Uh-oh! I think this is becoming a habit. But first some random answers to recently (and frequently) asked questions:

1.the easter egg that said “I love momma” was made by my sweet husband and my daughter (not by me - although I do love my momma)
2.the surfer chic is not me, not now, not ever. Although at one time I did enjoy surfing, that picture is simply the template picture for blog posts on this program and only gets published when I forget to switch it out which, sadly, has been happening a lot lately - so sorry!
3.our blog will be moving to a new domain name soon - keep a lookout for more info about that in the very near future

Anyways, onto April in pictures...

In Asia, S used to sleep on my lap all the time. We traveled so often and there are no car seats (and usually no seat belts to strap them to even if we did have car seats although that’s on the top of our list when we start looking for a car to buy over there). I’ve missed it. The other day we were reading on the couch and she randomly fell asleep two hours before her normal nap time. It was like taking a special step back in time - love it!

Benaiah is so funny! He’s either very happy and smiley or very serious and intense! Look out, world! This kid is gonna be a game-changer!

S and I made laundry soap. For the last couple months, we’ve been trying different recipes. So far they’ve all worked pretty well and are significantly cheaper than regular detergent averaging about $0.02/load. Yay! and it’s super fun mother/daughter bonding time.

One of the single guys made us dairy-free chocolate chip cookies. We thoroughly enjoyed them!

We went for lots of walks.

We had lots of people over. S has a fun relationship with our neighbor across the street. She paints S’s toenails - it’s super cute!

J ran in a local 5k race and S loved cheering for him. “Go Baba!” she said over and over. J said he could even hear her from the other side of the track. We’ve noticed a funny thing with her language. Even though her English has improved significantly, she seems to revert to Asian when she’s excited or sad.
