Surprise visitor from Florida!

Wei Wei, Xiao Yi (Ali), and I went to see Met Opera concert at our local park on Friday night. Wei Wei did great for the picnic/pre-party and managed to sit through about 45 minutes of the opera before he got bored. That's not bad. We took a quick walk and watched some more before we left at intermission (or what we think was the intermission). Thank goodness they publish plot summaries in the program. Tough enough to follow opera, let alone with Wei Wei beside you.

So we head back home and get Wei Wei in bed. Jerry had left me a note that he went to the movies and in he walks in around 11 pm -- with Joanne! He flew her in as a surprise! So Joanne spent the weekend with us and it was wonderful. Jerry even made spa appointments for us, so we had a massage on Saturday afternoon. She headed back home on Sunday afternoon and we miss her already. Wei Wei was taking a nap when she left and he asked for her when he got up.

I informed Jerry that I will be re-upping his contract for another year.

Everyone loves bubbles

Over the past weekend, we all went outside and played with bubbles. Everyone loves bubbles.

Nathan and Kyle

Here are the first photos that we've received from Audrey and Badri. Like they're busy or something. Puh-leeze.

Nathan is on the left and Kyle is on the right. We think they are the cutest things ever. Can't you tell they are thinking of their Auntie Wendy?

Pavarotti...well not really

Garrick is practicing for a recital at daycare. I think he still needs a little more practice.

Update -- Twins and Bulldozer

Nathan, Kyle, and Audrey were happily all discharged from the hospital on Sunday. Mom is staying with her and Badri to help out. As you can imagine, feeding, burping, and changing the boys is an all-day job.

And also happily, we were able to find another green bulldozer!! Wei Wei also fell in love with a police car. He didn't seem too interested in the bulldozer after seeing the police car, but we weren't taking any chances. He has too good a memory.

Crisis averted . . . whew!

This weekend's lesson: buying a small, inexpensive toy seemed so harmless at the time, but buyer beware! It turned into two trips to the store, another new green bulldozer, a police car, and then cancelling an internet order for a green bulldozer (Jerry wanted insurance).

The Green Bulldozer

We went to the store yesterday and while we were there, bought Wei Wei a green bulldozer, which he loved. And in what I'm sure will be the first of many instances like this, we think he left it in the restaurant last night. That's got to be a record -- purchased at 4 pm, lost by 7 pm.

So . . . . he's getting ready for bed and looking for his new green bulldozer. Jerry and I are searching the house, the cars, the garage -- everywhere for the darn bulldozer. So I go back to the store last night and OF COURSE they don't have anymore. I buy another bulldozer.

First thing Wei Wei says this morning: "I WANT MY NEW BULLDOZER!"

Houston, we have a problem. We try and break the news to him gently. We show him the alternative bulldozer and tell him how cool it is.

He does not buy it. He hands me the new bulldozer.

"I don't like this bulldozer. I want my green bulldozer."

We're now all getting dressed, prepared to visit every Kohl's in the tri-state area to look for another green bulldozer.

Cousins!!!

We have new twin nephews! Audrey had a scheduled c-section on Wednesday, May 30.
Nathan -- 6 lbs, 3 oz -- 19 3/4" long
Kyle -- 4 lbs, 13 oz -- 19" long

They are soooo sweet, cute, and cuddly, as only newborns can be. All of a sudden, Wei Wei looks like a monster next to them. He is not that impressed. I think he senses they will be competition for attention.

Audrey is scheduled to be discharged today, but we're not sure yet whether the twins will be able to go home with her. Due to Kyle's size, he may have to stay in the hospital a little longer. We'll know more later today.
