We love NY!!

Since we finally have a camera that can take pictures that we can actually view, I thought I should post pictures of Reina in her "I heart NY" onesie. She has worn it a couple of times but I guess we waited too long to actually take pictures in it as it appears a bit snug. I think Reina is a bit of a monster compared to Anya and David as their onesies from Jay and KJ fit a lot looser, although the picture of David was taken when he was 4 months not 5 like Anya and Reina. Anyway, thanks so much Jay and KJ it was really cute while it lasted.

Reina has abs of steel under all that chubbiness though. She is dying to learn how to sit up and when placed on her back she will constantly do curl ups as seen in this picture. She holds her head off the ground for as long as she can, even until her face turns red.

We're Blogging Again!!!

After fixing our van, buying a new table, waiting for new shipments and lots of research we have finally bought a new camera. So if anyone still checks our blog we are posting again.

We meant to buy a camera a long time ago but something always seemed to come up. First our car died in a rainstorm, twice. So we had to figure out why it didn't work when there was lots of rain and then get it fixed.

Then our kitchen table collapsed (it was already broken but the quick fix wasn't working anymore) so we had to go get a new one. It is hard to find a table big enough for our family that doesn't cost a fortune. Fortunately we found a good deal at Liquidation World.

So after a month we were finally ready to buy a camera. We had figured out the one we wanted and it had already been reduced in price since we had started looking. So we went to the store but they were sold out. This happened twice. So then we tried again and they finally had it at Walmart $10 cheaper than anywhere else. So we bought it. With all of the trouble we had, it actually ended up saving us over $60 on the camera so I guess the wait was worth it.

Anyway, we are still figuring out how to use it but here are some new pictures of the kids.

Eva has started Grade 2 and is enjoying herself immensely. (Almost too much since her teacher tells me she talks alot so we'are working on that). She is not wearing her glasses in this picture as she was just going to get them fixed. The lens fell out.
Lauryn has started preshool and went all on her own. This is a big deal as she is my most introverted child. She usually takes a long time to warm up to people so we are very happy with this progress.
Enoch still love his superheros and loves to play with Spiderman, Superman, Wolverine, etc. He likes wearing a cape (blanket) and running around saying "Superman, Superman", although I doubt anyone but us can tell that is what he is saying. We also have a repetoire of superhero sounds to help him to eat. Instead of train or airplane sounds, he likes swinging Spiderman, or flying Superman or Batman or pounding Hulk, each have their own sound. Those of you coming home for New Years may get to hear these if he hasn't grown out of it by then.
Reina is now almost five months old. She is growing fast and is no longer a skinny little thing. She is now quite chubby.
She smiles alot and has learnt to roll onto her back. She also squeels very loudly and high pitched (like Scott used to when he was little if you can remember).

We are so excited to see everyone at New Years. I'm so glad you are all coming. I finally will get to see my neice and nephew.
