Celebrating my grandma's 99th birthday

Martin Luther King Day

2011-01-17T12:36:00.001-05:00

According to a 6 year old. (I wrote the words just like she did.)

His birthday is January 15.

This is Martin Luther King. He wanted us to get along.

He got arested a few tims.

he was taking a spech. The poliec didn't want him to do that.

Some one didn't like him. He shote him.

This is the book she made for me. She wanted to show me what she learned at school today.

Sled Riding

2011-01-16T12:25:00.000-05:00

Sled riding in the sun. Perfect.

School's canceled!

2011-01-12T12:50:00.006-05:00

What do you do on a day when you don't have school? Play your Nintendo DS in front of the fire with Moo-Moo and the cat beside you. Heavenly.

Happy New Year!!!

2011-01-01T09:29:00.003-05:00

My New Year's Resolution--To update our blog a lot more often than I did in the last year.

To all of our friends and family near and far:

Happy New Year!!!

We celebrated the new year with amazing friends. The kids stayed up way too late, danced like crazy and pretended to shoot everyone with fake guns all night. What could be better for a 6 and 3 year old?

I can only hope that the rest of the year is as great as ringing it in!

The Girls

The JiangXi girls

Our travel group girls

Water Taxi to Chinatown

2010-07-10T16:00:00.000-04:00

On Saturday, we met everyone and took the Water Taxi to Chinatown. What was awesome was having our own personal tour guide with us. Chris knows so much history about the buildings of Chicago. I just love listening to him explain who designed a building. So interesting.

This is a picture of all the girls that were born in the year of the monkey.

American Girl--Chicago Style

2010-07-10T11:00:00.000-04:00

We are spending the weekend in Chicago celebrating Chinapalooza 2010. Brynn's birthday is in a couple of weeks, so we walked to the American Girl store and allowed her to pick out some birthday presents for her and Madie.

What an experience.

Sensory Overload.

Where to look first?

To say that it was fun is somewhat of an understatement.

It was a dream for an almost 6 year old girl and her baby doll.

Chinapalooza 2010

2010-07-09T23:09:00.000-04:00

Friday night started off with everyone meeting at Geno's--a great Chicago style pizza place. This is a picture of the wall courtesy of Brynn's photography skills. Yes, we wrote a couple of places too.

Flying Kites

2010-03-21T21:15:00.004-04:00

What a perfect day to fly kites...

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

2010-03-17T09:08:00.002-04:00

2010-02-20T20:55:00.003-05:00

We took the kids to see Storytime Live tonight in Pittsburgh. They loved it. Dora, Kai-Lan, The Wonder Pets and The Backyardigans all in one place! Amazing to them.

Waiting to go inside the theater

I love my spinny thing.

Mesmerized

Intermission

Happy Chinese New Year!

2010-02-14T21:34:00.003-05:00

Aaaaw. So sweet.

2010-02-14T08:41:00.001-05:00

Celebrating with friends

2010-02-13T21:28:00.000-05:00

We went out with Ilayna and her parents to celebrate Chinese New Year.

The problem with Chinese New Year being the same weekend as Valentine's Day---The lines at all the restaurants were crazy.

We ended up at Pizza Hut enjoying some really good pizza and some great friends.

Can you stand it? More snow fun!

2010-02-07T20:02:00.003-05:00

2010-02-06T15:00:00.000-05:00

"Snow" much fun

2010-02-06T12:30:00.000-05:00

Hope you like the color white...

2010-02-06T08:16:00.004-05:00

To his thighs

Wanna swing?

Our tree we affectionately call Mr. Ugly.

From inside our house to the outside

Do you see the drift behind the tape measure?

This is what we got when we opened our garage door

The snow begins...

2010-02-05T20:02:00.000-05:00

A rooster or a boy?

2010-02-04T08:58:00.000-05:00

Brynn thinks he looked like a unicorn.

I just think he looks like a boy who needs a haircut.

Finally, pictures of his smile.

2010-01-30T08:47:00.000-05:00

We were playing with pillows and I caught these pictures.

And then he whacked me with the pillow. Over and over again.

Maybe that's why he was smiling.

I know they aren't the best pictures, but I love the smile.

