Christmas Tree Farm

What a wonderful day to be Christmas Tree hunting!

Tuesday Morning

Sophia was super excited about school this morning because Mommy had a special surprise for her to wear. She is always asking to wear her Strawberry skirt, but Mommy never irons it! So, last night, Mommy made sure to iron it so that she can wear it on this Thanksgiving Tuesday to school! The necklace, a token from Tia Yah Yah that's perfect!!
On a separate note, both children are sick. Sophia with a bronchital cough for 4 weeks now and Xavier has caught his first running nose as of Sunday. Both don't even know they are sick, happy children, I must say!

Sunday Photos

So, we tried to take a couple shots of the children and Annie before church. It was a very funny photo shoot as soon as Annie joined in. Sophia was a good sport the whole time and Xavier grew more and more impatient. Yes, that's his favorite chew toy...a toothpaste tube.

Lucy Turns 3!!

Today, we had the joy of sharing with Lucy and friends her THIRD Birthday! The children had so much fun in the HUGE jungle gym, Sophia couldn't get enough of the climbing and sliding obstacles. Xavier also loved hanging with all the older children and watching everyone have a great time. Afterwards, Sophia had some lunch and cupcake frosting all over her face. Sophia and Zoe were cracking up at Andy doing a little, funny dance to help the kids smile for the picture...good job, Andy, Sophia thought you were HILarious!

Hanging with the Kim's

This afternoon, Sophia and Xavier hung out with BFF Zoe and Nathan. The children enjoyed the fall weather and climbed rocks and played with leaves. It was a nice day and we barely beat the rain that came shortly after. Nate is just kinda waiting for Xavier to start playing ball with him instead of waving his arms about.

Sleep Over!!

This weekend, we packed our bags and headed out east to be with the Shah family. The weather was so wonderful and Sophia and Xavier had a friend to play with every minute. Sophia enjoyed hanging out with Ryan so much, they would chase each other around the house and have meal time and snacks together. The two had excellent chemistry playing together and we didn't have to worry about them for an instant. Xavier enjoyed a new friend his age, Quinn Frances, only 2 weeks older than him. Quinn is crawling around already and Xavier enjoyed her company while they shoved blocks in their mouth together. We all had such a wonderful time, could be the best trip to the Hamptons ever, and we didn't even have the pool open, can you imagine! Thanks to the Shah family and Jenn/Harlan/Quinn for such a memorable weekend!!

Some Fall Photos

We went outside to take a couple pictures of a beautiful fall day. Xavier was really upset the whole time because we were not letting him put leaves in his mouth. He just wasn't into the photo shoot and Sophia and I were laughing at him. There is Abuelita's japanese maple in the background of one of the pics.
