Camping!

The girls went on their first ever camping trip this weekend! (Was my first time too!)

Riding the San Pan to the campsite. 

Arrival at South Lantau. 

Our campsite. 

Dinner is served! Sausages and steak!

Playing at the beach at night!

Girls peacefully sleeping in their tent. 

Good morning!

Playtime at the beach. 

And it's back to Hong Kong. 

Some panoramic pics. 

Recent happenings - sleepovers, cousins and more

Video 530 and Video 531 - Natalie will be participating in this year's English Speech Festival.  I'm excited for her because this is a great opportunity to develop her public speaking skills.  Here she is practicing beach time with her friend Olivia, and also by herself.

Video 532 and Video 533 - Poor Ashley had croup last week.  Watch and listen to videos of sad Ashley.

Video 534 - Ashley's got some new dance moves (not just shaking her head anymore).

Video 535 - While trying to take a video of Ashley dancing, listen to Lauren and Natalie arguing in the background.

Video 536 - Ashley can very clearly pronounce "Bye!" and also likes to try to sing along when I sing her lullaby.

Playing with cousins never gets old.

Three sisters.

View from my balcony.

Natalie has a busy Tuesday!  All day school, followed by phototherapy, followed by tutoring = dinner on the road.

Whenever Ashley gets a furry doll, her thumb pops into her mouth like this.

Scarlett selfie.

Look who can stand by herself!

Happy 3rd Birthday, Lauren!

Today, Lauren turns three years old.  We celebrated with a (mostly) home-made minion cake with family and friends.  She was really sweet and super excited about her cake and presents.  Three years-old seems to be the age when they really "get" the birthday thing.  

Happy Birthday, Lauren. We love you!
