My friend biked across America

Hey so as the subject says, my friend biked all the way across America for this cause.  It was an amazing feat.  He also got a spot done on him for FOX news.  His two beautiful half Korean daughters heard about the National debt at school and came home really concerned about it.  He took it to heart and decided to try his best to raise awareness of it.  He had never biked before but now after doing this in 8 weeks he loves it and is going to continue biking.  He started in San Fran and ended in New York.  Go to his website and read more.  Here is the clip for the Fox News clip

and then go to his website to take this survey.

Mila's Baby Blessing

We blessed Mila today at an opportune time when nearly all of the
priesthood holders in Alma's family were in town. She was an angel as
always (with a fitting dress from Alma's sister). Here's to the next
84.2 years!

Two weeks with Mila

Hi everyone,

Just posted some more pics of Mila. The days have flown by (not the nights) and I can't believe she's already over two weeks old. We had a wonderful first week at home with Tom on paternity leave. It was followed by a way too tiresome week-end. We partied at my high school's fair and Asia was in our town's dance recital 3 times that week-end (we took turns going to be there for all three shows). So our second week we all had sleep to catch up on, and Tom was back at work. But we managed okay. Our amazing Romanian neighbor across the hall made us dinner 4 times that week.

This past week-end Tom and Evan went to the Fathers/Sons camp-out (they came home to sleep though, even though I am pretty sure Tom would have slept better on the hard ground than in our room with Mila) and we girls had a Barbie 12 Dancing Princesses movie night. Saturday, we went to a family pool party/bbq at a local Geneva park. Sunday we all woke up with cough and colds, except for Mila. Poor Tom seems to have had it the worst, he stayed home from work today (hurray for me, no trekking around 3 kids while trying to do school drop-off and laundry downstairs).

Mila is wonderful and, being the only one to not get sick, she's a healthy little one. She is Mila-tant about eating at exactly every 3 hours, and is quickly outgrowing the tiny (for me) baby she was. She makes duck noises all night long but is still a good little sleeper. She's figured out wanting to be held all the time, but that's okay. She still looks more like Evan than Asia to me, mostly because of her cheeks and darker skin. The kids love her. Asia loves to put stuff around her, like toys and handbags. Evan loves to ask me if he can hold her right when she's about to eat or fall asleep. It's been a great two weeks at home.

We made a slight change to Mila's name. Her full name is Emilia Alma, but we'll call her Mila (pronounced Mee-lah for those still wondering). In the days getting to know her, it seemed like the full name Emilia (Spanish/Italian for Emily, meaning "to emulate") was more for her.

Bisous to all,

Alma

Life with Mila - Day 2

Here's some pics from Saturday, when the kids came to meet their "baby of a sister," as Evan says. 

Happy Birthsday!

Our little Mila Alma was born last night at 9:49 on her mom's birthday, in her mom's hospital. Both are doing well.

If you aliked that . .

Were we also both alike enough to park in this hyper-ultra-uber-cool automatic parking garage at castelo!?!

Hiatt Minds Think Eerily Alike

A little de ja vu...Hope you found the treasure he left for you!

For you, Ben

Ha ha so funny. The boys DID use that urinol. And the funny thing is that Tom had me take a picture saying, "We have to take a picture for Ben, you know he'll get a kick out of it." Right after I took the first picture, Tom went walking into the urinol and didn't notice the bar that hit Evan just at his neck. So then Tom went in and used it himself. When Asia realized what was going on, she was quite disgusted.

Trip to Portugal

Here's a slideshow of our Portugal pictures. We were there this past week visiting my sister Agnes and her family, the main event being their third baby's christening. Our flight over actually got canceled because of the volcano ash cloud so we went 4 days late and flew in just in time for the christening. We spent the first week-end in a town in the countryside where my brother-in-law's family have a home and farm. And then the rest of the week in Lisbon, which is a beautiful city with so much to do and see. We had a great time running around sight-seeing, as well as relaxing and enjoying the sun and beach.

Penelope Lucille Robertson

Hello Family just in case someone did'nt get my text message about Penelope or if you are dying to see more pictures of her I wanted to indulge you. Penelope Lucille Robertson was born on 3/23/2010 at 1:45am, she weighed 9 lbs 2 oz and was 20" long. She and I are doing very well and Cory is a great dad. We are having so much fun with her and motherhood so far is way more fun than I expected. We love you all and hope in time that everyone can meet Penelope!

Geneva auto show

Every March Geneva turns into this wildly popular and crowded (awful
traffic) city for two weeks when it hosts the Auto Show. Whether
you're Kia or Bugatti, you're exhibiting. We decided to go Saturday
morning for kicks. It was crazy crowded but the kids still had a great
time trying out the backseats of the cars. Asia found a couple
pink/purple dream cars, like this Bentley. What's funny is that the
most kid-friendly brand was Smart, even though a family could never
actually use one of their cars. The representative there wanted to
take a picture of all of us in one of the Smarts.

Florida Christmas

We had a great Christmas in Florida
with Cory's family.  We saw manatees, gators, Disney,
Miami, everglades, airboats, and the east, west, and south
beaches.  For Sunday's worship we just followed this
car around all day.  We hope everyone enjoyed their
holidays!