Catching some zzzs

2010-01-29T21:00:00.002-05:00

This is what I get

2010-01-29T21:00:00.001-05:00

This is what I get when I give Brynn a camera to play with:

Just trying to keep the peace

2010-01-24T08:37:00.003-05:00

Two kids equal two pillows.

And according to them:

They have to have their own.

They don't share pillows.

The other's head shall never touch the sibling's pillow.

Or there will be heck to pay.

Just ask them.

And now he is in a baby carrier...

2010-01-23T20:30:00.001-05:00

How embarrassing for the little duck.

Poor Quacky

2010-01-23T20:28:00.000-05:00

This is what happens to any stuffed animal in our house.

Doesn't matter if it is Brynn's or Nate's.

They all eventually must be completely humiliated.

He even had on a diaper.

Poor, poor Quacky.

The Graduate

2010-01-21T20:24:00.000-05:00

Congratulations Nikki.

We love you very much.

Celebrating

2010-01-18T19:55:00.002-05:00

Tonight, we went to my cousin's restaurant to celebrate my grandmother's 98th birthday.

She hasn't had an inside bathroom all her life, or a car, or electricity. No microwaves. No computers. No internet. No digital camers. No tv.

Her husband died very young. He was only 52. She never remarried. She has been single more years than she was married.

She lived on very little money, but somehow has traveled more than many people I know.

She went everywhere with us when I was growing up. If we were going to a party, she was going with us. She always says "Don't ask me if you don't want me to go."

She can be ready in 5 minutes.

She is frugal. Would rather wear a shoe with a hole in the toe than buy new ones. They were still good on the bottom so why get new?

She appreciates everything that is done for her. It can be a container of mints or a trip to the beach. She says thank you for it all.

I admire this woman more than I can say.

She has lost her husband, her sister who was her best friend, a daughter in law and a son. Yet, she still smiles all the time.

I am so blessed to have this woman in my life.

I cannot tell you how honored I am to call her Grandma.

Brownies for Mama

2010-01-18T17:00:00.000-05:00

Kevin got the day off, so he and Brynn decided to make brownies for me since I had to work.

Brynn decided to put a ton of sprinkles on them.

So many that I wasn't sure if the brownies were chocolate or sprinkle flavored.

I had to eat a lot before I was positive they were chocolate.

Yep, definitely chocolate.

Looking at the snow

2010-01-14T19:47:00.000-05:00

Nate loves this window in our kitchen. It is the perfect height for him to look out and see the snow or the birds that love the holly bush right outside the window.

Playing Dress Up

2010-01-03T14:25:00.003-05:00

Yah, yah, yah.

I know Nate will hate me when he grows up, but these are just too funny.

Poor kid. He just lets Brynn do whatever she wants to him. He doesn't have a clue that he is wearing a tutu and heels. And honestly, I think he is wearing the shoes only because they make noise when he walks on the kitchen floor.

The joys of having an older sister.

Happy New Year!!

2010-01-01T10:22:00.003-05:00

Ringing in the New Year with great friends.

There really is nothing better.

Happy 2010 to everyone.

Honestly can not wait to see what this year brings us.

A little bubbly anyone?

Sporting the Cookie Monster Slippers

2009-12-28T22:19:00.001-05:00

Kevin found these slippers in Nate's closet. He put them on and Nate would not take them off.

He wore them ALL DAY.

No matter what he was doing, they were on.

A Steelers Family

2009-12-28T08:00:00.001-05:00

Nate's First "Camp Out"

2009-12-27T19:47:00.003-05:00

Kevin started a tradition with Brynn that she loves. She couldn't wait to start it with Nate.

They camped out last night.

Just the 3 of them.

Ok. He was actually looking out the skylights at the stars while laying in front of the tv.

That's his definition of camping out.

Nate loved it. Stayed in his sleeping bag all night.

Brynn loved that Nate slept beside her the whole night.

Kevin woke up not being able to move.

I had a great night sleep in my bed. All alone.

Christmas at Grammy's

2009-12-26T09:24:00.002-05:00

After trying to get to Grammy's to open presents late Friday morning, we realized there was no way we could ask people to come to our house. Jean lives about 100 yards from us and we had to use the four wheel drive just to get out of our driveway.

Not a good sign when you are supposed to be having a Christmas party in just a couple of hours.

