So before the Bs left for the good 'ole USA, we had 1 final beach afternoon together. They'd found a sweet beach with huge sand dunes that the boys could jump in & around...of course we had to "help" them jump by joining in the fun :)
Here's our 5 boys enjoying some homemade ice cream & cookies (thanks to Mama J!) before we head out...

A haircut was in order for Sai although this is probably the only 5 secs he was completely still...probably because he just grabbed the hairdresser's water bottle.

There the culprit was just standing there after knocking my bike over...the nerve.<br /><a href="http://i232.photobucket.com/albums/ee182/drummondduo/Blogger/April%2010/bikeknockover.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://i232.photobucket.com/albums/ee182/drummondduo/Blogger/April%2010/bikeknockover.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br />J bought a sander for our newly built porch. Lij decided the box was a much more fun place to drink his bottle than the floor...he's balancing on the edge of the box actually 'cuz he couldn't fit down in it ;)<br /><a href="http://i232.photobucket.com/albums/ee182/drummondduo/Blogger/April%2010/botelboxfun.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://i232.photobucket.com/albums/ee182/drummondduo/Blogger/April%2010/botelboxfun.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a>\<br /><a href="http://i232.photobucket.com/albums/ee182/drummondduo/Blogger/April%2010/botel.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://i232.photobucket.com/albums/ee182/drummondduo/Blogger/April%2010/botel.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a href="http://i232.photobucket.com/albums/ee182/drummondduo/Blogger/April%2010/boxbotelfun.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://i232.photobucket.com/albums/ee182/drummondduo/Blogger/April%2010/boxbotelfun.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br />Our next door neighbor (Gilang) is just learning how to read which is so fun. Lij loves looking at the pictures in books so they make a good pair. This was their rest break after taking the cushions of the couch to flip around on the floor! <br /><a href="http://i232.photobucket.com/albums/ee182/drummondduo/Blogger/April%2010/gilangread-1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://i232.photobucket.com/albums/ee182/drummondduo/Blogger/April%2010/gilangread-1.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a href="http://i232.photobucket.com/albums/ee182/drummondduo/Blogger/April%2010/readwgilang.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://i232.photobucket.com/albums/ee182/drummondduo/Blogger/April%2010/readwgilang.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br />Last but certainly not least, Jah freeing himself from everything that binds him...<br /><a href="http://i232.photobucket.com/albums/ee182/drummondduo/Blogger/April%2010/croppednakedboyedited.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 216px; height: 320px;" src="http://i232.photobucket.com/albums/ee182/drummondduo/Blogger/April%2010/croppednakedboyedited.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a>J & Ehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14632241997186151832noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4005025741277830567.post-49508244353530139762010-04-04T01:07:00.002-07:002010-04-04T01:39:09.622-07:00Getaway!While in Bandung our friends G & M watched 'Lij for a night so we could have our 1st getaway in over a year...was so fun to celebrate being away for a bit :)<br /><br />When we first got there we went around & took a bunch a pix while we checked out the beautiful hotel - here's Elissa on the marble staircase:<br /><a href="http://i232.photobucket.com/albums/ee182/drummondduo/Blogger/Nov%2009/stair.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://i232.photobucket.com/albums/ee182/drummondduo/Blogger/Nov%2009/stair.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br />Us lounging...<br /><a href="http://i232.photobucket.com/albums/ee182/drummondduo/Blogger/Nov%2009/jloungin.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://i232.photobucket.com/albums/ee182/drummondduo/Blogger/Nov%2009/jloungin.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a href="http://i232.photobucket.com/albums/ee182/drummondduo/Blogger/Nov%2009/loungin.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://i232.photobucket.com/albums/ee182/drummondduo/Blogger/Nov%2009/loungin.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br />Even bought a brownie at the hotel bakery - it's so hard to find desserts in Asia like we have stateside but since this was a western hotel, bingo!
