Learning to Skate Outside!

Kid's Club

 Judah and I rarely attend Kid's Club because it is at his bedtime, but we did manage to go a couple times and tried to get a few pics!  Now, they have quite a few more attending...but i wanted to share these for our kids to have...they are faithful to go each week, learn their verses and songs in Chinese...DAddy is faithful to take them and help them understand the story

A quick Stat!

Weighed EJ and Jo at the clinic today
Jo 22 kg...roughly 48 pounds
EJ 17 kg...roughly 38 pounds

EJ has really sprouted up, she wears about the same size shoe as Jo these days, where his height and feet are about the same but he's chunky out on us :)

Measured at a friends house...Josiah is 105 cm and EJ 103!

Some EJ

 Just a little Evie Joy-ness for ya'll! 

 that girl loves some School! Working on her First Grade Workbooks already!

didn't feel good so we tucked her in, Brother kissing her, so sweet!

 She loves to play baseball with Daddy! 

Sometimes I forget to write...

Sometimes I forget to write little tidbits of our life on here for keepsake (I print out each kid a blog book in place of handmade baby book)

Last week Eric (Daddy) took Josiah to the big city to have a playdate with his pal there.
Eric tells me 1. Josiah is coughing on the bus, I tell him to put his toys away, get in his seat, get his inhaler, but then i wasn't paying attention, he didn't do what I told him and he threw up from coughing...2. Josiah asked at the bus stop if he could take his backpack off, I let him, I wasn't paying attention when we got on the bus, forgot the backpack, got off at next stop, had to walk back to last stop and get backpack...3. I wasn't paying attention and he ate the entire bag of hershey kisses

This story makes me laugh because it is perfect representation of Daddy watching the kids "not paying attention" but it all works out okay, it's different from the on top of, control obcessed Mommy style of watching but everything works itself out and is ok in the end...I love how God has created us man and woman, Daddy and Mommy, our personalities, our backgrounds, our giftings, preferences diverse!  He is a very creative God indeed!

Losing Tooth #2!

Judah 15 months!

 Let's talk about Judah this past month...
he has so many teeth...i lost count!  2 months ago he had 8 teeth, now he at least has 14, possibly more!
he had a mixture of 3 strange rashes, ugh, finally clearly up...
so, since we had to visit the doc, he weighed 10.5 kg, about 23 pounds!
Roaches- Judah is a friend of the roaches infesting our home, sadly, he provides them with plenty of snacks...
he loves to dance, he is a hand raiser ha!
nursing-Mommy went away for 2 nights, first time since he was born, he was down to only 2 bf a day at that time and this month since returning, he is now back to 5-7x a day, he is so hard to refuse and train in comparison to the other 2 at the same age with nursing...so Mommy just gives in
He is a man of few words, mostly grunts, noises, sounds
Sleep...most days he sleeps 8 pm-10 am, then naps from 2-4, this is a delightful change for us!

 He has finally started enjoying playing in the bath.  He use to just throw bottles around but now he will play with this Dora castle for a long time :)

 He absolutely loves to swing!

 lookin cute trying out a ride on Daddy's bike

 loves him the light saber

and dump truck 

 He loves to explore outside...above he was so sweet giving Daddy a hug

He is very affectionate, gives all of us hugs and wet sloppy kisses, ha

And he does absolutely love his Daddy

He knows Daddy = fun!

 I love his little curls and smile here

 He cracks me/us up with his growling noises he makes whether he is playing with animals or being the Hulk or has a sword...he is definitely one cute violent one year old!

 Growl in action!

Cuteness!

 Above, is his first little hair cut, just the front, it was getting too long, but for now, we kept his curls in the back!

Here I think he looks a lot like my Mom's family, my Uncle Kenny
