Much needed quiet weekend.

How cute is that?!  Meilings little robe after a bath with her sisters.

Jia loves climbing anything, padded and soft made it even better.

This little guy is 23mo.   They played together for a while, it was really sweet.

We haven't had much down time since we got home with Jia.  So, this weekend we found ourselves without any plans with anyone!  Wild.  Rare.  We had a lazy morning, the three girls had a great long bath and Jia had a good long nap while the big girls played Wii, then we took off for the day.  Played in some stores, let the girls poke around and shop for new books.  Then went to Jumpin' Jimminies (sp?).  Jia thought the toddler section was pretty cool and she played in there for almost two hours.  Mostly by herself, occassionly her sisters came and checked in with her.  There were some other babies there but they weren't as interested in socializing as she was.  The amazing part is that she was happy to stay in her area and didn't insist on following the big girls to the big kid section!  We had dinner out and got home in time for Jia to head to bed.

Sunday Eric tried to ride but he came home early claiming his toes were too cold.  I think he was very graciously coming home early so that I could take the big girls to the matinee.  We're out for dinner tonight for my nephews 13th Birthday (Happy Birthdy Ty Man!) and after they're planning to go to the movie but it will be too late for the girls so I wanted them to go Sunday so they wouldn't feel left out.  Anyways, we saw 'Little Fockers' and although they thought it was funny, I have to say the content was a bit more adult than I was expecting. 

We're all feeling better, the colds are under control.  We all have the occassional cough but thankfully we're mostly back to normal.  Lili seems to be going through more growing pains.  My brother used to get them.  I never did and Eric can't remember them.  She is complaining a lot.  We think her right knee is actually about 1/2" higher than her left?  Does that happen?  I should go read up, perhaps she'd feel better if we could tell her it was normal.

This afternoon is Jia's 1st Doctors appointment since we've been home.  Hopefully she takes that in stride as she does everything else.  She'll need to do a blood draw, but we'll do that another day when Fei isn't with us.  Fei is totally freaked about Jia having to go through that.
