Can you believe it? I was actually COLD tonight...yes, cold. Here in Malaysia. Unheard of! But it is true...the weather has been cooler lately and the wet season is upon us. We headed out to one of our favorite restaurants "one last time" tonight (that would be Sizzling Chicken for those who know what I am talking about). The restaurant (I use that term loosely) is on the beach and the wind was blowing and it was raining and I was actually COLD. Crazy.
Okay...so, our internet has been down more than it has been up lately. With the weather and the school construction going on our internet connections keep getting cut! And since most everyone is away now for vacation, it takes a while to get it fixed. It's frustrating, but it shows how much I depend on internet...for keeping in touch, for employment stuff, for my scrapping, my banking, and to check the movie theater schedules! LOL! What did I do before internet??? It's been up for a few hours now so I am *hoping* it will stay around for a while. I am feeling almost caught up (minus a few emails I need to write). But since the internet has been down I am WAY behind on posting LO's to galleries. I hate to be a gallery hog but at this rate I will never get them posted if I limit myself the way I usually do. Anyway, moving on.
We took Levi swimming for the first time on Sunday! It was just the cutest. We have taken all of our kids really young (Alaina at 10 weeks, Caleb at 10 weeks, and Levi at 9). And they have all worn the same cute sun hat (sorry we never gave it back, Sally!) Isn't he the cutest??
And here are Alaina and Caleb their first time swimming:
We've been doing lots of other fun stuff too! Now that w are all packed, we have lots of time to do stuff as a family...making cookies, going out to eat, shopping, etc. Alaina wanted to paint yesterday and we have a bunch of left over rolled cardboard from packing so Jason was going to let the kids paint their feet. Well, it didn't quite work. It turned into body art instead. He's such a good Daddy!
HAVE YOU SEEN CALEB????
And my two cuties together...
Okay, I promised you some Levi photos. He is getting soooo big! We took him to the doctor yesterday and he weighed almost TWELVE pounds! And he was only 7lb4oz at birth! He are some of my favorite pictures from the last few days. The first one is when I FINALLY caught him smiling on camera. He smiles all the time but I never seem to have my camera when he does. See his dimple??? Love it!
And when I saw this picture my heart skipped a beat because my little Caleb looks SO BIG!
And this is one of the reasons I am going to miss Malaysia so much:
And one more for you. This one has a story. Jason took Alaina and Caleb to the pool last night and Alaina came back in screaming that her leg hurt (lots of growing pains lately.) Well, she kept crying and crying. Jason, in his typical manner, tried to lighter the mood. I was drying her off in a towel and he said, "Wow Alaina, you've got a mole on your bottom." *PAUSE CRYING* "But that's how God made me!" *RESUME CRYING*
Just one more picture for you...I now have competition. For my computer, that is. Alaina has finally figured out how to work a mouse so now she wants to play Clifford all day. And now three people have to fight for two computers.
And if all those pictures weren't enough to show you, I have LO's! With my internet being down and with Jason being gone every night to watch WORLD CUP Soccer, I've had lots of scrapping time!
This one is just about my collection of coffee cups! Paper is by Jen Wilson, stitching by Shabby Princess.
Caleb being silly...kit is HAPPY by Mindy Teresawa at Sweet Shoppe Designs.
Kit is SWEET SURRENDER by Mindy Teresawa.
Kit is SASSY PANTS by Dani Mogstad
Another SWEET SURRENDER kit page by Mindy. At first I had all of this one LO and then realized it was too much and I really had two different stories I wanted to tell. So I just made two LO's.
And this last one is a 2-pager about our trip to a Batik factory here in Penang. It was soooo cool! Kit is HOT CHILD by Meredith Fenwick.
Happy Wednesday!
All those pics are soooo cute--even the crying one:) And the LO's-well you KNOW I love those!!! Toooo funny--I did finger painting with my DS a few days ago and the pics I took look soooooo much like the ones you have here--paint everywhere, esp on him-LOL!!! SO fun though:) Oh yes, and when are you actually moving--I want to be praying for everything to go easy for you when it happens!!!!
