I've been bad about taking pictures lately, so I wanted to post a few just to show what we've been up to. Nothing special, but staying busy between playgrounds, birthday parties, tennis, and more. Last weekend was Veteran's Day, so we had a long weekend. We played outside at the park until the rain started and then headed inside for some water painting. This weekend we had a friend's birthday party where Bennett got his face painted as Spiderman which thrilled him and Beau got the balloon man to make him a Nemo which made for another happy boy. After the party, we went to the Tops in Blue performance where the Air Force musicians, vocalists, and dancers put on an almost 2 hour show and the boys actually sat through it all. The music was wonderful and Bennett was dancing in his seat. Truth be told, Beau slept through the last 45 minutes, but he was still, so I'm counting it. :) We treated ourselves to dinner at Chili's after the show, facepaint and all, to round out our fun Saturday. The boys are growing like weeds with two big birthdays quickly approaching. I have to say, conversation isn't lost on them either. These two little ones are pretty worldly with Beau pointing out in his deep little voice that "last time I was in Hong Kong, I was just a little guy"....true, but funny since the "last time" was the only time. And Bennett has decided that it's probably easier for our Japanese neighbor, Lucia, to just call him "Ben" instead of having to learn his whole name of "Bennett".....Interesting thought considering we've lived here about a year and a half and I have yet to hear Lucia utter one single word, but I'm willing to go with it. Maybe shortening Bennett's name will break ground in their ability to communicate with each other. I'll let you know.
