Hayley's First Day at Daycare

Hayley started her first day at daycare today. She had a rough day, but did quite well according to the teachers. When I picked her up at the end of the day, she cried as soon as she saw me, probably thinking "how could you leave me?!" Ethan also started his summer at the same daycare, Kids Incorporated. He had a good day. Hopefully Hayley will have a better day tomorrow.

Weekend Fun

We enjoyed the Memorial weekend at the Chandler Fashion Mall and the McCormick-Stillman Railroad Park.The kids had fun indoors and outdoors.

Can we get on the train yet?


Aah, finally on the train and everyone is looking at the camera!


The fine details of a model garage...impressive

No Need for Paper?

Ethan and Hayley were quietly playing one day when I realized that something is up. Well, it turned out that Hayley has been drawn by Ethan.....

Cutest Shoes

Daddy bought these shoes for Hayley from Taiwan. Love them!

Happy Mother's Day!

Still NO PEANUTS!!

The results are in.....Ethan is still severely allergic to peanuts...his number is way out of range. He is mid-level allergic to hazelnut, walnut, cashew, almond, pecan and pistachio. But he is clear for pine nuts, macadamia and chestnuts. So, now I know that he can have pesto. Good thing Ethan doesn't like any sort of alternative butters (almond butter or soy butter), so I don't have to worry too much about him wanting to eat nut butter sandwiches.

Future Picasso?

At Ethan's Parent Teacher Conference this week, the children's art works were on display throughout the school. I thought Ethan's piece is quite impressive.
Great job Ethan! We may have a future artist.....

Bowling

We were invited to a bowling party recently and Ethan had his first experience in real bowling instead of the Wii Bowling. He did great and had a blast. But I think we need to work on the rolling part....he seems to be throwing the ball instead....
