National Acrobats of China

For Christmas, Hank got me tickets to see the National Acrobats of China. They came here to Monterey. We went last night and it was our first real outing without the baby. We got our friends, the Mullins, to babysit for us. I already missed Jessica by the time I got to my seat. But the show was amazing! Those Chinese acrobats did things that I didn't even know were physically possible! They had guys doing flips and contortionists and 10 girls on one bike and spinning plates and balancing vases on heads. Wow. It was incredible! And what a fun date with my sweetheart.

Good for you getting out on a date and having a sitter. I get nervous going to the grocery store! When my baby can eat foods and drink from a cup, i'll relax a lot more. It's getting easier though.

We went to the theater there and saw the shaoling (sp?) monks - also amazing physical performances! That was one of our highlights while in Monterey :)

I am finally blogging about our big trip to Hawaii last month. It was our 3rd anniversary and our dear friends, the Barnums, said we could come visit them anytime we wanted....so we did! Here are a lot of pictures, in no particular order: On the actual day of our anniversary, April 19th, Hank and I left the baby with a sitter and hit the town by ourselves. Since I wasn't a fan of the whole snorkling thing, we took a submarine ride to get a good view of the sea life. Yes, that is a real sea turtle in the real ocean, 100 ft underwater. I snapped this picture out my window. The view of Waikiki from our sub before we went under. The flag at the USS Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor. It has been raised to half mast everyday since the memorial was erected. Hank helping raise the flag first thing in the morning. "Give me gum gum, dumb dumb." Us and the Barnums at the Temple.

So Sleepy . . .

So, we may be terrible parents, but we thought this was so funny. Jessica wouldn't take an afternoon nap today and by dinnertime she was exhausted. She was so tired that she couldn't even chew her food. The best part was that Hank could not stop laughing at her and it was keeping her awake. This video was much longer, but I cut it down...because watching a baby fall asleep may not be as interesting to you as it was to us.
