Gymnastics

Julianna, you are doing so good in gymnastics. You are on the CAT 3 team for 4-6 year olds. They are getting you strong and preparing you to hopefully compete next year. It's amazing how strong you have gotten since you started last summer. I really like this little team because they focus on conditioning rather than full blown gymnastics. This way, when you are ready to learn gymnastics tricks, you will be strong enough to perform them correctly.

Counting Blessings

Today was a very sad day at work. One of my sweet little 3 year old patients died. I can't help but look at my own babies and just count my blessings for their health. It almost makes me feel guilty for having it so good. I'm very fortunate.

Visiting cousins

Today was such a relaxing and fun day. Your dad had some work to do on our rental unit so we decided to take a road trip to Carlsbad to visit your cousins. We all just relaxed and gave Solana and Daniela lots of hugs and kisses. You guys played kitchen, played hide and seek, read books and just had fun. Hopefully we can see them again soon.

Soccer

So Tamara, we are off to another soccer season. This will be your first time playing "real" soccer with goalies, positions and keeping score. You are really looking forward to this because you want to win and make it count. You had a good game and you made it clear that you didn't want to play offense because it was too tiring (lazy-butt).

Meet the "Pink Pumas"

Karina's first Kidspace mommy and me class

Karina, you went to your first mommy and me class at Kidspace today. Your Abue took you and you had fun exploring, playing with the kids and sitting in circle-time. You were still a bit clingy to Abue and she couldn't stray very far away from you, but you did good. Hopefully these little classes will start to prepare you for pre-school that will start in September.

Pre-school tour

It's hard to believe that the time has come for you to start preschool. You have been our little baby now for 2 years and its amazing that you will soon be big enough to start school. Karina, you attended your first preschool tour today and oh my goodness you were so darn cute! You just have to be one of the cutest little kids ever! You do the funniest things, you are so flexible with our crazy life and you just seem to be such a happy little girl. You really enjoyed checking out the classroom and meeting the other little kids. It seems like little kids are attracted to you because they kept coming over and helping you color. I can't wait for you to start school in the fall and have Tamara's old preschool teacher, Mrs. Nelson. You are going to love her!

The Grove

We spent the day today at the Grove with Amy, Alfredo and baby Ava. It was such a relaxing day. Julianna and Karina loved the dancing wanted fountain. Julianna kept asking me to take pictures so she could show Tamara. It was so cute.