You see, she shovels her driveway when it snows.

Us, not so much.

This means, we have 5 inches of slush in our driveway.

And it is raining. Cold, cold rain.

So, it ended up being "Party at Jean's".

The kids with Grammy

This is my Grandma, the kid's Great Grandma. She is 97 years old and the most amazing woman I have every met.

Our Christmas Memories...

2009-12-25T20:48:00.000-05:00

Brynn waking us up at 7:50 asking if she could check on Santa's cookies to see if he had eaten them. She completely forgot about the presents.
Waking Nate up asking him is he wanted to see if Santa had been here. Him saying no and crying. Then he noticed the presents.
Nate opening a present and being fixated on that one, forgetting he had others waiting to be opened.
Brynn's guitar and her face when she opened it.
Nate's all-too-cute hairdo.
Brynn's excitement and amazing joy at every little present. She is such a grateful child.
The wrapping paper EveryWhere!!!
Brynn saying that she wanted everything she got, but didn't know she could ask for it all.
Being able to have Family Game Night every night for the rest of our lives because of all the games they got.
The slush, the slush, the slush. Cold, cold rain. Moving the party from our house to Jean's house at the last minute.
Having the most amazing extended family ever. We are so loved.
Having our 2 children home with us and being so blessed by them.

Sled Riding!!!

2009-12-19T12:32:00.001-05:00

We woke up to about 5 inches of snow this morning. It was so pretty.

And of course, as soon as the kids saw it, they wanted to be outside.

First of all, do you know how long it takes to dress 2 kids in snow gear?

Secondly, we figured out we hadn't bought Nate a coat to play in, so he is one of Brynn's old ones. Just a little bit of pink trim on it:)

And we realized early on that sled riding is so much more fun when you don't have to walk back up the hill.

First Presents of the season...

2009-12-18T21:40:00.001-05:00

We and Kevin's brother and sister-in-law decided 2 years ago to buy each kid new ornaments every year for their present. This is what they got this year.

Aren't they gorgeous?

A Christmas Party hosted by Ilayna

2009-12-13T21:34:00.001-05:00

Our friends hosted a great Christmas party complete with Santa. Their daughter is also from China and was quite the hostess.

The beautiful Ilayna

Quite a great family picture, if I may say so myself.

The Christmas Parade

2009-12-05T21:17:00.000-05:00

A small town near us hosted a great Christmas parade. The kids loved it. The best part, of course, was that most of the participants throw candy at the kids that are along the parade route.

Waiting for it to start

Oh my gosh, there is the big guy!

Look, both kids on Santa's lap.

My first Christmas

2009-11-28T21:15:00.000-05:00

You can't see me!

2009-11-28T21:13:00.000-05:00

A rock concert for 5 year olds!

2009-11-19T20:56:00.003-05:00

We are so lucky to live so close to a great city that has so many entertainmet venues. Tonight we went to see The Imagination Movers at the Byham Theater. This was Brynn's first experience at a "concert" and she had a ball.

It was a hour and half of rock music for 5 year olds. We jumped up, jumped down, turned around and sung at the tops of our lungs.

What? You don't tie bows with your toes?

2009-11-16T20:54:00.000-05:00

Happy 40th Sesame Street

2009-11-10T21:32:00.004-05:00

Happy Anniversary to the entire Sesame Street gang. Thank you for providing amazing television to my generation and my children's.

"F" is for foreign lands. Brynn still loves watching "Big Bird In China". And the little girl will always be called Shampoo in our house.

Why I love living in the country...

2009-11-06T08:29:00.000-05:00

This is the view we woke up to today.

We are so blessed.

Nate's Surgery

2009-11-01T08:28:00.000-05:00

Nate goes in tomorrow to correct what we affectionately call his crazy toes.

He isn't allow to walk on them for 2 weeks.

Should be a fun time.

Our Harvest

2009-10-04T20:26:00.001-04:00

This was our pumpkin harvest. We had over 50 plants, but some type of blight killed most of the pumpkins. These are the lone survivors.

I say next year we plant 75 plants. Just in case this happens again.

Moon Festival Fun

2009-10-03T22:00:00.004-04:00

Happy Moom Festival everyone.

To celebrate, we went to Oglebayfest with Amy, Jim and Ilayna. These kids enjoy each other so much.

