting the drivers licenses, though.

A few pictures

I just realized I hadn't uploaded any pictures from the phone in a while. Here are a couple recent ones for your enjoyment.
