Isa and David Birthdays (June 2009)

Our little girl is one! I can't believe how quickly the year went by, not to mention David turning three!!! I know that this is way behind, but I need to work on getting caught up. We had a great little get together in June for our little ones. We will see how long we will be able to combine their parties, but for now it works. A few friends came over, we BBQ, played baseball, and enjoyed cake, good times, only people missing were our family and friends from CA.

Grandpa Keith and Grandma Mary visit (May 2009)


At the end of May we had a wonderful visit with Grandpa Keith and Grandma Mary, it was so nice to see them. David was so surprised to have them here, "at David's house", as he calls our home. He would wake up in the morning and from his nap really excited that they were still here. We were all so happy to have family visiting, during nice weather. We were able to play outside and enjoy the sunshine (well, when it wasn't raining :) Of course we ate yummy food and even went to a local farm. We miss them so much and are looking forward to August. David misses his playmate, Grandpa Keith!

David's First Graduation (May 2009)

David has completed his first year of Toddler's Morning Out, a little preschool he attended since last summer. He absolutely loved going to school (only three mornings a week). TMO helped him play better with others, share, take turns and socialize without me. What a wonderful program, we miss it so much already (looking forward to the July TMO summer camp). We are so grateful for all the hard work his teachers Roz and Sarah put in all year with the kids. There was a small "graduation" circle-time on their last day, parents were invited to join for their final circle. It was great to see how much David has grown and become more independent. Thanks TMO!!!

Is it spring yet? (April and May 2009)

Fun times in the new stroller, kicked off spring for us!


Just when you thought it was spring, you are hit with a super cold day, David still wants to be outside, especially since he learned to ride his tricycle.
In May David started his first soccer class! He loved it,
youngest kid, but kept up with even the 5 year olds :)
