Despina couldn't decide if she wanted to walk, sit in the backpack, or be held......so she thought she'd lay in the middle of the path instead!

I just got back (literally.....I walked in the door two hours ago!) from HK and I wanted to post some pictures for you all. We stayed at a fabulous hotel (Lanson Place Boutique Hotel and Residences) and had a fun filled four days with Tim. We visited Victorias Peak, Stanley Market, Santa's Town ( gotta love the English influence), and Kowloon, and ofcourse drank tea and ate Dim som.....yummy! We also took part in the Hong Kong experience and both got custom suits made.

Tim pics....

Here are a few more pictures Tim sent me of him flying.

Morning Jog

A few times a week Despina and I go for a morning jog...when you are up between 545 and 600 you need to find some way to make the morning pass! Somehow I think Despina is getting a much better deal out of our jogs though....I run for 30min pushing a 30lb stroller with a 20+ lb baby inside and she takes a nap!

Tim in action....

Finally! A picture of Tim flying where you can actually see him! This was taken recently
when they were doing some work with Spec Ops. Tim is in the cocpit on the left side (with the door open and the guys walking in).

Sagamihara Park

Everyone loves the swings! Although I was WAY too big for them.

A few more pictures from the park today.

Who closes a zoo?

Weeeeee! Despina sure loved the swing.

Amelia, Despina, and Isabella ready for the ride!

So, my friend Lita and I decided to take our girls to the zoo. We had been planning this little outing for about a week. Lita pulls Isabella out of pre-school for the day and we pack up the girls and head out. We drive to the zoo (only about 20min away) to get there and get turned away. It was closed! Can you imagine....I didn't know zoo's closed on a Tuesday? So, instead we heading over to Sagamihara Park. We had been told by a few of our friends it was a great place....and it was! It was a beatutiful day so we had a picnic ( of subway and Burger King but does that really matter?) and walked around. There were lots of playgrounds and plenty of room for the girls to run around. There is also pony rides and a petty zoon....though we were never able to find them! All in all...it turned out to be a great day!

Daddy kisses

To help Despina remember Tim part of her bedtime routine is to kiss a picture of him Good Night. When you ask her, "Where's Daddy?", she even points to the frame! Its really cute to see.

Trick or Treat!

Despina as a Cheerleader
My friend Michelle gave Despina her first piece of candy....a lollipop. Despina loved it too!

We went Trick or Treating with my friend Lita and her daughters, Isabella and Amelia. We had a lot of fun and there were TONS of kids out!
