Happy National Day!

August 9th is National Day in Singapore. The country makes a huge celebration of the day and Ainsley's school held a special program on Friday. All of the kids wore red & white and paraded around the schoolyard waving Singapore flags. Ainsley was supposed to march around the playground like the rest of the students but decided instead to run...since that is her preferred mode of travel these days. It is actually more like a trot that develops into a very unstable run. Her scraped knees and bruises are evidence that her trot is not perfected yet. After the parade each class put on a special performance for the parents. (see link on right side for pictures of the program at school)


Jack & Kara continue to put on weight. Kara is officially chunky (she is the one on the right below). Jack is trying to catch up but Kara eats like horse so he is going to have to get serious about things if he wants to pack on the pounds as fast as she is. We will visit the pediatrician this week and will get the official weights.



Kara (Matt now calls her fuego because of her red hair)...



Jack likes to make things interesting during diaper changes. This week he caught not only mom off guard, but also hit Ainsley who was "helping" with the diaper change. He drenched the front of her shirt and face and left her pacifier dripping. Of course we found it hysterical but Ainsley didn't find it as humorous as we did :-)



We had a special visitor this week! Uncle Rob was in town for work again and came by to see us. Ainsley wasn't sure at first that she wanted to hang with Rob, but after a while she decided he was cool and even shared her Humpty Dumpty book with him.
