Happy Thanksgiving!

Yes, I know I said that I would post soon. This is as soon as it got! So first of all Happy Thanksgiving. It's over here, but I know you guys are still finishing up. I hope that everyone had a great Thanksgiving. I am thankful to know that my turkey will be a little easier to buy next year, ha ha! I am also thankful that I have less than a month before Elliana is due. I am thankful for the great kids that I have and that they have all been healthy. I am very, very thankful to have Tim as a husband! And I am thankful that I will be in Thailand in 3 days! Anyway...

This was taken the day after Thanksgiving.

Isabella has lost another tooth. We tease her about losing all of her teeth at once. She has really enjoyed having a couple of days off from school for Thanksgiving. And she is really excited about going to Thailand. She reads like crazy. But she most enjoys math and science, this she inherited from her Daddy!

Nice new gap in her mouth!

Isabella's favorite book this year is Little Pear.

Elijah is loving his preschool work. He follows me around the house in the mornings asking if we can do his school yet--even on the weekends. Sometimes he will cry on Saturday nights saying that I forgot to do his school. He is starting to grow up really fast. We realized recently that he was just a little older than Lydia is now when we moved over here. It is amazing! He is now learning his letters and sounds, and can spell his name and recognize numbers 1-19 (20 seems to be the problem number for him).

Elijah's favorite book is a fairy tale book.

The boy loves his "heroes!"

Lydia is talking more and more. About half Chinese, half English. We have found though that she is shy of strangers and won't talk in front of a bunch of people. She is probably NOT excited about going to Thailand as Ayi won't be going with us. I am concerned that the three months we are there she will forget her Chinese. She is also into EVERYTHING. She likes to climb up the cart we have our microwave on and hang from it (when the door opens, she has an abrupt landing). She likes to go in the bathroom and get her tooth brush (or anyone's actually!). And most of all, she loves the cell phones!

She's our brown-eyed girl!

She loves to pose for pictures...except she HATES to sit still!
