really? i haven't blogged for exactly 6 months? unbelievable. well, here i am, trying to get back on the wagon. i guess after 2 years in Krakow, our family has fully adjusted to the change here and life continues - so my blog about adventures in Krakow will now be about our non-adventures in Krakow. i'll be posting mostly pictures and stories about the kids since it seems to be only family members who drops in once in a while to see updated pictures of the kids. those family members, namely my mom, has not caught up with facebook, obviously.
anyhow, since the last post, we have traveled around the world. korea-china-amsterdam-paris-prague-ireland. phew. kids did super well in all our travels and they especially enjoyed their asia trip. we have to plan another one soon!
makayla is now 6 - entered 1st grade and ethan is 4!!! their exchanges have been endlessly entertaining. here are some sample dialogues.
Mak embracing the mickey spirit
Mak: You know, what the most important part of the body is?
Mom: What?
Mak: It's the brain.
E: Yeah, because it stinks.
Mak: No! Because it THinks - TH, TH, Thinks.
E: Yeah, because it stinks.
Mak: . . . . .
ethan was a bit camera shy during our disney trip for some reason
Mom: What do you want to be when you grow up?
E: Ummmm... a monkey!
Mom: o...k....
E: And a doctor.
Mom: I think you can be a doctor but not a monkey.
E: Why? Makayla is going to be a teacher.
Mom: Well, you're a person.
E: Monkey is an animal.
Mom: Yeah, so it's hard for a person to be an animal. (it's hard? should I have said impossible?)
E: Ok. Then i want to be a dragon.
Mom: A dragon?
E: Yeah, but i don't want fire in my mouth. . . then i'll eat a monkey!!! kkkkkkk. That's silly! We don't eat monkeys. . . . . only fish, right mommy?
Mom: I guess so.
makayla loved posing with disney characters
Mak: (after looking at the messy playroom): Ethan, do you want to help the earth and live, then pick up the toys.
E: I want to live.
Mak: then pick up the toys.
E: (as he picks up some toys off the floor) Am I living now?
Mak: If you pick up the toys, you will live.

I've been waiting and waiting, so glad you're finally back. The kids look great, like they had lots of fun, but I bet you're crazy-tired after gallivanting around.
PS- Mak, we tried this "pick up your toys, or the Earth dies" routine once, and what we got was: I'm too tired. Goodbye, Earth. (Alex, age 4)
Can you believe I'm commenting here?? Your post reminded me to check. Man, Mak has blossomed so beautifully. They are a riot! These quotes will be ever more priceless with each passing year--and you can save them all for their wedding day or something!
Good to see you back on blog. I've been checking your blog for the past 6 months. Don't forget to remember your fans in Philly! Btw, your kids are cute and hilarious! =)
Welcome back Jer! both kids are growing up so beautifully - enjoy them while they are cute :-)
