Pooltime

One of the real perks of our current apartment is the pool & pool-side landing. The kids enjoy the water and it's always an option in the 80degree F climate. After a proper slip-slop-slap with sunscreen the family is ready for merman & mermaid action. Savanna is the self-proclaimed Princess Ariel (Disney) of the waters and Colten and Sienna are simply pawns in her adventures.






























Not surprisingly the Colt revels in the splash factor, but is stressing the limits of float toys deemed appropriate for his age. Sienna is a tad more delicate when it comes to plunging in and is still not accustomed to being dragged down to sea level by Princess Ariel. Luckily Mommy is donning Posh Spice sun glasses to ensure that both kids receive suitable attention in this, their first public social scene. Unfortunately though this prestige comes with a cost. I've recently filed two restraining orders against local paparazzi to prevent overexposure at this young age.

Sienna

This was such a great picture I just wanted to post it.

Back in the Hood












After a chilly and somewhat exhausting slog across America it was refreshing to return to our home in Singapore. It's a fantastic place for us at this moment in time and we feel rather fortunate to be here. Some shots of life back to normal...















On The Move








Eager anticipation with a twist of apprehension.
This would succinctly describe the feelings here as the twins throw themselves forward with their first movements, building momentum...with likely mayhem waiting just around the next corner.



Owing to his 13 minute head start in life, Colten has mastered non-stop rolls and now lurches ahead. To be fair I'm not sure we can identify the consecutive forward belly flops as true crawling, but like most things for ole Bubba he attacks it with a passion and curious ummph, rather than a second thought.


Sienna has been proficient with her downward dog yoga stretch for quite some time, but now seems to recognize that there IS a next possible step to consider. She clearly thinks through each move, expressing great frustration when her tired limbs lead to collapse in a rapid meeting with the floor.


But it is incredibly entertaining to watch, much like a favorite mini-series where you look forward to each new episode, while acknowledging the sad reality that this part of the story will soon come to an end.
