Man's Best Friend

Meet our dog Coconut,

he's a three year old Goldendoodle

(cross between a Golden Retriever and a Standard Poodle)

Jake is showing us Coco's moustache

Puppy Love

What's More Fun Than A Barrel Full Of Monkeys?

A big pile of cousins on Passover! 

Now the Aunties join in 

 Delicious home made 

chocolate covered matzah!

 And a Monkey's Uncle!

 Finding the Afikomen 

and also finding a Big Brother 

hiding under a blanket!

 Another pile up!

Dumplings And Matzah Balls

What's cooking good looking?

Aiyi Kui came over to teach Mama to cook Chinese food 

Yum

Ava Rose drew a picture of Kui cooking

If it's the middle of April...

...then what is this white stuff I see on the ground?

Tonight is the first night of Passover

The girls helped to make chicken soup 

Ready for Sasha Tian Tian's first seder,

can I sit next to her Mom?

Spring Has Sprung

Mama took me for a walk in my stroller 

I saw a Red Robin 

and flowers beginning to bloom

Just thinking...

the grass looks a little greener 

on the other side of our fence

Hello Funny Bunny

I'm way up high

  

Funny Faces 

Weeee!

So happy to be back on my 

favorite red swing again

    

Spring, spring is coming soon,

Grass is green and flowers bloom,

Birds returning from the south,

Bees are buzzing all about,

Leaves are buddign everywhere,

Spring, spring is finally here!

Spring Fever

As the colors of spring begin to awaken

after a long dreary winter

it's time for us to begin our...

...spring cleaning!

 The girls team up to clean the slide

 Everyone pitches in for a game of pick-up-sticks

  The play structure is revived

Cleaning just a little bit more...

...and now let's test it out!

March bustles in on windy feet
And sweeps my doorstep and my street.
She washes and cleans with pounding rains,
Scrubbing the earth of winter stains.
She shakes the grime from carpet green
Till naught but fresh new blades are seen.
Then, house in order, all neat as a pin,
She ushers gentle springtime in.