Oglebay sets off great fireworks. Ilayna was so excited (and a little scared of them), but talked about them for days. Plus, she got to stay up a little later than normal. That is always exciting to kids.

Now, those are some pumpkins!!

2009-09-30T20:01:00.004-04:00

My cousins grow these amazing pumpkins.

Aren't they huge?

Here's your paper, mommy

2009-09-27T07:57:00.001-04:00

Nate "helped" me get the paper today. Thanks, Buddy.

Our Castle

2009-09-14T19:55:00.000-04:00

Brynn and Nate built this together. And with minimal fighting.

That alone makes it a pretty nice castle.

Way too much coloring...

2009-09-12T19:53:00.001-04:00

Happy Birthday Ian

2009-08-29T22:00:00.003-04:00

We love spending time with Kevin's cousins. The girls--Isabella, Sofia, and Brynn--get along so well. It really is amazing. And now, Nate and Ian will have someone to play with when we get together. Nice of the to have a son so Nate has a friend.

Yummy, Cake.

Birthday Boy. Isn't he a cutie?

Brynn and Sofia.

First Day of School!!

2009-08-27T19:17:00.003-04:00

Today, Brynn started Kindergarten. I can't believe she is old enough.

She was so excited. Her big worry--How would she ever remember all the kid's names?

I loved hearing her stories from her day.

Can you believe she, Dylin, and Alexis sat at the 1st grade table at lunch? Just shocking!

And she had gym

and snack

and rest time

and lunch

and and and.

I loved her excitement. I hope it continues!

Spending the evening at Oglebay

2009-08-22T08:05:00.003-04:00

On our way. Quacky and Corkscrew go with us everywhere.

Just "Exhausterated"

2009-08-21T08:00:00.002-04:00

Brynn's word when she is just too tired to continue.

Spotting for deer

2009-08-16T07:51:00.001-04:00

There are so many deer on the farm this year. We really don't need the binoculars to "spot" them, but Kevin is trying to teach Brynn to look for the antlers to spot a buck.

I love teaching the kids to respect nature and admire it without harming it (although I must admit that a few of the deer could go bye bye and I would be very happy--so would my hosta).

While Brynn and Kevin are spotting, this is what Nate is doing-running down the hill screaming. So hard to spot deer with a screaming brother beside you.

Taking a walk

2009-08-15T07:45:00.002-04:00

Kevin has been working late this week, so it has been a lot of me time with the kids. We have been taking a walk most nights, mainly just to get out of the house. We are so blessed to live on a farm that is on a dead end road. The kids can run and have some freedom and I don't need to worry constantly about traffic.

And yes, Jenny the Unicorn comes with us a lot.

Ymmm. Fresh from our garden corn

2009-08-11T07:40:00.000-04:00

Rockin' the Beer Gut?

2009-08-10T08:28:00.000-04:00

Their favorite thing in the world

2009-08-09T08:15:00.003-04:00

Brynn and Nate love to play in water. They would do it every day. Too bad the weather here has been really crappy. But today it is hot and perfect. They got on their old suits and shoes (Why shoes? I have no idea. They had to have shoes.) and played for a couple of hours. It's amazing how well they can get along when they are doing something they both love.

Just because...

2009-08-08T08:12:00.000-04:00

Don't you wonder what he is thinking?

Ready for Grammy's

2009-08-06T08:09:00.000-04:00

Did I forget something?

Ready to swim

2009-08-02T08:05:00.000-04:00

Brynn's swimming teacher recommended goggles for her lessons since she will be swimming so much more under the water. We had to try them out in the bathtub first just to make sure they worked.

It's Brynn Birthday!!

2009-08-01T07:29:00.003-04:00

Waiting for Brynn to wake up

Is it present time yet?

Ready to go to my swimming lesson
And, what fine restaurant do we eat lunch at? McDonald's
Then off to Build-A-Bear

Choosing Jenny's heart
Making a wish for Jeeny
Gotta give her a bath
Nate enjoying the action
Meet Jenny, my new bestest friend

Relaxing on the blanket

Early Birthday Celebration

2009-07-26T07:23:00.001-04:00

My mother-in-law is going to be in Florida on Brynn's birthday, so we celebrated a couple days early. Can't go wrong with a Dairy Queen ice cream cake.

