Make-up

Audrey decided that she wanted to put on some make-up today.  She told Mommy she put on some blue eye shadow and lip gloss.  Mommy thought she looked very pretty.  Daddy was not too pleased…he said it made her look like she was 16!  Audrey turned 7 back in March.  She is definitely growing up although she is a little young for make-up yet. 

Fun Scarf

Katelyn got a multi-colored scarf for Christmas that she just loves.  She was twirling and dancing around the living area with it.  Mommy asked to take some pictures of her.  She must have been in a good mood because she said it was okay.  It is really dark in our apartment so Mommy was glad these turned out as well as they did.  Katelyn is just the cutest little girl.  Mommy adores her!

Strings Bash

On Monday, the  school had a joint strings concert with all the elementary, middle school, and high school orchestra kids.  Joseph played the cello with 2 other boys from the other elementary school campus.  He only got to play in the finale so he wasn’t that happy with the concert overall.  He also didn’t really want to go since the kids all had off from school that day.  Joseph thought it was grossly unfair that he had to attend a rehearsal and play in the concert on his day off!  Mommy wanted him to participate since it was a good opportunity to hear what the more advanced strings students were playing. Plus, there just aren’t that many cultural events that take place in Jakarta.   He was in a better mood once we stopped for KFC on the way home. 

Two Front Teeth

Joseph lost one of his front teeth about a week ago.  Today at dinner he lost the other one.  He is losing his baby teeth later than most of the other kids his age, but that’s okay.  The permanent ones are already coming in. You can see them peeking out through the gums. He won’t be toothless for long.

Pool

Katelyn is starting to feel more comfortable in the pool.  She is willing to venture out into the deeper water without her floaties and she will actually swim around a little.  Audrey is like a fish and loves being in the water. Joseph only likes to get in the pool if there are other kids to play with.  He won’t swim just for the sake of swimming.  Funny how all the kids are so different.

On a different note, Mommy really likes taking picture of her kids. It’s nice when they are cooperative.  Most of the time they prefer not to have a camera in their faces.  Who can blame them?  Anyways, Daddy bought Mommy a new camera!

The kiddos better watch out!  Katelyn was in a good mood when we were at the pool the other day and let me snap a few pics.  Mommy is in love with her new camera!  The first picture is only slightly cropped to remove a swimmer that was to the right of Katelyn.  The second picture is cropped to show just her face and the amount of detail that is still there is amazing!   Mommy gave up on doing a Project 365 this year, but she is hoping to post lots of fun pictures of the kids this year.

Recent Photos

 

It has been awhile since I posted recent photos of the kids.  This last weekend we were able to go to Puncak for a few days.  We had a great time and I was able to take lots of pictures.  The kids were even semi-cooperative.  Usually they don’t like for me to take pictures of them.
