Happy 5th Birthday, Amelia AiChun!

Since Amelia's birthday always falls on a holiday weekend, we always end up with a weekend full of activities. This year, she had a mermaid swimming party on a Saturday. Her cousins spent the night on Friday and Saturday. On Monday, we met our friend Cece for a special lunch and took cake to soccer practice. All in all, a LOT of festivities for a 5-yr-old birthday!

Random Fall Fun

Our fall has been overrun with activities! First, Papa and Grandmama have moved in with us! Yes, you heard it here first. Our household now consists of Papa, Grandmama, Mommy, Amelia, MaoMao (Grandmama's cat) and Isaac (a stray that showed up at our house, and Amelia promptly declared, "his name is Isaac and I'm his mom!"). Second, the Chunster has been playing Upward Soccer. Soccer does not really seem to be her gift, which makes for a long season. :) The Chunster has also been taking ballet, which she does seem to have some talent for. We have been going and coming and going and coming! Just think, 3 yrs ago, I lived alone - -no parents, no children, no pets. Now I have parents, children, and pets coming out of my ears! But it's SOOOO much fun. I am very blessed.
