A wonderful family day

We haven't had much family time lately. Well, compared to the previous year I mean. On the work front, Peen has been getting busier so he's had less opportunity to hang out with Kim and myself. He took the day off today. He will only be getting busier from now on.

We took Kim to her music and movement class.

One of her favourite songs at the moment:

"Who's that peeping at the window?
Who's that knocking on the drum?"



Today, the drum was replaced by the bell and here she is knocking on the bell.....gingerly. And she passes the drum stick on to Joel.



And waves at papa.



Then we met Earl for brunch. He had just returned from a mission trip with Pastor to India. He was telling us all about his trip. Kimmy just ate fries. Healthy food, not!

On the way home, Kim dropped off to sleep in the car and we detoured to the Robinsons sale at the Expo. And here is what we bought the sleeping girl. I've been eyeing one of these for her for a long while. Finally, we got it.



Can you believe that she didn't want to sit in it in the beginning? I wanted to put her in just to check out how the different models manouvered but she refused to be put into one! After we finally got her in, she refused to get out of it! Haha.

This evening, we took a walk to the nearby Community Centre (also known as sports hub) where there was a new diner. It's a nice casual western food place. I had really nice lamb chops while Peen had a pesto pasta for dinner. Kim had eaten hers at home but she had a second dinner eating two of the three chicken wings and some of Peen's pasta.



Then we took a nice walk home. I think the jogger has now been replaced with this new toy. Oh...did I mention that there are some buttons for Kim to push but instead of a horn or bell, it plays music? And get this, it plays Christmas carols! I guess Christmas has come early. I suspect the batteries are going to go missing mysteriously soon.

Kim is getting so grown up, Van! I love that picture of her waving at Peen. Sorry to hear that Peen has to spend so much time at work. Am glad Kim has you around 24/7, though! Do you go out with her on your own a lot? I used to do that with Emily when we were in Singapore - took bus, walked with the stroller, drove all over the island shopping etc. Now I still do that with the kids, but it's a bit of a circus.
