Baseball Practice
Jiang Lei likes baseball practive because he plays with other kids and he gets a treat at the end. He isn't really interested in actually playing the game. (1) Here he is playing his fielder position (he is usually laying down on the grass). (2) He is getting instructions in batting - very patient coach. (3) Here he is on 2nd base (sitting down).

Summer
Its summer vacation and the kids are having fun! Every night there is some different configuration of sleeping in one or the other's room. They don't always get to sleep early but they are definately enjoying it.
It must be summer because Daddy is golfing at a beautiful spot along the lake.
Friends are over to visit and go to the amusement park together. They put on a dress up show for the parents.
Here is Ji Ji inline skating on the sidewalk in front of our house. And some of the neighborhood kids on the playset in our backyard. Today we set up the inflatable pool in the yard and so the kids will play there all summer. Our back yard is a kid magnet.

Cute kid stories
I guess we are always telling Jiang Lei that he pours too much juice or he puts too much salt on his food. Yesterday when I asked him how much rice he wanted he said "Mommy, I want too much."
Nora and Ji Ji have been bugging us to take them to a restaurant called "Dog and Suds". Last night in the car, Ji Ji asked if we could go to "Dog and Stein's" and then Nora corrected her as she said the restaurant was called "Dog and Studs".
The girls kept asking why Mom and Dad were laughing .....

Party House and The Wiggles
We are the party house! Every weekend we have been having people over to see the house, many to repay them for their generousity when we have come to town over the last 9 years. It has been a lot of fun and and an excellent excuse for not getting too much done! We had the Grandparents over last weekend and here they are with the kids.
The Wiggles were at our local amusement park and though I was hesitant to face the crowds, we went to see them. It wasn't bad at all. We didn't wait in any lines and we were very close. First they drove through the park in their car and then they put on a show.
The show was great. They were really hamming it up and you could tell they were having fun with it. Here is Jeff sleeping. Jiang Lei doesn't know the Wiggles but he knows to yell "Wake Up Jeff" and he was able to do it with the crowd often through the show and he loved it! I'm not too sure about that new Wiggle, Jeff had gray hair and Murray looked old (we remember them best 6 years ago), but it was still fun for us and for the kids.
Ji Ji and Jiang Lei went down to the front with all of the kids to get a closer look. You can see them on the right of the camera. Ji Ji is watching the show and Jiang Lei is in the red shirt.
JL update
This weekend, Jiang Lei replied "o my gosh" to something I said and I just froze. I was surprised he was using that expression and using it correctly. Now that he got a reaction out of me he is using it all of the time. The next day he told me something was "upside down" and I said where did you learn that word? He has been doing Kumon reading with Mark (looking at pictures and repeating the words) and that was one of his words last week. His english is progressing fast, need to work on his pronounciation. He has been with us 4 months.
