Mission Accomplished!

No, this is not about some banner on an aircraft carrier ... or Obama's effort to stabilize the economy. It's about #5 in Nancy's series of labors to make quilts for each of the grandkids (this one is Micah's). - rw

With only 10 days before we head back to OR I spent most of the weekend working on Micah's quilt. Deadlines are good motivation for me - although I wanted to finish this quilt a year ago. Doug and Tracy have plans for one for Rania - so I still have some quilting to do. - Nancy

Mothers' Day at Chilis!

Yep, Chilis Restaurant at KLCC was the venue for eldest son Doug taking his Mom out to dinner on Mothers' Day. But that wasn't all. All three siblings, Doug, Mark and Tasha, teamed-up to buy Mom Nance a very spectacular bouquet of flowers that is now gracing our dining room table. (Sorry about Reeve being invisible in the picture above! He really was with us ...)

On Mothers' Day both Gabi and Rania were very proud of their new shoes -- sandals that had shiny sequins all over them!

Shortly before Mothers' Day on May 10th, the full moon was beautiful here in KL -- so I took the picture (below)early one morning from our laundry room while the moon was above the Petronas twin towers. - rw

P.S. on Mommy & Daddy Leaving Town

Leave it to "Mom Nance" to come up with projects to occupy the time for Reeve, Gabi and Rania while their parents were touring Angkor Wat ... This was a kit purchased at a local bookstore that involved making small plaster-of-paris dinosaurs, embedding a magnet in the back, and painting them so that they could be used as magnets on the fridge. Project successful! - rw

When Mommy and Daddy Leave Town ...

... guess who gets to keep the kids? (While Doug and Tracy were off on a long week-end to Siem Reap [Angkor Wat], we linked-up with Brian Inskeep and kids to visit the aquarium at KLCC.)

Could it actually be possible that one kid is tired? ...

Because of the timing of our visit (we got there at 11 a.m. when they opened), we were able to see two different fish-feeding times. In one of them, a diver enters the tank with a bucket of food and spends quite a bit of time feeding the huge turtles, manta rays and other fish.


One of the classic pictures we took was of "Rania and Nemo." (Click on picture to enlarge.)
Following the visit to the aquarium, we made our way to Chilis for lunch, right there in KLCC. A long wait for our food taxed the patience of all, but we enjoyed the food and made it home Friday afternoon in time for long naps.
Other events so far in the week-end involved times on the computer, a Friday night "movie night" at our place, Saturday morning T-ball for Reeve, and a visit to the Inskeeps for swimming and lunch at mid-day. - rw
