Hanging out in our first "CB Cruiser" (Cardboard Car)!

Mommy and Papi gave us our first car (CB Cruiser) early in life! Although we don't know how to drive just yet, we were able to ZOOM up and down the Matsumoto strip (our hallway). Mommy got a great workout pushing us back and forth while we took in all the sights and let the breeze caress our hair!

Here we are posing in our new CB (cardboard) Cruiser!

Matisse: I look cool in my new ride! I have to keep my arms hanging out of the side of the box and be sure not to smile or even look mommy's way! I love all the advertising, especially "free wipes inside"...NASCAR here I come!
Asaya: I look TOO cute in my new convertible! I love all the sassy colors and there's enough room for me to stretch my legs.

Matisse and Asaya: Mommy can you please push us some more? We know your buttocks are burning but we are bored and want to burn some more cardboard!

PLEASE...POR FAVOR...ONEGAI...

We'll be little angels for the rest of the day...we promise

We had to wait a while for mommy to recover.

Asaya: I guess I will just tap my toesies while I wait

We're still waiting

Matisse and Asaya: Mommy are you okay? You don't look too good. Do you want us to call Papi so he can push us around?

5 MINUTES LATER....




Matisse and Asaya: AH!!! That was a blast!

Matisse: NASCAR here I come

Asaya: I love this chupon

Look Who's Talking

Her name is Asaya.
It was late September and she was in a moment of reflection.
At peace with her thoughts.
Enjoying some time to herself to observe nature from a distance
Contemplating those tiny images dancing in her head...


...I love this time of day because soon I will drink my milk and get a diaper change. I can hear the camera snapping away, which means mommy is taking cool pictures of me!


Suddenly, something broke Asaya's trance.
What's going on over there?
Can't you see I am in deep meditation?...

...more importantly, is mommy still taking pictures of me?




BOO!!!! It's ME MATISSE! What are you doing mommy? Can I get in the picture? WHAAAA! HAHA !HAHA! Look at me...happy to be...Matisse!

UH! That Matisse is such a boy! His silliness won't disrupt my time of peace, my moment of mediation, el tiempo para mi...

Hey mommy, can I use the camera now? I want to take pictures too!

Brotherly Love

Matisse and Asaya are addicted to the computer. As always, they were across the room playing and once they noticed the blue screen of the laptop they turtled their way over to the big red couch. Matisse was in a "big brother" mood and decided to embrace his baby sister. This special moment was extra nice because Asaya didn't scare off Matisse by yelling at him for "bothering" her. She actually enjoyed it...at least for a while!

Messy Little Eaters

We apologize for not updating our blog!! As you can see we have been busy cleaning up around the house. They enjoy smearing their food all over their face instead of eating it...thank goodness for washing machines for the high chair covers and water hoses for the babies :). We haven't invested in a puppy to automatically clean the babies and the kitchen floor, but we are seriously considering.
