not much going on

We are still doing great here in Saudi, nothing ever really changes. We are loving having our maid, Chari, who is very helpful in all aspects of our household lives. She takes a lot of stress off of me, and Lily and Oliver seem to adore her, as do I! We all have little colds right now, they will be gone soon though with luck. We are ready for some warmer weather here, and I have a feeling it will arrive soon. I just don't want it to get too hot too soon. Oliver is growing up so fast, Lily too. She tries to put her croks on, but can't quite get them on yet, so she moves on to my shoes and walks around the house in them. She found bath crayons the other day, and had a blast in the bath with them, the water went cold before I got her out. She adores Oliver too, trying to climb on him and give him kisses all the time. She wants to include him in her meal time, tries to feed him cheerios and popcorn. Such a good big sister. Oliver loves to watch her. They are going to be great friends.

Lily found her bath crayons!

Beautiful art isn't it!

There are the babies!

What do you think is going on in that head?

Lets play catch up!

Here are the last few photos that I took in January of the kids! My network went down for about a week, so I wasn't able to update anything! It drives me crazy when things don't work like they should! I am back at it now though, but I had wanted to put these photos up sooner. Lily and Oliver are doing great! Lily is learning new things all the time and she is getting so big, turning into such a little girl! The words that she knows now are Mama, Dada, bebe (baby), peas (please), dede (David), Baba (I think this one is supposed to be brother as she says it as she climbs over him to give him kisses!) Byebye, and she has a Lily way of saying morning. She likes to go out, it drives her crazy to be in the house all day. I still force her into taking a nap during the day, she doesn't always like it, but she always needs it!

Oliver is such a great little boy. He usually only takes one nap during the day as well, but if I am lucky it is a nice long nap! My children don't sleep during the day! Help! Sometimes he will take a cat nap as well. I am sure his habits will change as he grows. He likes sitting in his walker and lets Lily push him around. He isn't as photogenic as Lily is/was but I think I got a few good shots of him for the site. He is a big boy, he likes to be up and looking around. He also loves to be held!

There is a smile for everyone!

Just look at that face!

Oh so much better (don't you just love the hair)

Lily zonked on her high chair during lunch (this is a very rare incident)

Uh Oh!

Pushing Oliver around (she is going to be doing it the rest of her life!)
