Memorial Day and Playdate this week

今年のメモリアルデイは去年の離ればなれに過ごした日とは違って家族３人揃って過ごす事が出来ました...といっても別に特別に何かした訳じゃないけど最近の忙しい日々と反対でのんびり過ごし事が出来ました...マディソンと私が好きな公園に行って、デイブは初めていろんな事が出来る様になったマディソンを見る事が出来ました、そしてお昼はその近くにある大好きなタイ料理のレストランで：）
This Memorial Day we got to spend together as one happy family unlike last year's sad Memorial Day when we had the Pacific Ocean and most of North America between us... Well we took it easy and relaxed which was much needed from our normal busy schedules... I was able to take Dave to the playground I really like and he was able to see in person how much Madison can do all by herself! Then we went to one of our favorite Thai restaurants for lunch:-)

うれしそうなマディソン：）
Happy Madison:-)

レモンを食べてみる...
Decided to try a lemon wedge...

スッパ〜!!!
S.O.U.R!!!＞〜＜
そして、火曜日のお話の時間の後近くに住んでいるお友達、リアムの家に遊びに行ってきましたスッパ〜!!!建築家のボブって言うテレビ番組が大好きなリアム、早速安全の為にヘルメットを冠って建築開始です...：）
On Tuesday we went to Story time and afterwards visited our good friends who live right in Downtown Long Beach for a playtime and lunch... Liam is very much into Bob the Builder so right away they got busy playing construction...:-)

クシャクシャ顔.../Funny Scrunchy Face...

最近なんでか分からないけどクシャクシャの顔を作りながら変な音を出すようになったのでビデオに撮ってみました。
So lately Madison makes this weird scrunchy face and sound for no reason(I'm sure there is a reason? but we don't know yet...) so we filmed it to share with you.

先週末やっとマディソンの最後のクリスマスプレゼントを買ってあげる事が出来ました。時間はいっぱいあったのにママとパパからの大きなプレゼントが決まらないままクリスマスが来て、新年も来てしまったんだけど、最近何でも掴まって立ち上がりたい放題だからアクティビティセンターなら良いかもって事に...
We finally got her, her last Christmas present this past weekend. For some reason I could not decide on which BIG gift to give her so she actually got a few small gifts for her Christmas and we were going to use the day after Xmas sale to buy her the Activity Table but totally didn't get to the store... Well when we saw that all she wants to do is to pull up on anything and everything it was time to get her the table! So we did:-)



そして最後に、掃除をしている時にエリ−のネクタイを見つけたパパはマディソンに着せてみる事に...だから写真撮っちゃいました！
And Dave thought it would be funny to put Ellie's neck tie on Madison one afternoon and it actually looked really cute on her so we had to take a picture!
