They are so adorable. Funny how parents cant wait for their kids to "give them" grandchildren! My mom has pretty much appropriated the bubbs - he her only grandchild. So we got skype and both of us have cameras so she can watch him growing up.

The sign language is ASL (American Sign Language) - its a real language. I doubt we'll ever become really proficient, what we are teaching him are only a few words at a time. But we've had to learn it alongside him, so that's something new for us, fantastic!

Hey, you never know, your small idea of HK might become a reality.

I'm also surprised that you only speak English.

You seem so bright and intelligent to me.

I would have guessed you speak many languages.

Well..... - I guess the bubbs will do that for you. In a few years.

As a good Son should.

I see big good things ahead for your Son.

Truly, Debbie.

How is the weather in Hong Kong in November?

I've been looking at some travel packages... Japan seems attractive....

So I might be in your area in November.

Not sure yet.

languages - I guess that's what comes of being mixed (up) and using only one language at home! My brain is not wired for languages. grrrrr.

November is the best time to be in HK actually, weather wise. You'll miss the humidity of summer and the rain and typhoons of july-september. Nov-Dec is beautiful in HK, slowly going into winter, but I'm sure our winter will be like summer for you.

Japan is a very very popular tourist destination from HK too. I'm sure you'll love it. Dyu like Japanese food?

hear hear November is good.

We're also trying to teach the girls signing, a bit difficult cause my mum and helper keep forgetting to reinforce the signs! However they've finally learnt "finished" hahahahaha

Not fussy about Japanese food, per se.

I eat mostly grains, vegetables, fruits and nuts.

Seafood makes me puke.

Meat is stinky, and dairy is only for babies of the species.

Hi, Larree..!! - How the heck are you....?

Wanna come meet me and Mike and Chris and Debbie in Hong Kong in November...???

Thanks Larree!! You probably thought Drooly was talking about something else....... hahahahha

OK here's a recent pic of me making them laugh (just by pulling out a camera!):

Woot.

You have a great eye for colour and composition in your photos, Chris.

Colourful Girl that you are.....

That picture of your Girls is loaded with life, colour, and dynamics......

Enough to bring a smile to almost any face....

Good work, kidda....!

More, please...

hahaha.....

Thanks, Dearie........

Actually....

I just looked at that picture again....

And I'm sure it will brighten the day of all who see it. Even if only for a few seconds.

As a matter of fact? It's so cool?

I will be so bold as to repeat it:

Ha.......! - Lovely.

Make more babies, please.

The World needs More of Babies with good Mums.

Like you.

Bon Courage, Mademoiselle......

You're doing a superb job so far....

So have a banana..... ~~~~~~~>

No rush. I know how overloaded you must be. Been there.

But for now, that last picture of your girls is enough to keep me (and many others....) smiling for weeks....

None of my business, I don't want to patronize.... - but one of the biggest parts of being a good Mum is not wearing yourself out.

Don't feel guilty if you need to take some time off and just rest. Sometimes that's the best thing you can do for the Girls.

I've seen it happen where new Mothers are so totally devoted to their kids that they just wear themselves thin, trying to do the best for the babies.

That's all well-intended, but your first priority is to be rested, in shape, happy, healthy, and positive. For Them.

Anyways. None of my business. You're doing Great.....

Just don't forget about Yourself in that whirlwind of love for your babies....

Have another banana. It will help keep you in shape..~~~~>

Well, Chloe and Ashley will be learning to walk soon....

To give you a little preview, here's a video of my sister Kathy (you know her, lovely girl..) learning to walk.....

My Dad took the video. Around 40 years ago. I edited, added sound, and YouTubed it recently. I also do a short cameo at the end, where I hoist her up, then hand her to Mom......

Hope it gives you a giggle.....

Edit: - I tried to embed it earlier... - I think this might work....

[youtube]<object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Wf9HmqWrDMY"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Wf9HmqWrDMY" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object>[/youtube]

Bleh. I give up.

Here's the link:http://youtube.com/watch?v=Wf9HmqWrDMY
