So last weekend was a long weekend with MLK Day. We had a relaxing weekend home. On Friday, we returned to the Korean restaurant that we visited the night I gave birth to Lukas. We haven't returned in almost a year even though we liked it. It was a good time with the Banerjees, Schneiders, and Tachikis. It was kind of funny because we had a such a long table to accommodate all the kids and parents (8 adults and 6 kids). The women and children were seated in the middle of the table while the dads flanked the ends. Things have definitely changed in the last 5 years!

I also got to visit Mike and Michelle's new baby Isabella on Saturday. Lukas and Edwin didn't get to meet her because they were both sick. She was so tiny and light. I can't believe that Lukas was the same size only 10 months ago.

On Monday, we got to watch Avatar. We still had the nanny for the day since the other family had to work, so we decided to go to see it. We wanted to see it on IMAX at the Bay St. Theatre, but the tickets sold out while I was in line. Then, the 3-D version also sold out while I was in line. We were very disappointed, but then we realized that the Alameda Theatre also had it playing in 3-D. I would highly recommend it. Very entertaining and it deserves all the awards it has won. We've been very lucky that both movies we have seen in theatres lately were very good.

Another quick Lukas update, as we were leaving the house this morning, we think that Lukas was trying to say "Bye-Bye" to us. It sounded more like "Ba Ba", but it occurred as we were leaving and he said it twice. He's pretty good at saying "Ma Ma" and "Da Da" so maybe he's starting to try to speak. He started clapping last week and can also raise his arms when I say "Arms up!" Amazing that he can understand already. They do say that kids absorb information like sponges.
