Sorry that it has been so long since I last published some pictures of our family. The excuse is the same as always . . . life got busy. I hope these pics redeem me =+)! Enjoy! Here is Eli boy playing with bubbles in the tub. His Daddy bought a bubble machine for him and his sister to enjoy, they love it so much!!GUESS WHO IS THREE YEARS OLD . . . PRINCESS GABBY GIRL!!! That's right, our baby girl is 3 already . . . wow!!

She is taking the job of being 3 very seriously!!
Or maybe not =+)
Hey . . . who is that impostor?!?!
Daddy and Gabby went on a birthday date . . . to her choice restaurant, she chose McDonalds . . . we think that her taste with probly get more expensive as the years go by =+). I got some pictures before they left.

We decided to spell the kids names with their cool tub toy letters. Gabby is trying very hard to hold still so that they don't fall.
We had to use the number 1 instead of an L for Eli's name . . . we couldn't find and L, he seemed ok with it though. Hope you enjoyed the pics, post a comment if you want to. We love you all, and miss you so much!!

Reach out and touch someone . . . what a handsome man. Eli got his first tooth yesterday . . . this means that he is a bunch less fussy then he has been up until yesterday. Good news for everyone!!This is Gabby and her "nanny" this is Kakak Ima (Kakak means older sister, it is the respectful way for Gabs to address her) She comes 9 to 12 Monday through Friday and it is a good time for Andy and I to get things done. She is awesome with the kids, she loves them so much and they adore her.

Bath time in the Benezette household is never dull . . . there is always something to laugh at and about.The double bucket-bath treatment . . . these two have such a ball together!!
Big man is starting to sit up on his own . . . he is growing up way too fast. He has reached so many mile stones in the last few weeks, it has been so fun to watch.
Playing on the floor . . . one of his favorite activities.
Here we are this past Saturday at the park . . . having a picnic and a cool down. This park is located behind the Petronas Towers (the big twin towers here in Kuala Lumpur, the ones that Malaysia is famous for). It has unending playgrounds and a fun little water park for the kids that is no deeper than Gabby's chest in the deepest spot. There are waterfalls and fountains and it's just a great place for the kids to splash around . . . they both love it.
Can't you tell that they are so miserable!!
Eli and Andy . . . big smiles all around!

Gabby and her monkey friend . . . the one that Papa bought for her at Hyvee in Missouri, during one of our grocery runs =+).
Eli being a big man and sitting up by himself.
Goofy kids.

Gabby decided that she would share her apple with Eli and let him take "licks of it" =+)
Gabby enjoying a fluffernutter . . one of her Papa's inventions . . . thanks for the fluff Papa and Grandma!!
What a little poser . . . we think that our Gabs is a doll, but we are a bit bias =+)


Me and Gabs hanging out together, best buds =+).
Clowning around as always . . . what else is new with this goof??
Eli is also learning to feed himself finger food . . . he really loves to do it by himself.
