Ok, so I haven't posted in a while, and I've been getting complaints. But it doesn't really help when I don't have any pictures. We have lots of holiday pics that were all posted elsewhere, so everyone who follows this blog has already seen them and there's no need to show them again. Part of the reason for them having been posted elsewhere is because they weren't taken with our camera, so they didn't belong to us and we had no control over the posting.
Where is our camera you ask? Well if you don't know yet, we left it in the Newark airport on our way to Boston over the Christmas holiday. So we spent our whole vacation without a camera and calling the Newark airport everyday. Turns out, when we got back to L.A., Newark airport is not very reliable (the airline people told us this in Los Angeles). So we put in a claim, but haven't yet gotten our camera back, and I doubt we will. So that's the story of the lost camera.
We haven't bought a new one because that was an expensive camera and a new one would be more expensive still and it's not at the top of the list at this time. We do have a smaller camera, that more than does the job. But after having the other one...it just feels sort of sad. All of this to say that we've been pretty bad at taking pictures.
The boys are not looking much different from when they did over the holidays, the only things you can tell is their behavior and you can't see that on pictures. Maybe I'll start posting some videos.
Ok, so where does the title come from? That's Ricky's conversation about Spring. He's been told at school when spring was going to start, so he spent all last week saying that spring was starting, and he was very excited. He asked me if he could go out and play in the sprinklers because spring had started. Sprinklers? Well, since last Spring, everytime he saw the sprinklers on he'd get all excited and say "it's spring!!" He did this all summer as well. So somehow, sprinklers and Spring are practically the same thing and he wants to go out and play in the water, which is really why he likes sprinklers/spring in the first place.
Adrien, my baby, is not so much of a baby anymore, he's started his terrible twos tantrums, specially when he's tired. He does have a wonderful personality, though; he's very social, will wave and say hi and bye to everyone and even blows kisses...well almost everyone, there are some over-friendly people that he just stares at and gives them a "what are you doing?" look.
So this is my update, sorry again for the lack of photos, we will make an extra effort to snap more shots of the boys. Stay tuned for a post on our nature walks....maybe we'll take some pics at one of them.
You wanted Photos, here they are, these were taken tonight. We had a photo shoot of sorts. This is a rare opportunity where both of them are on my lap at the same time and stay long enough to sit for pictures.
Beach sunsets are amazing:
The water was a bit cold to be out there...it was warmer than Los Angeles beaches though.
I was translating for some our doctors.
Our lion tamer hosts did a great job with their costumes this year(as always), and of course baby Langston made a great lion. If you notice in the first picture here mom tamer is having a hard time with the little lion, but by the last, all he needed was his meal!
- My little darth vader, that was his costume, really enjoyed running around outside, and he looks a lot like his brother here.
He also had a fascination with the dead!!
