Bella's Sixth Birthday Video

In honor of our little Angel's sixth birthday... below is a quick look back at the past year.

Happy Birthday Luau!

Last Saturday we celebrated Bella's 6th birthday in style.... a Hawaiian Luau! This was the first "girl only" party for Bella... and the first "no parents or nannies" party... a big milestone in the life of little ones here in Jakarta.

Cupcakes... by Icha. Taste even better than they look.


The calm before the storm... Mark enjoys a cup of coffee and the morning paper before the kids arrive.


Snowcones! Who wants a snowcone?


Bella and Mariska enjoy painting their Hawaiian pictures.


Time to learn the Hula!


The girls show off their new skills.


The fashion queens smile... just before time to sing happy birthday.


Happy Birthday Bella! We love you.

Jacob Amusing Himself

Jake may be the happiest 2 year old in the world... always a smile on his face! Check him out amusing himself the other night on our bed.

Halloween!

Last Sunday we celebrated this fun holiday by carving a couple of pumpkins! It was Jake's first time... and we had a great time.

We sat on our front porch and went to town with a knife and a big spoon.


Cleary Jake was having fun!


Almost done...


Pumpkins with candles... and a nice little pose from Bella!


Halloween night in Jakarta... we got no trick or treaters... but a good night all the way around.
