End of summer days

Back to school time! Jake starts pre-K this year. he is very excited to go back to school and see his friends again. Luckily his best little friend Wesley is in his class. all the other kids from last year are in the other class.
After the first 2 days of school I was told that he serenaded the class with Born in the USA. I was also told he is very kind and helpful. And... he told his teacher that he is not allowed to sit against the wall in the bathroom line because last year he played with the string and " I dont trust myself not to play with it again".

In case you were in doubt, Jake loves his kitten Mustang

 

 

Breakfast JAKE pancakes!

1: She is so cute

2: anyone out there willing to teach a mom how to do her daughter's hair?

 

I dont thinks she likes her hair either

We went to the Botanical Gardens. they have a couple days a week that you can ride bikes through the paths. They also have a great kids area. So much fun!

I love the exaggerated baby walk!

Oh, my heart....

Fun birthday

I turned 33 today--time sure does fly.

Had a great day with the family. We went to Ft. Monroe which is an old Army fort dating back to 1607.

Here are some pics

Oh...we got a new kitten. Meet Mustang (P51 Mustang to be exact)

 

Happy 33rd to me!

Baby Girl is 1

Gabriella is now a year old. wow.

She says a couple words:

Dada
Mama


She knows her hair, head, ears, nose and belly

Her 1 year stats:

The Necklace Daddy gave Gabi

Jake showing Gabi how its done!

 

She is not walking yet but will take about 5 steps and will walk holding onto hands. Anyday I expect her to take off

She loves the water-- bath time, pool or beach. She is more of a daredevil then Jake ever was. we have caught her on top of the tv stand, standing on toys, climbing stairs. She will make a bee line for the ocean and go right in if you are not watching.

Auntie Erica came back from Singapore and we got to spend a couple days with her and Gangi!

 

She loves big brother Jake and taking rides in his jeep.

Auntie Erica brought the Kids back little Chinese outfits. Gabi was not so sure but Jake was Rockin' his!
