Lanterns and Construction

Started this week a dinner date, while mommy was at Zumba class. We had a good time and actually ate a lot.

Friday night was the Mid-Autumn Festival and Skye's school.

Woke up to watch the cranes at th construction site.

There is so much to see from our balcony.

Playing at the playground at school. Look at Skye climb high.

Skye reading about her ponies for her ponies.

Reading About

Doing some reading before school this morning.

Doing some reading after school this afternoon.

Wow, look at this cool dry ice we got with our ice cream!

Our Week in Pics

Daddy has promised to try and load all the pictures he takes of us, from his phone, at the end of the week, so our blog stays current.

I am becoming such a great reader. Every night I bring a new book from school, and I am able to read so many of my sights words and sound out the bigger ones.

We got our Christmas tree up this week. It's nice to have ornaments from the different countries in which we have lived. See from Doha and Jakarta!

Last weekend we headed out to brunch. We were all so excited when we started...

...but after two hours of sitting in traffic with no AC, things changed quickly.

Before and after...

Daddy trying to get Skye to sleep.

After school on Friday, Skye and I decided to play with some golden glitter.

Which brings us to Friday night. After dinner we all crawled into bed to watch Elf.

Summer Fun- Phuket Edition Part I

We have been busy doing a whole lot of nothing and it feels good. The pictures are piling up, so we will post a few here and there in the next few days. We also have a bunch of video footage, but will put all that into a final "film" at the end of the summer.

Here is my daddy and I on the scooter. It is so much fun to explore the island with our bike. 

 Playing with bubbles by the pool.

Skylelar loves just sitting at the edge of the pool and playing with her cups and buckets. Although, she is getting better and coming in the water.

I love having my grandparents around. We talk a lot and draw.

 and of course, we read and read and read!

Lately...

We have been having so much fun lately that Mommy and Daddy have had a hard time keeping up with posting pictures and video! However, Mommy finally got some time in her day to show you some of the great things we've been up to!

Here are some pictures of me and Daddy reading together at school. I am learning to read, and all I want to do is practice all of the time:

Here are some cute pictures of Skye and I during the weekend, cozying up in bed to watch a video after dinner:

Finally, here are a couple of shots of Daddy, Skye and I doing an art project. I am making a card for a friend in my class, and Skye is just practicing learning how to color:

Skye is learning to pose and say, "Cheese!"

There will be another post very soon that will have video, so be on the lookout for us!

Some Fun Lately...

My mom has been taking tons of pictures lately, but we've been so busy that she hasn't had time to post them. So, here they are! Be prepared to see LOTS of great new pictures of Skye and me...

One day, everyone was taking a nap except me. My mom woke up first and came to see what I was doing. She found me in the play room, making a card for one of my friends. She was very proud of me and thought that my card was great!

Doesn't my card look awesome? I made it ALL by myself!

My mom then got this great shot of Skyelar eating risotto. She was loving it, as you can see:

One of my after school activities is a Chinese culture class. Last week, we made these pictures. First, it is a caterpillar...

It has a tab on one end. You'll see why soon...

I also got to bring home the book mark that I'd made the week before!

So, when you pull the tab, the caterpillar...

...turns into a butterfly! Isn't that cool? I really like that class.

Speaking of bugs, Skye is turning into a real book worm! Most of the time, this is what you will find her doing:



She really loves books, just like me!

And finally, the piano pictures! Our school has a piano in the lobby, so during lunch and after school kids can play it. One day, no one was on it, so my dad and I decided to give it a go!

Neither of us actually knows HOW to play the piano, but it was fun! Mom and dad asked me to think about taking piano lessons, if I decide that I really want to learn how to play.

That was our week, hope you liked it!
