Wii

It all started last Friday when I received a frantic call from my father informing me that he had made a purchase, or several purchases actually. He told me excitedly that he had bought a Wii gaming console, games, nun chucks and steering wheels. My only question was what did martial arts weapons and automobile parts have to do with a "nintendo".
He showed up that night at 8:30. We commenced in non-stop gaming, even though the console actually promotes you to take breaks every once in a while, for the next three and a half hours. We rounded out that night with a nice game of settlers and called it good.
<--Boxing
I think the best part was when Katie, who previously stated that she would have just as much fun watching the two "boys" play, was demanding equal time. She would even shoot me cute, little looks when I would jump up off the couch when it was actually her turn to bowl.

Catch Up!

Okay, we realize that we haven't posted anything for months and instead of trying to go back and do a post for each event we're gonna do a really quick catch up/ketchup/catchup.Adam came and spent a weekend with us in Feb. (or was it March...?) and all the local family came for an afternoon/supper thing. This is a really cute picture of Katie and Angela. For some reason Adam decided to jump in the background and do something...interesting.
Same with this one...
...we're seeing a theme...or a disorder...
...and it's contagious.
What can we say, we love him.

















































We also went to the DC zoo with Adam and
Angela (she's like our little side kick).















<--Adam telling Lily the hippo likes to play with his big red ball in warmer weather.
The tamarind (who speaks Mandarin) was one of Lily's favorite animals at the zoo.

















Amazingly, a few days before we went to the zoo and it snowed, it was actually warm and we had a family day at the park.


















This is Lily's playmate Hannah and her "Mimi" Melinda, who watches Hannah for her friend. Katie is best friends with Melinda's twin daughters. The funny thing about this picture is that Hannah doesn't use a binki and that's not Lily's cup...kids like to share. Yay germs!
