the paes have been negligent in updating this blog -- our sincerest apologies. technical difficulties, busy schedules, and #2 on its way (any day now) kept us from sharing our updates. So here goes a quick look at the last year (since June) and a promise to keep 2011 more up to date than 2010.
started the summer with a family trip to hawaii with mommy's side - i did awesome on the plane and had tons of fun in the sun. mommy and daddy felt relieved to finally be able to travel with their big girl without much drama.
this summer was also our first summer of gardening. daddy made us a planter box where we planted strawberries and peppers. we also had a bigger patch (the "pae patch") down the street where we learned that we planted too much lettuce and cucumbers, cauliflower and cabbage get really dirty, tomatoes are fragile, and we LOVE strawberries.
in the fall, we picked our fair share of blueberries. this has become an annual tradition. I ended up eating more than I picked, but we're still eating blueberries from this fun adventure.
the summer/ fall was full of friends and family visiting from all over.
the pae kids (we've actually added 2 more since this picture was taken). although they live in the seattle area, it's always a treat to hang out.
my friend M from boston came for a visit. although we never met each other, we became fast friends as our mommies are kindred spirits.
my cousins (actually daddy's cousin and aunt) dropped by on a road trip. they were driving from LA to Philly.
i love playing with my friends S&S. we're saying cheese with our baby dolls who we love. a few months after this pic was taken, we all have real baby brothers that joined our families.
i started ballet and tap class and LOVE wearing tutus and the shoes, but did not love listening to the teacher. so after 6 weeks of progressively worse listening, mommy and daddy decided to postpone the rest of my classes till i'm a little bit older. but i still wear my tutu whenever i can and when mommy asks me what i want to be when i grow up, i say "a ballerina and a froggy".
for halloween, mommy convinced me that i wanted to be dorothy from the wizard of oz since i already had the hair and the red shoes and target didn't have any cute "kitty cat" costumes (which is what i originally requested to be). daddy decided to join in on the fun and dressed up as an amazing tin man. i think mommy wants me to be dorothy every year from now on.
by thanksgiving, mommy was getting really big and i learned that baby brother would be joining our family soon. daddy wanted to capture the moment since we hardly have any pictures of my new baby brother growing in mommy's tummy.
thanksgiving was awesome. my eamo, grandma, grandpa and uncle miles came over and we had a blast!
a few weeks later, christmas came and 2010 came to an end.
