3's A Charm

One thing Ive learned after having a baby is the true meaning of QUALITY FAMILY TIME.

You see, Scott is at the office/field M-F. He leaves the house no later than 7am and doesnt get home until 6pm, and Mikala goes to sleep at 8pm. Which means, he only gets to see her for about 2 hours tops each day....and thats on a Good week (sigh). On other weeks hes out of town and doesnt get to spend *any* time with her at all (or with ME for that matter!).

So, when I say "QUALITY FAMILY TIME"...I really mean it! We look forward to weekends. Every Saturday we get to spend time together as a family, and very Sunday (not only do we spend time with each other) we get to spend time with our parents, brothers and baby!

Scott had a wonderful idea to take me and Mikala to the Discovery Sight Center...






The three of us got to spend the day playing around in the museum.











There was a "Bubble" festival on the day we were there. Unfortunately, I wasnt allowed to take any pictures of it...bummer. Mikala was actually entertained for a long time watching the different colored lights beam off and through the bubbles.













I really think Mikala enjoyed the time out...I know I DID!















Its been THREE months since Mikala has seen her Uncle Kenta....Welcome Home Uncle Kenta! Kenta came back unannounced. He just bought a ticket and didnt tell anyone until about 20 hrs before he hopped on that plane. The funny thing is, is that just the DAY BEFORE, we sent him a We Miss You Card to Japan. Of course, now that hes here, he wont get the card until he returns back to Japan!
Can you imagine not seeing a fast-growing-baby for 3 months? Thats almost half of Mikala's life! Shes changed and grown SO much during the time he was gone.....wow.
(Doesnt she look like a little cartoon doll?!)

Auntie Joy-Joy and Uncle Cory finally got to hang out with us too! They're almost 100% done with their new house. We got to go over and dig our toes into their BRAND NEW thick Ralph Lauren carpet! Thats one clean place (where I wouldnt mind Mikala crawling all over the floors)! No shoes, No dirt, No outside-scum-tracking-onto-the-floors, No mess....nice! =)

We ate dinner with them and Uncle Kenta.

Uncle Charlie and Auntie Eileen came over to spend the day with my mom...FORTUNATELY, we were home and Mikala got to see them too!


Well, as I said earlier, Scott will either be at work or away....next week hes away again. SIGHHHH......but, he bought a web cam! So, he will get to see Mikala....but more importantly, Mikala will get to see him.

Oh, and Mika can kind-of hold her own bottle!
