mahala lost her first tooth on february 3, 2010! it was very loose and we could see the new tooth coming in already. she knocked it with her fist (!) and then daddy assisted by pulling it out. not even a whimper from her. she has never smiled so big! since we were in thailand, the tooth fairy was gracious enough to leave some thai baht under her pillow--120 baht! that's about 4 dollars. lucky girl got to go shopping with the cash. she appropriately bought herself a handheld mirror so she could admire her new smile! she also bought a rubics cube.
mahala and noble saw snow for the first time today! we went to the yuba gap sno-park for a day trip....a bit ambitious considering it was almost a three-hour drive. no fresh snow and it was 50 degrees out, so no snow angels or snowmen, but sledding was a blast!
this weekend included a visit to our friends simon and austin who are truly pied pipers. so many cool things to play with like musical instruments. the kids also got to help "repair" a piece of artwork-the mobile that has casts of lips hanging from it.
this is very typical of noble....crazy ensembles, lately punctuated with his giraffe boots. see that black thing in his right boot? it's a comb-in case of a hair emergency i suppose!
happy chinese new year! here is the celebration at the bay area discovery museum with the marin lion dancers.
