Our trip so far

We have had a wonderful time on our trip so far. Our 3 day trip to Ha Long Bay and its archipelago islands has been amazing and filled with swimming in warm waters, jumping off the back of the boat, kayaking, and great seafood. Margot especially loved floating in her PFD in the warm sea […]

Bee dance

We were in another part of the museum, and they announced that they were doing the bee talk and dance.I asked her if she wanted to go. Her response: (Serious face) "Welllllllll, I’ve been to the bee dance before, but it’s been awhile and I could use some practice…. "

Pony ride firsts

Margot’s first ride. Hazel’s first time on the trotting pony.

Note

Hazel wrote me a note…

Hazel and Margot hunting for dirt

Hazel was inspired by a Sid the Science kid cartoon and decided she wanted to “hunt for dirt and investigate what’s in dirt.” Hazel’s backpack contained a notebook, pen, and magnifying glass. Margot was the sidekick helper; Margot’s backpack was empty.

Mr. Rogers

I introduced Hazel to Mr. Rogers this morning for her 20 minutes of videos. She loves it. Makes me happy.

Seal

Telling hazel "he’s right behind you" and "smile" at the same time leads to a bit of an awkward face.

Berry eater

Not sure if Hazel has a career as a berry farmer in her future. Left was taken as I was picking the raspberries. Right was a few minutes later. I was picking some cucumbers and turned out to see my "helper" asking if there were any more berries.

Matching

Hazel was very proud that everything matched. The skirt even had little Minnie silhouettes…

Conversations with Hazel

Hazel: "Mommy, I’m going to sleep with Daddy every night." Kim: "Ok" Hazel: "But in the morning when Daddy goes to exercise, you can have a turn to sleep with me if you’re not nursing Margot, ok" Kim: "Ahh, Hazel, that’s so sweet. Thanks." (hug) Hazel: "Mommy, can we get ice cream cones for desert?" […]

Butterflies

Hazel was really into using the identification sheet, and would get very excited when she found a match. More Butterflies than I’ve ever seen before.

Texas

Hazel was playing with a Winnie the pooh look and find book, when she got to this page, she said "this looks like Texas". We’ve been following the news.

"Hazel, how many tomatoes have you eaten?!? " She eats them like apples…
