Chillin’ the Chilly Days Away

We spent much of our time together just hanging around, chasing E (who ran circles around everyone – clearly the boy will be made an offer to star as the new Energizer Bunny in those commercials), watching movies or MTV’s Jersey Shore (Uncle Su’s new guilty pleasure, we’re certain – and we know you still HATE the band Evanescence), family stretch-pilates/yoga sessions, chasing E (who climbed atop furniture more times than we can count), napping (grab your blanky), shopping (let’s find some good deals), chasing E (who bashed the television more times than we could count), playing poker (uhhhhhh, Helenka, are you sure that was your first time playin – she cleaned out the bank), listening to Uncle Su strum the guitar, and eating.

Here are some shots from those family moments:
E found Appaiah's computer and decided to play around.

E enjoyed playing Monkey-in-the-Middle (ground version) with his new bus -- we'd zoom it by him and he'd chase it.

The whole family did some pilates-yoga stretching and E acted as our teacher - clearly helping many of us perfect our postures.

E: 'Appaiah, you need to put a little back into it - here, I'll show you!'

E: 'Auntie H - I said like a bridge - like a bridge!'

E: 'Avaya, you almost have it, but you need to bend these arms a bit more.'

Cuddling the junior yoga instructor!

E gettin' ready to climb the walls.

Snack time for the growing boy!
