Early Easter Celebration!

This week, we took Xinyi to the beach! She insisted on wearing her Dory shirt and mommy put her hat on like a Southern belle!


"Wow look at the ocean!"


Mommy also took Xinyi to see the Carlsbad flower fields, but just from the mall :).

"Cheese!!!"



Then on Sunday, we celebrated early Easter with all Great Grammy and Great Grampy's great grandchildren! Matching dresses for Gem and Xinyi!

Gemmy loves kissing Xinyi!

On the Easter Egg hunt!





Exploring egg treasures with Grampy!

"Take a picture!"

Then Ozzie and Cadence joined her!


Sitting with mommy.


Grammy and her grandbabies!

All of the great grandchildren on a "picnic"!



Oh, hi!

"How are you?"

Great Grampy snuck in a picture of all "eight" great grandchildren... including baby A in mommy's belly, while arranging for another great grandbaby picture. Except this one, the kids organized on their own! So cute!

Owen ran off, but look at Archie's face!!!

Then Gemmy took Xinyi on a walk in the backyard... holding hands... just because.

My heart is melting!

Great Grampy making balloons for the kids!

 Somehow we got them all looking somewhat at one camera!

 Smile, baby girl!

Yesterday night, we visited Grammy and Grampy! Always a blast!

Xinyi loves her bikes!

And sporting long jackets :P.

And slides!

Love you jie jie baby! We've taught Xinyi to say, "Come out A, come and play with me!" And hopefully she will, soon!

Holding hands and Baby A

"Hi! My name is Xinyi! I have a new puzzle book about fish! I'm excited!"

Yup, I'm pretty cute...

We had a nice lunch with Auntie Christina and Uncle Ben and Nai Nai and Yeh Yeh and Nathan!

Jie Jie baby has been obsessed with Finding Dory, so we borrowed Finding Nemo from Uncle Ben, and this was the result. Totally fixated.

We also borrowed Moana... similarly fixated!

We took a quick trip to the zoo with Cami and Miss Amy and the girls held hands!


Cami's mommy and I love watching these girls' friendships develop!

As for baby A, mommy asked daddy to take some pictures of her giant belly... for posterity.

This is on a trail near our home!

Daddy's pretty talented...

And mommy's belly button is sticking out.

Hi baby A! You can come out whenever you'd like!

Trying to mimic a picture that Auntie Christina took when I was pregnant with Clara!

And finally, my favorite, the older sister kissing the baby belly! (She promptly then faceplanted into mommy's belly... it was hilarious :D.)

Just about two more weeks, and our whole world is ready to turn upside down again, in the best of ways!
