It is tough being cute!

It is a little difficult to cook when two babies want to be held. So, instead of four hands Katie and I only had two. We still had fun anyway.
This isn't good.
Playing in the leaves at the Arboretum.
Playing around with Liam.
Bye Bye
With Lolo and Lola at a Filipino celebration in Charleston.
At the Lee's department picnic, here is Aryana playing with Asher.
Daddy is so proud of his little girl.
Aryana was not happy when the circus came to town.
Posing in my kimono that Auntie Leilanie and Uncle Sar got me from Japan.

Daddy took a break from studying to spend time with Aryana at the pool.

Halloween 2008

For Halloween, we went to a couple of Halloween parties. One which Aryana won one of the best Halloween costume competitions. We went trick or treating with Auntie Sonia, Uncle Archie, Cheyenne, and Donovan around their neighborhood. Aryana had a ball trick or treating for the first time, and she was out for more than an hour, which Lee and I were impressed. She really got the hang of walking up to the candy bowl, picking up a piece of candy, and putting it into her bag. Next year, we will have to work on the "Thank you" part once she learns how to say it. Afterwards, we went to the Warrens to hang out.
Relaxing with the Fullwoods after spending the evening running around the neighborhood.

Taking a break with Auntie Sonia for a picture.
Trick or treating with Mommy and Daddy. (She was insistent of walking by herself.)
Went to another Halloween party with the Warren's. Unfortunately, a tooth was coming in at the same time.

Getting ready for a Halloween party!

Fall Break

During October, we took a week vacation to the east coast to visit family and friends. We got to see Auntie Leilanie pregnant, and Mathew getting huge. Aryana had a good time. We went to the library for story time and walks on the boardwalk. It is really neat to see how much Aryana loves the water. It was difficult getting pictures in front of the ocean because she kept turning to head toward the water. Lee of course got his Thrasher fries and protected them from the seagulls. (Lee will have to tell you the story sometime.) On the way home, we got to hang out with the Sarah, James, and Vanessa and meet their newest member Elizabeth. Aryana had fun playing with Vanessa and her toys. Their new house is awesome, and it makes Lee and I excited to know that one of these days we will be able to have our own house. (Sarah told me that the house next to theirs is for sale.)
