What Do You Do Before Bed?

Well, Xia and Isa were looking a little board on Wednesday 2/24/10...

So we broke out the cool Rainbow light that Grammy bought Xia awhile back:

Xia's Talented Foot Trick

Yes, I am Xia, the amazing foot trick artist. It is Wednesday 2/17/10. Watch my nimble feet pick up the plastic chain...



Happy Mardi Gras 2010

On Tuesday 2/16/10, we were the lucky recipients of a traveling Mardi Gras party! In preparation for Lent, our good friends the Volpes brought their family tradition to our home. There were beads and dancing and making of masks, plus they made an authentic, home made King Cake!!

Here we are in our beads. First, Gianna:

then Isaac:

and Maryam:

lastly, Xia looking overwhelmed by all of the festivities...

The beautiful King Cake:

Masks (made with Maryam's guidance - trace hands on construction paper - tape and string) and costumes up next. First Maryam:

then Xia-one-eye:

and Isaac:

If you're still reading, enjoy the dancing videos... (the music is more of Daddy's unique finds):







The evening closed with some Isa bouncing on a balloon. Happy Mardi Gras everyone!!

Girls in the Morning

Every morning, Xia and now Isa, wave good-bye to Mommy as she drives away to work. They look out the bay window. Here they are on Tuesday 2/16/10:

Enjoying the Snow

On Monday 2/15/10, we enjoyed Mommy's Day off (for President's Day) in the snow!


Happy Valentine's Day 2010

From 3 sleeping girls to you - hope you had a lovely Valentine's Day (Sunday 2/14/10):

More Possessed Isa Eating

(Isa and Xia's Mommy here...Okay, okay, I know, I know - BIG hiatus on this blog. Very hard these days to keep up, so you better just get used to a monthly dump of information these days. Life is full and busy, but I want to keep up this blog so that those of you far away can watch Xia and Isa grow, and for our own families' memories - because mine is gone!!)

Here is a video taken on Saturday 2/13/10 of some more possessed Isa eating. Stuff she's eating (mixed veggies I think) even looks like what was spewed out in the Exorcist!
