October round up

It has been a busy month. Lots of growing, developing, talking, tantruming, sibling fighting and loving:)). October and November are probably our favourite months of the year here in Taiwan ..the weather is sooo nice as we head into fall and before it gets really chilly in January/February. That means lots of outside time!!!! Thanks to Dora and Diego both kids are wandering around with the odd Spanish phrase or word...Between the English, Chinese and Spanish i have to listen carefully to follow:))

Riding bikes round the nearby school.



The other day i was in the kitchen and two little people went running passed with arms full of toys...when i came around the corner there they were. Later a small truck was used to ferry things to and fro from the chair.

Maya with her dolls..

Another of D's puzzles.

At our favourite park (with the starbucks:))








At the Jazz festival..at this point someone had walked past and given Dylan a balloon but it was their last one and they did not have one for Maya. We promised to find one for her soon..she kept saying "Where's Maya's balloon?" We did get one just after this :)
We had a really nice place to sit at the first stage.






Dylan up on dad's shoulders so he could see was imitating the Saxophone player with his balloon stick...He loved listening to the wind instruments.

There is a new grassy area next to the Park Lane department store. What is a grassy hill if you don't roll down it?..of course that is not necessarily done here:) We got a few strange looks.

And then the girl on the left started joining in...

Maya didn't want to do more than one roll but loved running after Dylan and giving him a push..here he is heading around and almost back up the hill...notice the couple on the left having a good giggle and the guy with the camera was snapping away:)

On the second day after stopping at the two smaller stages we spent some time listening to the evening big band act warming up...the actual show was a bit late for our little guys.








Having a cooking, making tea session.

At the Wen xin park this weekend. The weather was gorgeous.



Up at Metropolitan Park with the ducks and turtles.

Maya watching the kites.
