we are still here!

So, there is much to update...since our last post, Dan is finally done with his boards and now we can relax and have fun!...He was studying daily for a few weeks...we literally felt like he hasn't been home. Isaac would come in our room surprised and said "oh, Daddy, your home?" it was cute and sad at the same time...

Jed is now 7 months and ready to crawl...he would put up his little legs and trying to move..he is so sweet and honestly, an easy baby..he loves playing with his old brother..it would be Isaac trying to hop over him or at times pull on his hair..he is always giggling..he is even more intrigued with his dad. When Dan is home and dosen't say hi to him after he gets in the door..you can see his eyes following dan around and start to whine...He is now eating three meals of solids and waking up once a night around 4-5, which has been great for us. They both go to bed at the same time, so after 7pm party at our house...:)

Isaac is talking up a storm..thank GOd for kids, because they sure put you in your place. One morning, I had a really hard time with Isaac. He was probably in timeout 2 or 3 times already. We got into the car with me still upset and didn't really feel like talking. Once we got driving, Isaac goes..."mommy, lets pray" I was like "you want to pray" Isaac replied, "yeah, lets pray." here are a few fun thoughts from a toddler...

after having a little hard time with bowl movement--"Mommy, I have a rain-deer in my butt, its ou-ie"

"mommy, i have a good idea, lets go to church and then hana's house. I think that's a good idea"

"mommy, i have a fever in my toe"

"daddy, you have an ou-ie?"--pointing at the zits on dan's face

"I'm a king and grandpa is a fat kitty cat"

"I have a big penis too..and daddy and Jed-di-di"

"a worm bite me"

"leave me alone, i'm doing something"

"no, Jed, don't touch me" --as Jed sat helplessly in one spot

"oh, that's my church"--as we drive by

"mommy, i go to big boy class. I'm not a baby"

"I want a drive a little bit"

Embarrassing story

Gon-gon and Po-po recently visited Taiwan and sent us a whole box of gifts that they got from there for us. Isaac's favorite gift is this new shirt (shown front and back). He likes all the letters even though sometimes they don't make sense. Yesterday, he wore it proudly to church, and I'm sure as soon as it makes it through the laundry, it'll be on him again this week.

On another note, I might be losing my touch with the art of hosting guests at our house. Saturday we made a last-minute decision and invited Mimi and Rob over for dinner. Jo took Isaac and went grocery shopping for the ingredients, while I had the dirty job of cleaning up the house with Jed. (Jo makes fun of me, but I always clean the house in only my boxers.) In the midst of all the noise from the radio and the vacuum, I didn't really even hear our early-arriving guests open the door and walk in, witnessing me full-frontal in my favorite camouflage underwear. Although it set the mood for a much more casual evening, i think it's safe to say that they definitely lost most of their appetite. You could even say that we bonded.

Didn't you know that grandpa is actually two words?
