Out and about

As you know (if you have been reading regularly), our friends Cynde and Allen are still in China getting to know their new little one, Josie. Today is their older daughter's Bday.

Happy 6th Birthday Phoebe!!!

Yesterday we picked her up just before J got out of school. They played video games and drew pictures for awhile while E napped. Then, we took them to the park and out to dinner to celebrate. It was really interesting having all three kids. It gave B and I a taste of what we are in for when we have three of our own. All I can say is we both went to bed pretty early last night and B made the comment that we will never be going anywhere in public again once this baby arrives! It wasn't that the kids were badly behaved or anything. In fact, they were really good and (for the most part) followed directions. It was all going well until E started screaming in the restaurant. She was tired and is cutting a tooth. She cried the whole way home and J and P were saying they couldn't take anymore. So between the crying of the baby, plus two kids yelling to quiet her up, all B and I could do was laugh. This is a good thing. It could have been worse.

All in all, we had a great time. Here are some pics I took at the park.

I'm even cute when I pout...

J and P were saying "Hi to Josie (and mom and dad from P)

from Texas" right before I snapped this one.

On top of the world...

P tried to go up with J, then called for help. She decided she wasn't old enough to be on top. She said she will be "old enough when I'm 7 like Jacob!" So cute!
