Weekly Recap

Another good week here at Casa Raisdana. Went out to dinner, and while daddy has gone vegan, we had some ice cream. As you can see Skyelar was loving it.

I had my first ever sleepover at school. We were all really good and loved it. We had dinner, ate ice cream and popcorn, watched a movie and all slept in our sleeping bags. This is my teacher, Ms. Kerry.

We spent Saturday lazing around the house. Here we are playing make a cake on the iPad. (Daddy and I made a real (well vegan) cake on Sunday, but alas no pics)

Finally, we went to the playgorund on Sunday and had a good time despite the rain.

Lazy Sunday

Had a very lazy Sunday today. Started with a Skype call with Grandma Mahin.

Then onto some face-painting...

I got into the game by painting Skye's face...

Then we both painted Daddy's face...

Computer Girl

Can you tell that my parents spend a lot of time on their computers? I am loving mine too.

I want to see grandma on my laptop!

First Week Home

It has been a good first week back home to Jakarta. Skyelar is still in her "by myself stage" where she wants to do everything. Here she is helping us make French Toast.

Here we are playing with all our new art supplies after school. Mommy and daddy were pretty impressed by how long we played quietly by ourselves.

Here are daddy and Skye being goofy with the phone before bedtime.

We had a big Chinese New Year Festival at school and I performed in a dance. I was a bit nervous, but it was great. See for yourself:

Afterwards, we painted masks and kites.

I was a bit antsy at home, so daddy took me to the park to stomp about in the huge puddles. It is the rainy season here, so it has been raining almost everyday. There was a break in the rain, so we went out to enjoy the fresh air. It was super fun.

Jet Lagged

We have been spending the weekend getting over jet lag. It has been tough Skyelar and I have been getting up at 2am and today at 4:30 am. It makes our whole family tired an cranky. The other night Skye almost fell asleep on the couch.

But we are playing with our new toys and getting sorted before school starts.

Skye up at 4:30am today...

Great To See Family

We had such a great time seeing family we don't usually see. We know that you all keep up with our lives,  and so it was great to see you in person. Thanks Aunt Kathy for spending time with us and the great gifts. Sorry we were a bit cranky at photo time. It has been a long three weeks for us.

And we can't be thankful enough for the hospitality at Uncle Liam and Aunt Pam's and Sam house. You guys were great. Thank you for putting up with our screaming and overall chaos. We loved seeing you all. Remember you are welcome to come to Asia and stay with us for as long as you want. We can show you the beach!

Skyelar demanded that Pam snuggle with her on the couch, so I joined in.

It was hard to get a shot, but we did out best.

 Till next time...thanks again everyone. Hope to see you soon.

Snow Day

We went out to Whitnall Park for our last day in Milwaukee. We were lucky cuz it snowed a bit last night!

 

 

We were all bundled up and ready to go. it was 18 degrees. The coldest we have ever felt for sure!

Skyelar loves her glasses. J-Lo watch out! There is a new diva in town.

We walked on a trail and enjoyed the fresh weather. Here is some video:

Climbed over fallen trees...

...and helped each other out.

All in all we had a great time!

Though it did all end in tears with freezing feet and hands. (Not pictured) Finally we were back home and warm and cozy.
