My eldest monkey turned 9 this week ... already!! She's grown soooo much this past year, in every way. According to her, life only starts when you're 10, so she's almost there, heh. Enjoy your childhood Lili, it'll be over pretty soon and then you'll wish it'd been longer.
Her birthday party was going to be last week, but she got pretty sick, so we postponed it till next week. I had a test on her birthday so we couldn't do anything, but the next evening we took her and her best friend out for a pizza.
Opening her presents before going to school:
One of her bookshelves with the newest additions:
Alina and Aline:
We love you big girl and are so proud of you!!
My parents celebrated 24 years of marriage ... yay for them!
Laurie got ahold of the camera and took several pics of the little get-together:
Oooh, marbles!
The cat:
A silly goose:
This Children's Day was pretty significant for us because our recently-turned-4-year-old Laurie learned how to swim all by herself with water wings. We are ever so proud of her!
Enjoying a yummy breakfast with Grandma:
Learning a new skill:
