Good Times

Ah yes, the day has come -- we can outsource pulling the wagon to big sister :-)


Jack got his first shiner (not related to sister pulling the wagon). While at the playground he was hard at play and knocked his eye on his toy push car. Matt would like to plead innocent for once as Jack was under Grandma D's watch when it happened :-)

Last week Ainsley was invited to a friends house for Navratri Doll Festival, a new experience for us! Her friend Riya let her borrow an outfit to wear for the special occasion.

Diamond Family is Well!

After two weeks of illnesses, five doctor visits, and four prescriptions for antibiotics, all five us are finally well. Phew!

This is a holiday weekend for us in Singapore for Hari Raya. This morning we went to a friends house to watch the UT/Texas Tech game on their sling box. It was an 8am (Sunday morning) kickoff, so we enjoyed breakfast while watching the game. The kids had fun dressing up in the matching colors. Between hand-me-downs and gifts we seem to have a house full of burnt orange!

Jack on the playground last week having a blast! (this is not our toy, but he loves to borrow it from our neighbor)

A few weeks ago we added a new toy to our playland. It was half price at Toys R Us and the kids LOVE it...

Grandma D is in town for a visit and we are excited to have her here. The kids are really enjoying her visit. Grandpa D will be joining us too in just a couple of weeks!!!

Piper Down!

The Diamond family is currently under construction, repairing stuffy noses, coughs, and upset tummies. Ainsley is the only well one in the house. Why isn't she making the rest of us chicken soup and nursing us back to health? She is apparently too busy taking care of her entourage...she has given them "medicine" and happy stickers to make them feel better. Her crew has grown to over 20 dolls and animals so she is clearly too busy for the rest of us.
