The Two Littlest Ones

When Matthew and Nathan are gone in the mornings at Chinese class. I just have these two little loves with me.

This is the face Lily makes if she sees me with the camera. "Cheese."

Much better.

I don't know why, but I love these little jelly shoes. I remember how these were "in" when I was in sixth grade. This pair were hand me downs from another mama to girls.

Lately, though, Lily has had a bit of a love/hate relationship with shoes. My other kids went through this phase too. Anytime we go anywhere in the car, by the time we reach our destination - both shoes and socks have been taken off and strewn all around. But. . . she will still continually try on her different pairs of shoes when we are at home. She also still tries on everyone else's shoes, too, and tries to walk around with them on.


Airplane overhead! This wagon is one of Lily's favorite toys these days. She loves to sit in it, would prefer to have someone with her in there, and have me (or an obliging big brother) pull her around. Sometimes she asks me to sit in it and will try to pull me around :-).

Another favorite toy these days. Plasma car that was given to us by the Yee family when we got our travel approval to go to China. She has figured out how to drive it and likes to go all over the place with it.

And here's Aaron! Sweet little big brother. He is very protective of Lily, and jealous for her affections. He will get into a funk if it seems like she is paying more attention to someone else.

He is strong and agile enough now to dig with this big shovel in our backyard. And quite proud of himself, too. He asked me to snap this photo of him digging :-).

Aaron has been so patient. Many times, he is the only one unfortunate enough to have to accompany Lily to her medical appointments. He never complains. He always asks, "Is she going to have a shot? Is she going to have something that hurts?" He has had more doctor's visits with her than I think he has had in his entire life.

Hope you are having a great Sunday!
