The Kids

So I've gotten some requests for me to put up pictures of the kids.

Alyssa is my oldest, she's 4. You would think she is older because of her height, but don't let that fool you! She got 16 more inches until she catches up with me. (I'm 5 foot even.) Well, I can't believe how time has gone by so fast! She is just about to finish up her first year of preschool. She's got one more year and then it's off to kindergarten! I think I'll be a mess when that happens, but I've still got a little more time to prepare myself.
Now there's Van. He 19 months old and ALL boy! Totally opposite from Alyssa. He is such a climber! A couple of months ago, I caught him standing on the dining room table! He's also a quick one. (And smart too!) He pulled a chair up to the front window the other day, I thought it was to look out and see what's going on outside. Noooooo that wasn't the case! He wanted to stand on the window sill! I've got to keep my eye on that one!

My children are so beautiful! I could just be biased though! :)
Oh yeah! Another reason why there was such a large gap between the last post and the previous one was that Van got his first stitches on May 2nd. He fell off his trike outside and his 2 top front teeth cut his lip pretty bad. He received four stitches. You can't see them that well because they are yellow, to help blend in with his lip. I didn't know a mouth could bleed so much! Well here are some pictures. He wouldn't let me take them, so I had to do it when he was sleeping.

The countdown starts now!

7 days! My dad will be here in 7 days! I am sooo excited! I haven't seen him in awhile. I really hate that there is such a large distance between us! Him living in Texas and me here in California. I really wish that he could be closer so he can see his grand kids more often. But I think he is TOTALLY going to redeem himself this trip. He is bringing a surprise with him! (I know what it is!!! hehe) I can't tell you what it is yet, because my kids don't even know. So I think it should be a surprise with everyone!
If you knew me, I am having a really tough time keeping this a secret. I just get so excited that I can't keep it in any longer. My mom can vouch for that! Every time I would get her a birthday or Christmas gift, I would end up giving it to her early just because I can't keep secrets all that long.
Well all good things will be revealed in good time!
Anyways, I met a friend online today! It's so great to chat with another adult once in awhile! I feel like that I talk baby talk with my 19 month old all day. Even when I'm not talking to him!
Well she has a blog and she has inspired me to be more faithful to mine. I hope I can keep this up!
You'll have to check it out some time. Here it is if you would like to take a peek: http://www.mimigreen.typepad.com/.
