Cooking with Tita...

Our last week in our condo... we sure do have a lot going on and anticipating all the last... but here is one that we will miss greatly... Tita... what will we do without Tita... she has really become a member of our family and none of us are really talking about it... we know the time is coming that we have to say goodbye but until then we are going to get a lot of Tita time, Tita food and just plain Tita.  Tita knows my love for cooking (that does not exist) so she has taken it upon herself to teach Pierce how to cook so he can take care of mommy and daddy in Korea... here are some pics of them making some of Tita's famous flax seed bread.
 

 

 

 

For Sale...

One day this month I came home to a garage flat sale put on by Pierce and Tita.  Now a love for Garage Sales runs deep in our family (starting with ViVi and Grandad) and Pierce has only experienced the real deal when he was a baby back in Texas... but I guess it stuck with him.

Not sure if you can see it but there is a sign that says... Welcome to Pierce's shop... and Pierce in the background ready for the first customer...and don't forget the arrows on the floor...


Items for sale... each labeled with a price.


I just don't understand how Buzz could be $20 and my antique stool could be $2... who did the pricing?



Even the library books were on sale but if sold they would not cover the late fees.


One happy owner for the shop... with his crazy hair and all...

On the workbench is the fake money I was allowed to borrow just in case I did not have any... HE HE HE

And here is the check out... I think I bought everything...

Another fun day inside...

What was Pierce doing?

While the cats are away the mouse will play... and He sure did.  We never had to worry bc Pierce was in good hands while we were away. He stayed with Tita and visited with friends during the day. And in between Tita kept him busy exploring Singapore... First stop the Civil Defense Museum.

Man this boy poses for Tita... cute!




In the MRT station... where does he get this from ???




Back at home playing with his Armies... Tita bought him new Armies bc mommy and daddy were away.

This pic was taken by Audrey's parents when they took him to eat Baby Back Ribs after church... still happy...

He is really having fun now...

We had three request for Tita while we were away... keep him safe, love him like your own and get his hair cut PLEASE... here is the new improved Pierce with blue hair.

We sure were very happy parents when we got to wrap our arms around him when we got home.  A cute story about when we left.  I was very sad about leaving him behind and was trying not to cry... I asked Pierce if he would come inside my suitcase and he said no bc he would miss his toys.  And then he said it is ok mom... he then took my hand and kiss the inside of my hand and then said when you miss me put your hand on your cheek and say "Pierce loves me, Pierce loves me".  I almost lost it... but held it together and said ok I will and you do the same and then I kissed the inside of his hand.  We did the same with daddy and walked out saying "pierce loves me Pierce loves me".  Daddy and I used that technique all weekend and it really worked.  When we got home Pierce asked me about an hour after we walked in the door... did you say "pierce loves me, pierce loves me" and I said you better believe it.  I then asked him where he learned that and he said in a book that he read at school.  Just another reason why I love school... sweet boy.

Cooking with Tita!

This is Tita's (also known as Mary) first blog entry... she is a new addition to our home and we love having her with us.... there is a lot of cooking going on the kitchen and Pierce wants to be a part of it all the time. Here is Tita and Pierce baking cookies... so many smiles.

I am sure there will be more baking and more pics of Tita and Pierce. And just in case you were wondering the cookies were awesome and we can't wait until the next batch.
