Weekend mornings

On weekend mornings, the kids never sleep in as we would want them to. Tyler is especially notorious for getting up early on weekends and then wanting to eat cereal and watch TV, yet on weekdays its always a struggle to get them awake!

A visit with Dr. Yen

Today, Tyler had his annual check up and Natalie had her pre-kindergarten check up. Both kids are healthy and growing great! Natalie is almost 70% in height, but under 50% in weight. Tyler is fairly average all around. After Natalie’s exam, she had to get a TB test. She cried of course, but it ended quickly and she got 2 stickers from the nurse.

We said our goodbyes to Dr. Yen today as we’ll likely be switching to a closer Kaiser after we move. Dr. Yen has been our pediatrician since both kids were born. She’s awesome and we will miss her!

Wileen’s birthday

Yesterday was Willy’s birthday. They decided since they were going to have dinner near our house, they would stop by with the birthday cake to celebrate with us. They didn’t show up until 9pm, they were waiting for Willy to come home from whereever she was and then the hot pot restuarant they were planning to go to was closed for the night! So they came over first and we had some delicious Tiramisu cake and in a rush left to go to another restuarant and finally have dinner.

Griffith Park

While in LA, we also went with Kaiya to Griffith Park to ride the train. Tyler loves trains! He was so excited to watch all the activity at the train station. Afterwards, the kids shared some cotton candy.

Kaiya!

I made an attempt to kidnap Kaiya over the weekend, but was unsuccessful. She thought it was funny though when I carried her out of the room with her in my bag.

Dim Sum in LA

On Friday, Po Po took the day off since we were visiting and we decided to have dim sum in Chinatown. We got lots of good food and Jenna came along too since she’s a victim of the recession.
