quotes and a few photos from Dec 2019 and Feb 2020

New plans for the blog.  In addition to the random photo when I think of it, I want to start jotting down some of the awesome things Kadin says and does.  As with all kids, he has such a fresh way to look at things!  May also post photos of some of his artwork since it's impossible to keep all of it.

December 15, 2019, in the car:  
K – Mom, did you know there is 28th grade?  It's where the really really big kids are.
J – Really?  And is it in your school?
K – Noooo, it's really far away.
J – Where is it?
K – Ummm, it's in Hawaii!
J – Really? Hmm.  Kadin, do you know where Hawaii is?
K – Yes.  You know, there's Hawaii… and… Saturn and Jupiter… and Pluto.  Hawaii is on Pluto!
J – Oh, is it hot there or cold?
K – It's really cold there.

In honor of all of our spruce trees who are dying from the Spruce Bark Beetle (due to warmer temps up here), I made a 3D cardboard Christmas tree for us this year (2019).

Second year we did the Gingerbread House Workshop at the Flying Squirrel Bakery.  Last year we made a train.  This year, we made an A-Frame house.  And Kadin ate A LOT of very stale candy!

Feb 19, 2020, at home:  

K – Mom, Kings are the rulers of everything.

J – Really?  And do you know, does the United States have a king?

K – No.

J – So, who rules in the United States?

K – The moms rule!

J - you got that right!

K - But did you know who rules in Hawaii?  The king!

K - Did you know how many kings are in Hawaii?  100 or 51,090.

quick post of 2019 and a bit of January 2020

I'm mostly just posting these quickly and in random order.  Recap of 2019...

January 26 - February 9, 2019 – 4 years 7 months: Barra de Potosí, Mexico, Part 2

The best quote…. after I had my hair braided with cornrows…

Me:  Te gusta mi pelo así, Kadito?  (Do you like my new hair style Kadito?)
Kadito:  No.
Me:  No? Porque?
Kadito:  Porque mis amigos in Miss Charity's class van a laugh at me.
Me: Porque?
Kadito:  Porque you are so beautiful.

Said to me in the bathroom at Chula Vida, the night of the Super Bowl, January 2019

Finishing up 2018: August 15 - December 31, 2018 (4 1/2 years old)

OK, I'm finally finishing up 2018…

Kadin and Baiba in Rehobeth on the kiddy rides - August 2018

Kadin visits his cousin Maddox - August 2018

We took the flag-stop train to a pretty camping spot along a river.  Nice fall camping trip (September).

Kadin's first school picture - Preschool

Yes, he is repetitively stabbing his pumpkin with knives.  No, I am not overly worried about this.  :-)

Kadin all dressed up for Suzy and Kassie's wedding in November.  This is one of the few photos when he wasn't wearing a mask due to all of the smoke from the Paradise Fires.

Feliz Navidad mi amor
