Oh the little joys in life

We celebrated Jonathan’s bday last week and had so much fun. He turned 28! We are getting old ;) . On the actual day I made him a card that he could open a section every couple of hours to receive a little surprise and a note :D. I enjoyed writing it. There is something about writing your feelings about your husband down that is different than just telling him in person. I am again reminded to what a wonderful man I married. We celebrated by going out to eat with his family at one of our favorite restaurants. Lucilles southern bbq. It was yummy! The real big outing was the next day. Since Jonathan’s family has lots of bdays in Oct. We all celebrated by going to the magic castle. It’s a neat place up in Hollywood. Reminded me a lot of hogwarts but much smaller of course. A place where magicians can learn how to perform magic! You can only go to this place if a member of the magic castle invites you. We had dinner followed by a tour around the castle. Where magicians perform magic shows at different parts of the castle. The magic was really mind blowing. Us human beings are just so talented ;).

Besides this neat event we have had our normal wonderful routine and Kiera is just getting so big. For the first time ever in her life she said goodbye to me and did not cry when her babysitter came! She has been so much better at saying bye. We are proud of her being more independent but will miss her clinginess too I’m sure. She has really been picking up more and more chinese words. Which is neat to see. She is also getting good at saying her please and thank yous without me prompting her. She is having a hard time with thinking everything is hers though. Sharing is not as easy as before ;) but she’ll just have to learn. Another exciting thing is that I have discovered the container store and will not divulge how much I have spent. BUT my car looks so much better with these amazing hooks for my bag and a trash bag. Our kitchen is starting to become more organized too and so is my bathroom counter! Oh the little joys in life :D.

     Another huge plus this weekend is that we had my dad over! He transited in L.A so we were able to see him for a little bit. Kiera just loved grandpa and grandpa was nice to play with her even after a very very long flight!
