Visitors and More...

This past weekend we had some of our very best friends come visit us in Chengdu. We had a great time and enjoyed showing them around some "real" parts of China (those places that a normal visitors would not go to).  Matt took off of school Monday to have an extra day with them and took them to the Panda Research Center. Brynn has thrilled that she got to go along too. She had the best time showing them the pandas. I asked her what she wanted for dinner that night and she said bamboo!

Brynn made some cupcakes the other day and this picture made me laugh. I had forgotten she licked a cupcake. Oops, I wonder who ate that one????

 Aubrey loves to sit up and watch what is going on around her. Her silly big sister usually keeps her 

entertained. We don't have bumbo seats over here, so I tried propping her up in a high chair. She enjoyed it for a few minutes and even read a book.

 

Brynn is going through a phase when it is almost impossible to get her to look at a camera and smile. She usually runs when I get it out. I am almost always the one taking the picture, so this one is a rarity. Me in a picture and B smiling.

Today was book character day at Matt's school. Can you figure out who he was dressed like?

If I wasn't the one cutting up a pillow case and making ears at 9:00 the night before I wouldn't know either. He is Dobby the House Elf from Harry Potter. His 12th grade homeroom dressed as characters from Harry Potter. Brynn decided to be Tinkerbell. I was holding Aubrey and sitting by Brynn near the side of the stage. Before I knew it Brynn decided to join her daddy on the stage with his students. She announced on the microphone in front of the whole school her name was Brynn.

Aubrey decided she was cute enough without a costume, so she went as herself. I  can't believe she will be four months old tomorrow. She is just about to roll over from back to stomach. Matt and I found ourselves cheering like crazy when she was about to roll over the other night. She just looked at us like we were nuts and rolled back to her back.
