While driving in the car listening to music...
Katie: Daddy, I want to hear the song "It's time to Learn"
Aiki: It's time to learn? What song is that?
Katie: You know Daddy, "It's time to Learn"
Aiki, thinking real hard: Oh, you mean this song? starts singing "It's time we start to love.."
Katie: Yes! That song! It's time to learn!
Here are some photos from October of the kiddos. We've been doing good though we've had some sicknesses recently (pls continue to pray for Kimby's thrush and Kristy's canker sores to go away). Kristy is talking a whole lot more recently and Kate's been getting extra sneaky. Kimby's also growing up and gets bored often and needs lots of attention throughout the day. Christmas is coming up and Katie is looking forward to dancing with the older kids for the Christmas Performance this year (we'll see if she goes for it or not).
Kimby being a ballerina
CUTE!
Kristy doing 'nai nai, ba!'
Some face painting A.Jonah did.
And all 3 of them together...so sweet :)
I figured I should post this before it got too late and lost it's 'meaning'...
I just wanted to say a huge thank-you to Alyx, not only for coming the to the school and helping with the kids day and night for a real looong stretch of time, but mostly for helping me to keep my sanity during the craziness of FDTP. If you didn't come over to help, I think I would've 'lost it' and wouldn't have been able to make it through that time. I'm reeeally reeeally going to miss you and hope that we will be able to chat sometime when you get back and that we won't become strangers to each other...I LOVE YOU! And Aiki, Katie, Kristy, and Kimberly do too.
...I haven't posted anything on this blog for over a month! September was crazily hectic with FDTP going on; not much time to breathe much less blog. I so wanted to keep on top of the laundry during Sept, however I failed in doing so and had Aiki do 6 large loads of laundry at the end of FDTP (poor guy). This was due in part to the fact that Kimberly has decided to be an 'emo' baby (as Aiki affectionately calls her) who screams whenever she gets offended, and screams for no apparent reason as well (which attracts puzzled and quizzical looks from everyone as they ask me "why is your baby screaming?" to which I reply "I have absolutely NO idea"..). Oh well! We've been happily having vacation (vacation=deep cleaning and organizing of room/closets), while our kids spent quality time with Aiki's parents (Matt/Praise=the best). My sister Alyx has been visiting from India as well, helping me with the kids during FDTP and helping me keep my sanity as well (Alyx=Godsent), Thanks Alyx! So here are some assorted pics from September;
Some photos from the past month...
Kate is talking quite a bit now and gets into frequent discussions with Aiki and me, and is constantly correcting Kristy and Kimby (her favorites: "Kina, no eat with hand, eat with fork!" and "Kimby, no cry 'wolf wolf' okay?").
Kristy is getting to be quite a handful; she wakes up earlier than all of us and starts yelling "mama go! mama go!" while she frantically points at the door and then sounds out "bu!" while shoving her hands in her mouth, which is her way of saying 'breakfast'. She is quite loud and loves getting into trouble.
Kimby is getting older and coos and gurgles at you when you talk to her. She is quite the drooler, and is always shoving her hands in her mouth. Her hair was falling out quite a bit, so the other day I buzzed her head. Poor thing, she looks like a little sumo monk.
Anyways we had fun in August, it was a busy month (thus the lack of updates on this blog). Aiki's been totally engrossed in FDTP prep, and the 3 girls have been keeping me quite busy as well. Though, since we had friends over for vacation (theirs, not ours), we managed to squeeze in time for beach trips and late night hang-outs. Too bad we don't have any photos..dear sweet Jonah got into the habit of stealing our camera batteries (that, and the fact that our hands are pretty much always full with children, we never think to try and take a photo).
Oh well! Here are some photos from this month that we managed to take.
First off, here's some 'before and after' photos of Kimby. You can't really tell she has hair in the 'before' photos as the front part of her head is where her hair started falling off.
Before...
...and after
And for memories sake, I'm posting a photo of Katie when I buzzed her head..she was about 6 months old. See the resemblance?
Here's some photos of the festival. This is Kristy right before I'm about to feed her..
And this is how wide she opens her mouth for food..gosh I can almost see her tonsils.
The best family photo we were able to take. Kate was watching videos inside with Jerusha and her most favorite friends.
Here's Aiki..jumping in on someone else's photo, while holding our white bald baby
And guess who was the poor person who had to sweat it out in the monstrous bear costume? haha
On the way to the beach.. My sweet little girls..
Okayy so Kimby looks kind of funny. Its the only picture I have of all 3 of them.
And some random beach photos
