Pool Day

April 25, 2014 No Comments

We rented a cabana by the pool for the day and Janie had so much fun. In the morning, we had almost the whole pool to ourselves. This is her in the toddler pool. It’s only 1 1/2 ft deep.

Here she is in the bigger pool with Daddy.

This kid is having such a fun time here in Hawaii.

Her favorite game is walking along the edge of the wading area and having a grown up follow her from the deeper side.

After lunch and a nap, Janie invited her friends over to the cabana for some fun by the pool. She played with Uncle Roy, Auntie Holly, and Andrew. She took turns with Andrew in going through the tunnel slide.

Then they chilled out on the pool chairs. Boy, these toddlers have it good.

It certainly was an epic pool day for Janie.

She fell on Daddy’s chest at sunset, slept through dinner again, and didn’t wake up until morning.

Andrew and Auntie Holly came over this afternoon to hang out for a bit.

Andrew was not in the mood for High-5s today.

Snacks for Two

December 26, 2013 No Comments

I love our play dates with Andrew and Auntie Holly.

Janie warmed up quickly and the two of them played and shared snacks together like long-time buddies.

First they had Os.

Then they had mandarin oranges. Janie was nice enough to feed Andrew the slices.

Then Andrew shared some of his quinoa lunch.

Here they are at the end of the evening as we were saying our goodbyes. They were so into giving each other hugs. SO CUTE!!! Sorry for all the squealing in the background.

Another Uncle!

This morning, Mommy’s cousin Andrew came to visit with Great Uncle Sak. He is visiting from North Carolina! She took him out for a walk along Embarcadero to see the sights. Too bad it was almost naptime while we were taking our photos.

Brunch

September 29, 2013 No Comments

We had brunch with Auntie Holly and Andrew today. Since we just had dinner with them a little over a week ago, they remembered each other and picked up right where they left off. They sat across from each other and had a good time. Here they are coloring together before the food arrived.

Janie also liked her piece turkey, avocado, and swiss panini.

Dinner Date

September 18, 2013 No Comments

Andrew and Auntie Holly were in town so they came over tonight to play and for dinner. Janie shared her toys with Andrew and watched his every move.

We went out for Japanese food and Andrew borrowed Janie’s tricycle.

For dinner, Janie LOVED the udon noodles. She also preferred to have them uncut. I guess it makes them more fun to slurp.

Janie also enjoyed watching Andrew. She would look at him and then look at me with a girly grin as if she was telling me, “Mommy, he’s funny.” Oh how we wish they lived closer.

Janie’s buddy Andrew gave her a smooch today. And then he offered her cereal. So cute.

Janie played with Andrew and Auntie Holly this afternoon.

It was 90 degrees outside so we only really got to play on the swings for a bit before heading inside. Thanks for the push, Auntie Holly!

Here she is playing in the children’s rec room that looks like a mini library.

They have toys, books, puppets, and computers in an air-conditioned room available to all Cerritos residents for free!

On our way back to the car, Janie loved the open space and couldn’t get enough of everything around her. Here she is on the tennis court. I think she was headed to the beach volleyball court where there was sand but luckily Mommy had a tennis net to help keep her close-by.

She also enjoys walking on the grass. This suburban grass is much easier to walk on than the grass near our house.

new friends

This morning, Janie met some new friends. When we arrived, she hung out with Kaitlyn and Lauryn, who came with Auntie Patti.

Later that morning, Andrew arrived with Auntie Holly. They’re seven months apart and will be in the same grade together. It was so cute to see them interacting together. Cheers to the Class of 2030!
