Little Bo Peep

Little Bo Peep has lost her sheep

and doesn't know where to find them.

February

The upside to the perpetually hot weather here is that we can do THIS. . .

in February!

What we've been up to lately. . .

Finger Painting (or, in Annabelle's case, Body Painting)

and. . .

Pretending to be Elephants at the Zoo. . .

and. .

A little bit of "Crazy Time".

Merry Christmas!

Caption Contest

Well, actually this is more like a Captionfest than a Caption Contest since there isn't a prize (unless the glory of having the best caption is prize enough for you).

To play along, just leave a comment with a caption for this photo. I'll kick it off. . .

Mom's Group

One of the things I love most about the church we attend is the Mom's group I am part of. It is a great group of women and I look forward to the fellowship and encouragement every week. Recently, we had an outing at the Botanical Gardens and one of our church members offered to come and take some photos for us.

Chaos

Several of you have been wondering why all the pictures I post are either one cute kid or the other, but not both at the same time. Here is why: when I try to get shots of both of them together chaos ensues.

Just see for yourself. . .


P.S.- Thanks, Kirsten, for your tips about photo processing. I've been having fun over at Picnik. =)

Your daily dose of cuteness

I know my last post was a picture of Sweat Pea, but I just can't help myself. She so stinkin' cute!






And, just in case that wasn't a large enough dose of cuteness for the day:




Okay, I promise I'll stop. . . someday.

The Diva

4-Weeks Old

In honor of her 4-week birthday, Annabelle requested to snuggle with her big brother this morning.

Annabelle: Three Weeks Old

Here are a few pictures of Annabelle that I took with our current camera. With good lighting, even a sorry camera can get take decent pictures. In two weeks, Yvette will be arriving for a visit. Arriving with her will be my new camera!! (Thank you, thank you, Joshua. You spoil me beyond belief.) A DSLR was out of our price range, but I think the features on the G9 will keep me busy for a while.

I can't wait to see Yvette. . . and I can't wait to try out my new camera =)

Church

Annabelle's first trip to church was when she was 4-days old, but unfortunately, we forgot to take a family picture that day. These pictures were taken this Sunday. She is 11-days old here.

The church we attend was founded in the 1800's, thus the beautiful architecture.

One Week Old. . . already!

It's been (over) a week since we welcomed Annabelle into our family. Hard to believe. I hate that time flies.

At her one week check up, the pediatrician said she was "the picture of health." I think she is the picture of sweetness. She has certainly captured our hearts since she made her debut. I can't imagine life without her, now.

Goodbye, Summer Vacation

All good things must come to an end. . . and summer vacation is no exception. Caleb and I got up early this morning to see Josh off to his first day back at work. And, we've spent the last few hours wondering around the house aimlessly, trying to figure out what to do with ourselves. I'm sure it will take a few days to get back into a routine. . . just in time to welcome the new baby!

Here are some pictures from the last few days of vacation.

Little India: Mango Lassi. . . on the go.

Hanging out around the house.

Singapore Zoo: Lions and Tigers and Bears, oh my!

McDonalds: Who can resist a 60-cent ice-cream cone?

East Coast Park: The park is near the airport, which made our airplane-loving boy very happy.

East Coast Park Bike Trail: $6 for a two-hour bike rental and lots of fun.

Bowling: The other bowlers probably thought I was hiding one of the bowling balls in my shirt!

Cowboy Boots

If you check my other blog, you'll know that we have a houseful of guests. They came heavy laden with gifts from California. One of the things they brought was a pair of cowboy boots for Caleb from my mom. I literally had to peel them off of him. I think he might be the first cowboy in Singapore!
