Alaina's 100th Day

Keeping with Korean tradition, we celebrated Alaina's 100th day of life on January 17th. We had great food and a great time celebrating her. Of course, we already feel like she is growing too quickly. We are glad to be through the sleepless nights and she enjoys an amazing 10.5 straight hours of sleep a night. Alaina's personality is really developing. She is generally happy, mellow baby but when she gets mad - watch out! She will yell, not cry, but yell at us when things don't go her way. We think it's funny. Thank you Auntie Penny for Alaina's pretty dress!
I loved the chance to use the good china!

A Winter Beach Visit

We were so excited to take Peggy & Jaina to one of our favorite places - the beach - on Sunday. What a nice surprise when it turned out to be 72 degrees! Had we known it would be so warm, we might've put the girls in clothes better suited for playing in the surf. Kevin was so lucky to be stuck in a house with these 5 girls all week ;)

We had a great time playing in the sand and dipping our toes in the cold ocean. It felt like summer!

SF Zoo

I love zoos and insisted that we take Peggy and Jaina to the zoo while they were here. Alaina was a good sport all day, though I was a little tired from all the walking with her in the Baby Bjorn. She is much heavier than Hana was!A rare family photo. Although it is sunny out, we are all looking a little pale since we've been indoors all winter!

The sisters.

Jaina and Hana had so much fun climbing on all the animal statues.

Alaina and I left while Peggy, Kevin, Jaina & Hana stayed behind at the petting zoo. The girls weren't too scared to pet the animals.

Auntie Peggy & Cousin Jaina

One of Kevin's four sisters came to visit us this week with her daughter Jaina. We were so excited to see them and so excited that Hana got to play (and sometimes fight) with one of her cousins. How cute are they in their (unintentionally) matching shirts?!

Hana loves giving BIG hugs.

Happy New Year

Kevin and I were up late last night and were looking forward to a quiet day today. We were ambushed this morning by two sick girls. Hana came into our bed at 5 am. Alaina's been sleeping until 9 am lately but she was up at 7 am. She threw up 3 times after she ate this morning. Her puffy eyes, runny nose and whimpering cries make me so sad. Hana has had more colds this season than she has had in her whole life. Today's been nutty but hopefully not an indication of how 2009 will be! Poor little Alaina
