Family pics and home-leave....

I thought I'd post our latest family pics. We did a bunch of silly ones this week in preparation for our home-leave back to the States! I thought they turned out pretty cute....


We tried a dog-pile pic, and it is my favorite one!! Although, I must say, trying to do a dog-pile with a timer on a camera is VERY tricky!!! We had to teach P how to set the timer, and then he had to run and jump on (and have A jump on him) before it went off! Let's just say....it took a few takes!

The good ole' pyramid. L LOVED being on top!

The gang!

After nearly 10 months in the Philippines (Has it really been that long???), we're headed back to the States for our home-leave trip this weekend. We get to stay almost an entire month. Our time there will be filled with family reunion after family reunion, doctors appointments (with lots of shots), and shopping trips. We have SO much to do! I really can't wait until we live closer to our families so that we can actually take a REAL vacation instead of just crazy trips home to see family once a year! The 28 hour flight home is no picnic for a mom of 3....although my kids would beg to differ! They can't wait to hop on that plane, and ask me every day, "How many more days until we go on the airplane?" The flight attendants showered them with chocolates and ice cream sundaes last time...so they were in heaven. Hopefully this flight goes as well as our flight here!! Wish us luck!!!

Father's Day

Here's some pics from Father's Day.
I found the cutest mini cakes at the mall here...and P and I decided dear 'ole dad MUST have one for Father's Day! Isn't it just the cutest!?! I think I will be getting all of my kids one for their bdays from now on--at least for as long as we live in the Philippines anyway. Wouldn't this just be the coolest surprise in your lunchbox, on your birthday!! All the kids would be SO jealous! :o)

L sure loves her daddy!!! She has become quite the daddy's girl lately...even bypassing mom when she gets hurt and going straight to dad! She definitely has her dad's personality....and LOVES to tease!!
