my mermaid

yesterday nadia, amelia and i took the kids to an aquatic park in edmond (where victor and i used to live). the kiddie area was big with water that was as shallow as aliyah's ankles and as deep as her waist: just perfect. there were slides and water shooting, spraying, splashing and pouring from every direction. aliyah had such a good time playing, sliding, bobbing, splashing.... it was a slice of heaven on earth for her.

a cool spot

why do we looooove going to barnes & noble?















for the coffee?
















for the books?
















for the wicked train set. oh yeeeeah.

the backyard

because of the boiling heat, especially during the first week we were here, aliyah's spent much of her time indoors. however, in the mornings, evenings and, recently on less scorching days, we go in the backyard and play with water.

back with the cousins

aliyah has been so lucky this year; this is her fourth time to see her cousins since last september. now that we're in oklahoma, she gets to stay under the same roof with her cousins and play with them every day... if only she always had it this good. :)















loving the green grass. :)
