Birthday and more

Today (June 29) is Olivia's actual birthday.  We had a nice party with plenty of friends.  Together Michele and I were somehow able to get a likeness of Barney onto the cake...  

Our friend Mylene and her daughter Yannah bought Olivia some sweet jelly shoes.  They have made quite the comeback here in the Philippines.  I'm not sure about America... I remember when my sister wore these in Jr High.  I might need to find some of these bad boys in a size 11...

In other news, Michele found Abby sleeping with her Santa hat last night.  We're not always certain what's going on in that head...

Finally, have you ever noticed this before, or am I the only one?...

Yesterday we celebrated Olivia's 2nd birthday (early).  We have found a sweet playland for the kids, and we went with our good friends the Manthe's.  Josh and Val came to the Philippines at the same time we did a few years ago.  We have gotten very close to them and their two girls, Mackenzie and Bella.  Today Val and the girls went home to the States for almost a year, and Josh leaves next month.  We are really going to miss them!  Michele is crying already.  Anyway, here are a few pictures from the fun and excitement...

In other news, Abby and I recently met RJ Jacinto, a famous Filipino guitarist.  He's been around since the 60's, and is considered the 'Eric Clapton' of the Philippines.  You can see that Abby is impressed.  I bought a guitar that he was auctioning on the radio.  Anyway, just pictures this time.  I will provide you with profound insight later.
