Madeline and Ryan playing the violin together

Madeline loves watching Ryan practice the violin.  Actually, she doesn’t really just want to watch, she wants to join in and practice herself.  The sound of both of them playing together is truly magnificent and really catpures what life is like with two young musicians in the house!.

Our trip to Seattle (and to see Lilo)

We have been going down to take a quick vacation in Seattle or Washington for many years now.  We usually visit Mi Jung and Yong Chae and their kids.  Ryan really likes their dog Lilo.  Madeline is no longer terrified of Lilo so all is good.  On this particular trip we went to the Seattle Zoo and had a wonderful dinner later that night.  Here are some photos from that trip!

Ryan and Madeline fly a kite together

This is a pretty cute video of Ryan and Madeline playing together.  They both really wanted to go fly a kite together on a day with no wind.  I had to explain to them that in order to get wind they would need to run with the kite.  They didn’t seem to mind at all and actually loved it!

Happy #70 Baba!

We really wanted to be in Moncton to celebrate Baba’s 70th birthday but couldn’t make it.  It really is the busiest time of year for Grace and I and there is no chance we can get away.  We decided to sing her happy birthday on video and wanted to share it here on our blog.

What to get mommy for her birthday

It was an ordinary Saturday evening getting the kids ready for bed. As kids were playing in the bath, I asked both Madeline and Ryan what they would like to get me for my birthday.

 

Madeline said “Mommy, I have a lot of money, I have 86 dollars”

I said “What are you going to buy mommy with 86 dollars”

Madeline said “I’m going to buy you a beautiful dress!”

I said “Awww, Maddie, that’s so sweet!”

Then I asked Ryan.

Ryan said “Mommy, I’m going to get you a pretend penis”

I said “What????”

My jaw dropped…didn’t know what to think and started wondering if I even heard it right.  Jasper was downstairs and of course heard it and loved it.  Oh boy, only if he knew what he was saying…..
