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.

So nurturing.

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.

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!

Lunch with Alex

Unfortunately, I only have about 1 month left of my maternity leave. So in the meantime, I am doing everything I can to just have fun! Today, Tamara and I met Tia Alex for lunch at Mijares. Its a tradition I would like to continue since I dont get to see family as often as I like. We had a nice time and Tamara talked about her Tia for the rest of the day.


Tamara loves her Tia.

Father's day

Happy Fathers day to all you daddies. I hope you all had a wonderful day. We sure did! We started off the day with my dad. We kept it simple and just had hung out. We then came back home and had a bbq with the compadres. We had a great meal as usual, 5 stars! The menu was about 7 pounds of Copper River Salmon, grilled asparagus, grilled corn, a caesar salad, lots of wine, and two desserts, cupcakes for the kids and a homemade lemon curd tart..... YUMMY Danny! Next time, I wouldn't mix wine with lemon!

One thing for sure, these kids are so lucky to have their grandparents around.
