Max at 4 months

Gabrielle LOVES Max. She smothers him with kisses-literally

The girls had so much fun and it was such a nice relaxing time for me with little Max

I love this picture because it shows kids in the perfect state: tired because they played hard all day, sun kissed skin, freshly bathed, sitting quietly engrossed in a show with bedtime in sight-aahhh summer

Newport in August

Newport Beach August 2009. My ideal family vacation.

Is anyone there???

I have been off the blogging bandwagon for some time now and I'm thinking of hopping back on. At this point there may be no one who even sees this, but I want it for journaling purposes. I'm not going to retrace the last 7 months so I will recap.

Max is 8 months old and so cute and precious. He is my only kid who lets me rock him in the cradling position and just chills and stares at me, the other 2 would never have stood for that, they'd be clawing and arching like crazy!

Cal is 3 1/2. I don't know how to describe him-unique, lover of all things technical (computers, phones, cameras) loves letters, hilarious, sensitive, loud-very loud. I love having conversations with him. His day pretty much consists of coming with me to the gym where he gets to play with his friends, playing the wii, anticipating Luke's safe return from work, and some fighting with Gabrielle (with some eating and playing mixed in).

Gabrielle started kindergarten this year at Oak Chan Elementary! She loves it. I keep waiting for the novelty to wear off, but it hasn't. I'll add more detail as I go-Welcome back!

Kid's discoveries

While I was posting on here Gabrielle noticed the baby bouncing around on the right and asked if the baby in my belly was naked. When I told her yes she couldn't believe it. Struck with pure giddyness she was laughing and wanting an explanation. She is worried about the baby's bum touching my belly. How would it be to learn new and interesting facts on a daily basis?

Mud fun!

Our backyard doesn't exactly drain well we've discovered-it makes for great mud play. Yes that is a pacifier in Cal's mouth. He doesn't usually have it during the day except for his nap and now I don't have to feel bad about it because a speech therapist told my sister that it's fine up until 3. So he will be hating life in about 6 months.
