I'm a Gentleman.

Elias made me laugh on my birthday.

On the way to lunch...
Are you Chinese or American?
E: I'm a gentleman.

Ordering dessert after lunch...
E: dessert make me stronger!
uh ah. I don't think so :D

I Like Daddy

There was thunders and lightning this evening. The big boys were interested in the lightning at first when they were still far away in a safe distance. But once the storm came closer, they were a bit concerned. Preston and I reminded them that they're safe inside, and mommy, daddy, and popo were all here with them. And if they're still scared, they could pray to Jesus. Elias put his hands together and said a prayer with me.

Micah: "Jesus not here."
Preston: "You can't see Him, but He is here."
Micah: "You can't see Him because it's dark outside."

Then Preston went out to the balcony to enjoy the lightning show, and Micah was REALLY concerned then. Elias was under the table, and Micah was hiding behind a chair. He was in tears when he said to me, "I like daddy." I knew he was afraid lightning might strike daddy or something. So I had to get Preston back in here. I almost cried... :P

Things They Said...II

At age 3, it is a year full of imaginations and explorations. Elias has started to ask "why" about everything, and he sure knows how to distract you when he's in trouble by asking "what is it?" at whatever is around him. They say the darnedest things, too...

EM were out on the balcony for the first time this season. It was very nice out today. Elias saw and pointed at a plane and said, " Gong gong is riding that." Gong gong was always on the plane when he's in HK ;)

Then they noticed the swimming pool was closed. E asked, "Yi yi not there." I laughed. Janice laid out by our pool a few times last summer, and the boys would say hi to her from the balcony.

I asked them, "where is yi yi?"

"Yi yi went work from uncle Peter." answered Micah.

He said the same thing last night when we're leaving po po's house. He was like, "Yi yi not here." I reminded him that yi yi is in Seattle, and he said yi yi working from uncle Peter.


Later this evening while I was cooking dinner, the big boys were playing with the foam letters. Elias used the letter "T" as a hammer to "scrap" bird poop off the windows :)


At bedtime, Elias said "he doesn't like baby" for the first time :( I think he was jealous cuz I was holding Joel, and Micah sat next to me, and he wanted to sit on my lap. He was just saying "I like baby" this morning while touching Joel on the face. Before when it was just Micah and him, even though they had to share mommy, at least they each got to sit by my sides, and I could still wrap my arms around them. I need another arm!

Funny Things

The twins were playing with hubby's beard stubbles the other day. They pointed at it, "White!"

One night while putting the twins to bed.
"I love you right now mommy." Said E
"I love you, too sweetheart." I was melting :)
"I love you Elias" Hubby said.
"You're not mommy." Said E

Ouch...my poor hubby :P

you know you have twins when they can finish each other's sentence.
you know your twins watched too much tv when they do this:
The twins singing, "lalalalalalala..."
one goes, "PBS kids"
the other one goes, "dot org."
