Sisters

One of the best things about having two kids is seeing them love each other. Tamara LOVES her sister. She ALWAYS wants to hold her, touch her, kiss her, even CHANGE HER DIAPER! It is really nice to see. I hope this continues.

Last Day of School

Today was Tamara's last day of school. We are so proud of her! My little girl started off the school year as the youngest one in her class. This school starts pre-school when kids are 3 years old by October 1st. I didn't want to wait another year to start her at the school so luckily they accepted her at 2 years 11 months. The first few months were rocky with the crying at EVERY drop off. Then we began to get the "pink slips" saying "Tamara does not listen in class". But all of a sudden, Tamara took a turn for the best and began to do wonderfully. Her teachers would give us compliments on her behavior and her healthy eating habits. She was given the nickname of "the little mouse" because she loved her CHEESE and broccoli. Academically she did great. She learned to spell her name, learned her letters, the sounds, the numbers, colors, shapes, opposites, rhymes and by the end of the year was sounding out words and trying to spell them. She also made many new friends and learned how to share. We are very proud of her. We look forward to another great year at Sunrise Preschool.

Summer is here

As summer approaches, the summer activities begin. Today we went on a playdate with Connor and Madeline and went swimming. This was Tamara's first time in a pool this summer so she was a little iffy.....or was she? Take a look.

Starts off with a doughnut and a noodle.




Ends with Jumping into the pool.




That was fun!

Happy Monday!

Julianna has really begun to show off her personality. It looks like she is going to be a happy baby.

She will also be a USC baby.

BBQ with the Rongas

We finished off our weekend with a nice relaxing BBQ at the Ronga house. It was the perfect day to hang-out outside. This is the life.

Who are you?



How cute!

Visit from Tio Nilam and TIa Sonal

Nilam and Sonal stopped by on their way home to visit and meet Julianna. Julianna enjoyed meeting her Auntie and Uncle and would like to go visit them in Monterey. She said she wants to visit soon and see the Sea Otters at the bay.

Julianna and her sister, notice the huge shark tatoo on Tamara's arm. She has a large gorilla and a large elephant on each of her legs.

Cousins

Tamara and Julianna had a great time this weekend with their cousins. The house was a whirlwind with kids playing, laughing, screaming and running around but the kids had a blast. Too bad her cousins live 3 hours away and they can't do this everyday.
