Happy Valentines Day!

Happy Valentines Day! We hope everyone is celebrating who they love today! Emma & Eli have gotten spoiled rotten by their Daddy by getting a small wooden train track set. I got a little spoiled too with a couple of goodies :)
We are meeting Adam on his lunch break to eat lunch at the park on the arsenal with the kids. It is supposed to be a beautiful day and we are looking forward to enjoying it!!

A Hearty Weekend

Tonight after we got home from spending time at my parent's house we had an awesome Family night! We baked a pizza and while it was baking me and the kids made heart shaped chocolate chip cookies in honor of Valentines Day. It was really fun... Emma was into it as much I expected, but I was surprised at how much Eli enjoyed making the cookies heart shaped!

YUM!

After some good food and family fun it was time for a bath!

Adam and I both bathed the kids and made it a family affair which is a treat. All 4 of us stayed up past our bedtime last night and then the kids STILL woke up super early this morning so we were all for a early bedtime after a warm bath and books!

Not an eventful weekend night for most... but we are happy and blessed! These are the moments we will remember the most!

Lesson #1

At the dinner table I feel like we are just constantly griping at the kids to "eat your food"! So last night at dinner Emma starts giving me a Spanish lesson because she is about to speak it fluently- Thanks Dora. I tell her I am not Mexican and I don't want to learn Spanish. She starts telling me how much she LOVES Spanish. I tell her she is Indonesian and she should learn to speak Indonesian (while I give evil eyes at her Daddy). I heard the angels in heaven above sing when Adam said "ok". SO we got our first Indonesian lesson at dinner last night...
#1 Satu
#2 Dua
#3 Tiga (teka)
#4 Empat
#5 Lima (leema)

Looking forward to lesson #Dua on #s 6-10!!!
When we started learning Indonesian at the dinner table and doing less griping at them to eat- they ate their dinner!

Eli

He is often overlooked by people besides Mommy & Daddy due to his crazy sissy's overactive personality. He is everybody's boy. Mommy's boy, Daddy's boy, even Sissy's boy. His best friend is his Sissy. His favorite activities include being held, being cuddled, watching Dora, holding his froggie (lovey), running, telling Sissy no, reading books, eating, stealing toys from Sissy, being carried everywhere... he is a sweet precious baby boy. In 26 days my baby boy is turning 2- blowing my mind.

He hasn't been feeling good again. We took him to the doctor on Saturday after he told me over ad over that his ear hurt (the kid never complains so we take his smallest complaint seriously). the doctor said the weather change (crazy weather going from snow and ice to sixtys then back down to 27 degrees) probably is playing a huge role in him not feeling well. They said he has pressure built up in his ears (a lot like what our ears feel like when we are on a airplane). They gave us some medicine to give him and we have, but he is still looking pitiful.

Prayers & positive thoughts for our littl guy are appreciated.

We are so thankful to have you in our lives Eli Arief Roap!

Pinkalicious Party

Last Friday night we took Emma on a date all by herself with Mommy & Daddy. We went and ate dinner then took r to a Pinkalicious Birthday Party for her best friend Finley.

It was really cute! They did the little girl's hair and makeup and they all dressed up like a princess! It was completed with a tea party and cake!