Our Day

2009-07-18T22:02:00.004-04:00

The weather here is crappy. There is no nice way to put it. Brynn went to a birthday party for a friend that was a pool party. Needless to say, there was no swimming. It was only 66 degrees. We shouldn't be wearing long sleeves and jackets in the middle of July.

So we did the next best thing to swimming, we played in the rain.

And had a cookout over the fire. Hot dogs, fried zucchini from one we picked from the garden and marshmallows for dessert. The perfect ending to a really good day.

Our girl

2009-07-16T08:00:00.000-04:00

Smile

2009-07-15T08:00:00.000-04:00

We don't get many pictures of him smiling his big smile...

The kids

2009-07-11T19:37:00.003-04:00

Tattoos! Can't ever go wrong with Tattoos.

The 2 FengCheng girls

The girls and siblings

The Girls

Chinapalooza 2009 Day 2

2009-07-11T19:02:00.000-04:00

We spent the day in Oglebay on Saturday. It was great walking around with some of the other families and just talking, while the kids played.

Chinapalooza 2009

2009-07-10T18:45:00.000-04:00

We were so honored to host our travel group's reunion this year. Who knew this many families would be willing to travel to our neck of the woods!!

The reunion started with everyone meeting Friday night at our house. It was so wonderful to see everyone especially because some of us hadn't seen anyone since last year's reunion. It's cool to see the girls and what has changed about them.

Kai and the pinata

CANDY!!

Nate and his no-nos

Nathan's Post-Op

2009-07-09T18:41:00.002-04:00

Nathan had his first post-op appointment today. We are so happy with the information the doctor had to tell us. His is so happy with the results. The palate is healing so well. He can have his arm restraints (no-nos) off and can eat soft food. He doesn't need to go back for 3 months.

We can not believe how well he has healed. We are so lucky that it has been as easy as it has been.

Excitement on the 4th

2009-07-05T10:35:00.004-04:00

Now this is really not what you want to see in your yard.

As I am washing my garage windows, I hear my neighbor yell "Fire". To a person that has lived through a house fire, those words send chills up my spine.

I turn around and their playhouse is on fire. I run around the house and get Kevin. He and the neighbor's kids grab buckets to get water from their pool to the playhouse and also hoses.

The fire department comes pretty quick considering we live in the country. And we were surprised to see what fire department showed up. Thought it would be a different one. Who knew?

It turns out their son was playing with sparklers in the playhouse earlier in the morning. The playhouse still had some straw in it. The sparkler just smoldered until it burst into flames. The flames didn't show up until late afternoon. Literally, hours later.

The message--sparklers can cause fires. After you are done with them, put the in a metal container with water in it. Let them sit there for a while. It's worth the extra effort.

The result

Happy 4th!

2009-07-04T10:33:00.001-04:00

Home!

2009-07-02T10:29:00.000-04:00

Finally, home sweet home.

Napping with my no-nos and my ducky.

We think so too

2009-07-01T10:25:00.000-04:00

Parents at the hospital have to wear tags explaining who they are. This is a security item for the hospital. We also had swipe cards to get into the wing Nathan was in.

While Kevin was getting his new sticker for today, the wonderfully sweet woman gave Brynn one. Kevin had one that said Parent/Guardian. Brynn's said Princess.

Yeah, we thinks so too.

Waiting and Waiting...

2009-06-30T10:17:00.000-04:00

We had to be at the hospital at 12:15. Nate wasn't taken back for his surgery until 3:15. It was such a long afternoon. H obviously had no idea the peach robe and pants meant. This is one of the few pictures that he is actually smiling his smile and it happens in the pre-op room!

Nate had 3 surgeries. The ENT came out and said the surgery was smooth. The urologist was also happy with his part of the surgery. It took the cleft specialist about 2 more hours to come out. We were so happy when he said that Nate had just an average cleft. Everything worked the way it is supposed to. We were gald to be average.

Nate spent 2 nights and got to come home Thursday morning. Had he not had the fever, he may have been able to come home Wednesday night. The doctors finally released him and Kevin raced out of there just in case they changed their minds.

I was glad to have the entire family back under one roof.

