I'm so excited to experience Kimi's first Holidays. Starting with a visit to the pumpkin patch to pick out a Halloween jack o lantern. Kimi ran around picking up all the pumpkins she could. Then she picked out a perfect big, med, and little one.


Kimi and Daddy with her medium pumpkin!

Kimi's first bounce house! Those are a real work out since she doesn't bounce unless I jump hard to make her bounce.

It was fun falling all over the place!


Look out project runway I'm designing a line of hats/underwear....very versatile.

It has been a beautiful October and we have been on lots of trips to the zoo, here is a family pic.


The mini tractors in the petting zoo are a hit!


Time for some community beautification! Neon pink and blue paints were perfect! First I'll paint the paint brushes!


I think I'll repaint this car blue, it really needs a fresh coat of paint.

Just wanted to update some photos and new news. There isn't any new news but Kimi's first ever holidays are coming up and I'm very excited to experience them with her. Over the past few months I have been working a lot to make up for Ken being officially unemployed. I'm working 2 jobs and 7 days a week with one day off. I really miss being with my little Kimi. She is continuing with her Mandarin daycare which she enjoys. She started gymnastics and loves it she asks to go often. I will say we are going to school tomorrow with your friends, she will say no the other one, other school. She says nastics as she tries to do the splits or does downward dog. She is a natural and has very good balance. The second class she was up on the high balance beam ( with padding below of course). Now we can't keep her from climbing.

She is speaking so much both languages, she continues to count however we are working on expanding our numbers I think she is board with counting to 10. She likes to pretend to make and sell me or anyone food. Her specialty is chocolate cake and pizza, she never forgets to collect the money and quickly sticks it in her pocket. She loves cooking and we recently made our first batch of oatmeal cookies she actually helped a lot. We also made a fig tart for Max's birthday. She knows to ask for Tylenol for fever, orajel for her teeth, and ice with kisses for boo boos. She is almost ready for coming to work with me. Ken and Kimi do visit me for dinner@the hosp job they join me sometimes. Now when I go to work she says Kimi go work too it is heartbreaking to hear. We are thinking she can read or has memorized books we read. Tonight she pulled out a book we have not read in a long time and she look at the cover and said colors! which was the title. The other day she was reading a numbers book and on the right page she was saying numbers huh? She has an amazing memory, recently we were in a mall where we visited the Easter bunny last March! We walked in and she said bunny rabbit? I remembered we saw him there long ago. We are close to finalizing our adoption and met with a SW last week. During the meeting Kimi was running wild she was bringing the stool out of the bathroom to climb up and get dog treats! She is such a problem solver. She like to keep a small stash in her drawer of dog treats to doll them out as she sees fit.
