Ohmigosh - it's an update!

Hello there!  Remember us?  We used to blog every day...and then it was every other day, and then it was about twice a week, then about once a week, then about once a month....

And here we are, almost halfway through December, and November wasn't even touched.  Shame on us!  

We skipped on posting photos of Halloween, Mommy's birthday, Papa's birthday, Thanksgiving...which is a shame because they were all joyous events - good times that really should have been shared with you, our faithful three readers, but alas, life with jobs, two kids, and a house to take care of was really kicking our butts over here.  So you'll forgive us if we neglected you for a bit, because, you know, we had stuff to do.

So without further ado, here are some photos of the last few months that you should enjoy!

First, a couple of photos of Fox when he was just a newborn, taken by our lovely friend Karen:




Aren't those awesome?  And just to see how much he's grown, take a look at this:



That hair just keeps getting better and better!  And here's one I like to call "My Crazy Kids":



Speaking of crazy, here's a little girl who is just that, mostly in a good way:



Most of the time she's crazy, but sometimes she's pretty reserved, ESPECIALLY when she's dressed up like a princess on Halloween:



But then pump her up with sugar and she's back to being crazy!



That look on her face spells nothing but trouble!

On the other hand, she is allowed to go crazy once in a while, especially on the night of November 4th, when her Mommy, Daddy, and pretty much any sane person in the United States went crazy with glee:



Occasionally we take her to places where she can be her free, crazy self, like in Legoland (thanks, Sabrina & Larry & family!):



That's a butterfly painted on her face, by the way.  Totally intentional, although, yes - she does smear her face in paint for no reason occasionally.

All of this is to say, we're doing great, the kids are thriving...and Mommy and Daddy are doing pretty well too.  Lack of sleep not withstanding.  This has been a great year, and we're looking forward to the holidays when we can celebrate with family coming to San Diego.  And if I'm as busy as I have been the last few months, so much so that you become neglected once again:

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

I wasted no time from Facebook onto here. The kids look great! Fox totally looks like his big sister! I can't wait to see both of them for Christmas!

OK, you inspired me. I also updated my blog . . . but pretended that I always have . . . you'll see what I mean. By the way, great seeing you again, albeit breifly! Love to my pamangkins! (hm, that rhymes with "pumpkins")

FINALLY!!! I'm trying to stay away from that damn Facebook, but it seems to have usurped all my fellow bloggers... BLAST!

At any rate, I'm glad you at least updated. Sheez, I can't get over how much Boba and Fox look alike! So adorable!

Such a cute set of pictures!
Katrina's personality sparkles
through. I can hardly wait to
see Tristan in person along
with his big sister. I am
counting the days.