Surgery Day Tomorrow

2009-06-29T21:43:00.002-04:00

Tomorrow is Nate's palate surgery. We have to be at the hospital at 12:15 and his surgery is scheduled for 1 PM. It is going to be at least 4 hours.

We appreciate every prayer that you can send his way. He is going to have a lot of pain and we are going to have to manage it.

My poor little man.

Puddle Jumpin'

2009-06-26T19:10:00.000-04:00

Is there anything more fun than jumping in puddles? They put on some old clothes and shoes (ok, Brynn's in an old bathing suit) and jumped away until the puddles were gone. So much fun.

The Wedding

2009-06-20T17:34:00.000-04:00

The day of the wedding began with a rain shower in the morning and beautiful skies every minute after that. It was a perfect day.

Brynn and my niece, Nikki

The bride, Sara, waiting for the ceremony to start.

Natey and Brynn at the reception. This is a perfect picture of Nate. His tongue sticks out a lot.

Grandma, Brynn and Nathan--the only picture of I have of the 3 of them.

The Wedding Rehearsal

2009-06-19T17:25:00.002-04:00

Brynn was asked to be a flower girl in my cousin's wedding. She has been so excited, asking daily how long it was going to be until the wedding. Finally, the weekend came.

Nate and Daddy. Look--Nate is actually smiling a real smile.

This is Brynn "practicing" to throw the petals. She couldn't just walk down the aisle. She had to practice tossing too. So cute.

My name is not Kate

Recently in a local grocery store...

Brynn, Nate and I were trying to pick out what flavor yogurt we wanted for the week. A gentleman approaches me and poses a question to me.

Gentleman: "You got 6 more of those at home?"

Oblivious, I thought he was talking about the yogurt and wondering why he wanted to know if I had more at home.

Me: "No. That's why I am buying more."

G: "I was talking about kids."

Me: "Nope. Just got the 2."

Just because I live in Pennsylvania, have shorter hair, and have Asian children does not mean that I am Kate Gosselin. I only have 2 kids. No More. No Twins. No Sextuplets. Just 2.

Oh, how I wish I had been able to come up with a snappy comeback. He deserved it.

Helping Daddy

Kevin built a swing set for Brynn a couple of years ago, but like most home improvement projects, it was never quite finished. Brynn and Nate decided that Daddy needed some help. Too bad it still isn't finished. Someday.

The Columbus Zoo

2009-05-24T12:28:00.001-04:00

We went to Columbus for the long weekend. It was such a great trip. The kids loved the zoo, but they loved staying in a hotel even better. What is it about hotel staying that kids get so excited about?

4 Years!

2009-05-23T12:25:00.000-04:00

I can't believe it has been four years since we first saw Brynn's referral pictures. The time has gone by so quickly.

I remember getting the phone call at work. I had told everyone earlier that day that if my agency called, do not hang up with them. Put them on hold until I could get to them. It was about 12:30 when I got the call.

The moment was magical.

We are so blessed to have this amazing girl in our lives. We are so grateful.

Look Who's 2!

Bye Bye Birdie

2009-05-11T20:34:00.003-04:00

Kevin found these when he was trimming the holly bushes in front of our house. One is from last year. The other had 3 eggs in it this year. The eggs were gone by the time he started trimming. Believe me, we would never have been allowed to disturb the nests if the eggs were still there.

We are so blessed to live in the country. We should be used to things like this, but it still amazes me every time we see nature this up close.

Saturday with good friends

The cutie Ilayna
The car got stuck. Oops.
Gotta fix it.
Mommy and Brynn holding hands...in chalk.
Nathan and his tongue.
"Get outta my face."

We always have such a great time when we get together with Jim, Amy and Ilayna. The kids absolutely love each other. Too bad I didn't get any pictures of all three of them together. Next time.

Yummy yummy in my tummy

Have ya tried these?

Kevin loves all things Oreos. When I saw these in the store, I knew I had to get them for him even though they were priced about the same as Girl Scout cookies--you know, you pay big bucks for 15 cookies.

Well, Kevin got a couple, but as you can see, Brynn likes them too.

Peek!!

Gotta love my heels.

This is what happens...

2009-05-02T07:37:00.002-04:00

...when you have an older sister to play with.

We know one of his future chores.

Should we tell him we don't mow the driveway?
