ohmygosh! That was AWESOME - it looks like they were having a blast, and doing GREAT! No way Liam would have been ready for that this year, but I'm really looking forward to next year now.
And, way to go on the slideshow - nice job, Mamapillar! ;)
That looks so fun! They are adorable. My fave pic of J was her standing on the base in a ponytail and hat. Sean is the man... he's look like a pro! I LOVE your sidebar with their comments. Hilarious!
Ni hao! Yep... I finally started a blog. As of Aug 1, 2009, our family will be living in Shanghai, China. Steve and I will both be teaching in the middle school at Shanghai American School (SAS)! Sean will be starting Kindergarten at SAS, and Jasmine will be attending an international bilingual (English-Chinese) school. We hope you enjoy keeping up with us through this blog!
Jasmine: Mommy, I want a baby mei mei (baby sister)? Mommy: We could adopt a little Chinese baby. Jasmine: NO! I want an English baby sister.
Mommy: What did you learn at school today? Sean: I learned that parents are still kids even though they are parents.
The Entire Month of August: Jasmine to Me regarding the Ayi: Mommy, do NOT leave me with her. She doesn't understand a word I say. AND I DON'T understand HERRRRRR!
Week of July 20, 2009 Jasmine: (after watching my mom's dog poop) Grandma, why doesn't Cindy wipe her bottom?
Sean: Because she doesn't have any hands, Jasmine.
Week of July 20, 2009 Jasmine: Mommy, I am going to take all my medicine so my kidneys get better. (She had been to CHKD for her ultrasound and VCUG test earlier in the day.) Sean: Mommy, after Jasmine grows up, will her kidneys be called parentneys?
Week of July 1, 2009 Jasmine: Lolo, don't drink any coffee before bedtime. Take your medicine.
Week of June 22, 2009 Sean: Why on our Earth did God create so many different languages?
Week of May 25, 2009 Sean: I'm praying for Jasmine's kidneys.
Jasmine: Mommy, I HAVE to brush my teeth again so I don't get any scavities!
Sean: (sitting at a table having snack with his friends) Whoever wants to come to my birthday party, raise your hand. (All the kids at the table raise their hands!) Sean: Well then, you better ask your mom, because it's gonna be in China!
Jasmine: Uggghhhhh! I have hair growing on my legs.
Grandma: That's okay. It's supposed to.
Jasmine: Nooooooo, (in a very whiney voice) I just want them to be pllllaaaaaiiiiiiin white.
Week of June 1, 2009 Sean: Mommy, if you died, I wouldn't get angry like Anakin Skywalker and turn to the dark side. I would just make you a robot inside your skin.
Week of June 14, 2009 Sean: (after a few Mandarin lessons) Mommy, when we are China, we have to speak Chinese, right? But when we come back here, can we just speak Virginia Beach?
Jasmine:(as Steve heads out the door) Daddy, don't forget your cell phone. Oh and Daddy, don't forget your keys or your sunglasses! (She knows her daddy oh so well!)
