My child

For those of you who do not know my daughter very well, these pictures tell it all. We definitely have a lot of fun with her but she keeps us on our toes.

She can fly.




Cheese.




Laker fan.

Enjoying summer evenings.

The evening was so nice tonight that we walked over to the park and hung out. I love the summer nights in Pasadena. The days may be scorching but the evenings are beautiful.

I wish I could join my sister.




Im still too small but soon I will be out there with my sister.

Descanso Gardens

Today was Tamara's first day at "Toddler Trek with Acorn Bear" at Descanso Gardens. She had such a great time. The day starts off with a story, then a craft and then a hike through the gardens. Today's theme was flowers. Tamara enjoyed looking for each station and enjoying all the beautiful smells.






What beautiful roses.




Ahhh, they smell so good.




Her new pose.




To our surprise, Tamara's infancy friend "Cameron" (on right) was also in the class.




Cameron and Tamara enjoying the fish.

Julianna's Baptism

Today we celebrated a very special event in Julianna's life, her baptism. The day was so hot but the event turned out so nice. The ceremony was beautiful and the party afterwards was a lot of fun despite the heat. We even had a duo perform for a few hours and they did a great job. We are very grateful for the family and close friends who came and celebrated this day with us and our family.

Skirball

Today we took Tamara and Julianna to the Skirball museum to check out the Noah's ark exhibit. She LOVED it! We had some difficulty getting her to go home but overall we all had a great time.

Introductions.




Enjoying the exhibits.




Learning about water.




My girls.



She loves to climb.

Happy Birthday Connor

We spent the morning celebrating Connor's 4th birthday at Griffith Park. Tamara LOVED the pony rides and the train ride. The day was very hot but we had a really nice time with the Tao's.

She loved the ponys.




So relaxed.




The kids.




Can we go again?




One more time!




Train ride... Connor is one lucky dude.




Madeline is so big now, she can ride by herself.



Until next time.

She is growing fast.

My little girl will be 3 months this Friday. How time flies. Although I dont want her to grow up too fast, I cant wait for her personality to come out. So far Julianna......smiles, coos, sleeps from midnight to 6:00 in the morning (then eats and goes right back to sleep till 8:30), eats alot, weighs 10 pounds (still small) and is lots of fun!
