Another Monday...

I thought these pictures of Mya were so sweet, I just had to put them on. She isn't pulling up yet, but stands up well if I give her something to hold on to. Nae and Gabe were outside on the porch and she was having the best time watching them through the window.



Here's Gabe hanging upside down "like a possum" it was the only picture I could get of him today.

Look who's crawling!

After several weeks of almost being there, Mya is finally on the move. She started crawling earlier this past week, but it wasn't until yesterday that she was really moving all over the house. You can see from the middle picture that her form is kinda funny - she tucks one leg under her, but it certainly works to get her where she wants to go. We are all adjusting to putting things up out of her reach. This has been especially hard on Gabriel who was very used to bringing his sister toys he wanted her to have, but not used to her getting into those toys he didn't want her to have. We're about to have a crash course on sharing! We can't believe our little Mya is to this point already.

Update...at last

I haven't been too good about keeping this thing updated lately. We have been pretty busy and Nae was out of town for all of the past week. He came back yesterday which also happened to be his birthday. Emma was so kind to come down and help me so the time went by quickly. Here's some pictures of what we've been up to.
Mya and Gabe were so happy to have Daddy home. Here they are all posing after helping Nae open up his birthday presents.
Gabe and Mya modeling their new t-shirts that daddy brought back from his trip.
This is sooo Gabe. He's going to be an entertainer or something. His hat is from the "balloon man" at Chic a fila and he loves the light sticks which he calls "rings" who knew they could be so fun.
Mya is so close to crawling and has been for about two weeks. She can get up, go backwards, and even flops forward but still hasn't figured out how to move forward very efficiently. She can sit herself back up now and I don't think it will be long and she'll be all over the house.
Mya eats like you would not believe. Here is that cute little face after an especially good meal.

We love our cousin and Duke fest

Here are Mya and Savannah, Nae's brother Nee's little girl. They are only two months apart.

Mya and Savannah again with their new bangles on that Mathu and Pathu got them. They can't hide now - we can hear them where ever they go; good thing since Savannah is already crawling and Mya is almost there :)


Here Gabe is joining in the mix. You can see the results of his first bike wreck - the fat lip.







Nothing is as fun as dancing in a summer rain fall - at least Gabe doesn't think so.









Okay, so we're not really Dukes of Hazards kind of fans but someone gave us tickets to Duke fest this past weekend. Even though we aren't big fans plenty of other people are and there were thousands of them there. Here Nae and Gabe are standing by one of the many "real" General Lees. They wore orange purely by accident. We didn't know everyone there would have it on.




We had to wait in line for over any hour just to get lunch, but at least the kids were in good spirits about it!
