Last Sunday Supper…
…of 2011.
Haha. Yep, we had an impromptu Sunday Whitey Supper last night and it was a fun way to finish the weekend. Jes served braised short ribs with veggies and wild rice and it was DELICIOUS. Michelle also brought her yummy lemon chess pie.
The kids were off the hook last night and it’s fun to have so much energy in the house. There was a bipolar eating match between the two Sokol-Jun kids. One one side, you had Reese chowing down on hummus and tomatoes with the hummus going up her nose and in her hair.
On the other side, you had Jack doing everything BUT eating. With the threat of missing out on the scrumptious dessert, he finally plowed through his dinner while on the verge of tears.
We were also entertained by Rowan and his new raspberry trick. He’s very musical and proud of it too!
Oh and Jack also gave me a new ornament for my Christmas tree! I love it!!! (Thanks Michelle!)
Here are a few more photos.
Rowan turns one on Tuesday and his mom and dad threw him a little party today. He got a big ol’ puppy and was in love with it. He LOVES doggies and this was the perfect gift and prop for his mini photo shoot.
Bang’s parents flew up for the weekend and they couldn’t be prouder. They were also very excited for our anticipated arrival too.
There were lots of babies and a Jack who looked like a giant next to all the toddlers. The Bangs have a HUGE backyard and he took advantage of the space.
Reese was all dressed up for a party with a bow in her hair and all. Simply adorable.
Little Ben played under the table and it was fun to watch him from the backyard window.
Alexander (the youngest of the group) was chillin’ with his dad and got a quick ride on Bang’s shoulders.
Rowan had to choose his destiny and chose the keyboard. I guess that translates to a future as an Engineer.
Of course there was cake and there was an extra one for Bang’s birthday, which happens to be two days after Rowan’s. Here’s a photo of the Bangs.
And here’s the rest of the 
Reese came over tonight while her brother got to go to Cirque du Soleil with the parents. The only problem was that I was in class all day and wouldn’t be able to get home in time for the drop-off. So, Jes had to fly solo with her for the first 30 minutes until Bang and Vyl came over with Rowan to do some laundry and then I arrived another 45 minutes later. I’ve had Reese in my care before but she’s usually asleep while I’m entertaining Jack. This was the first time I’ve had to entertain, feed, and change her and she was so much fun.
This evening I drove down to visit Ishya, Billy, and the babies at the hospital. The new mommy and daddy looked exhausted and were running on fumes but had enough energy for some photos with Sadie and Theo. I also had the chance to log on to the hospital’s WiFi long enough to get a FaceTime call to Ranee and Jamie so that they could say “hello” to the happy family. Once again, technology proves its usefulness in these special occasions.
Ishya looks great and is recovering the best she can while Billy is helping out and now the Super Swaddler.
Ishya was even brave enough to take a photo while holding both of the babies at once.
Here’s a photo of me with the little ones. It was so fun meeting them for the first time. Sounds like Sadie is the feisty one and Theo is the laid back one for now.
When I placed them together, they seemed to soothe each other and took turns fussing. Sadie is on the left with the bow and Theo is on the right. Billy and Ishya have a lot of work in store for them but it looks like it’s going to be a lot of fun too.
This morning I received a text from my cousin Ishya saying that her water broke. Just a few hours later, I received a text and photos from my uncle that the twins were born! Wow, that was quick!
The girl, Sadie, came out first weighing in at 4 lbs, 7 oz.
The boy, Theo, came out weighing in at 5 lbs, 5 oz.
Last night we had a Pre-Thanksgiving Dinner at the Bangs’ new home in Burlingame with smoked turkey and all the fixings. They finally moved out of their Marina apartment to the ‘burbs into a really cute 3-bedroom house. We were also treated by a visit by The Dangs who are in town from Maryland to visit family. It was fun to have everyone together and there were kids everywhere! The great thing about their house is the HUGE backyard. Jack and Andersen had a really fun time running around the big tree and on the grass outside.
