Christian practicing his name :o) 

Christian hard at work with his markers - he was, as he reported, writing his name, and Luisy's name, and mommy's name. He's just about filled a 12x18" piece of paper! 

Christian and Luisy in the front yard on Thanksgiving day. Christian was enjoying his balloons, and Luisy was taking his rocket ship for a test run! 

Christian going for a swim...It really doesn't get much sweeter than that! 

Christian taking a cat nap after a long Thanksgiving afternoon. Ohhh, the turkey, fun and family - it is exhausting! 

Happy Thanksgiving! Christian was outside having fun with his Thanksgiving balloons on the big day! It was such a beautiful day - it hasn't been cold yet, so the bouganvilla is still in bloom :o) 

The boys enjoying some down time with Daddy. 

The boys getting ready for a quick ride...Dolly looks so pretty dressed up for work. 

Come on... I can't reach!!! Christian sure seems tiny next to Dolly. 

Christian loves to help brush Dolly - here he is getting ready for his turn with the green brush. 

Yeeeehaw cowboys! Here comes Luisy and Christian! 

The boys enjoying an afternoon riding their horsey, Dolly. They always have fun when they go to the barn...especially when they get to go for a little pony ride. 

Christian and Luisy finally had a chance to introduce grandma and grandpa to Dolly! Such a fun time... 

Christian performing the "dance of the butterfly, Spiderman". He was just darling! 

This is a picture of Luisy, Christian and our other neighbors, Gage and Jake. They were are ready to put on a Halloween show. 

Luisy and Christian posing with our Winnie the Pooh Halloween bear in our front yard (which as of today, he's still out - they can't imagine him not being there!). They enjoyed coming home to see him puffed up in the front yard every night. 

All of the friends, dressed up for Halloween fun! 

Luisy, Christian, and Patrick (just leaving the picture in the front) on Halloween with our neighbors. 

Christian was very kind in decorating mommy's shirt. He said that it was, "because you have been good, mommy!" 

Christian decorated mommy's back with stickers - he is so kind... He said it was, "because you are being good, mommy!" 

Luisy thought it was very funny that he had corn stuck between his nose and upper lip - ok, we thought it was pretty funny too. 

Luisy as the Red Power Ranger!!! Bad guys beware!!!! 

Spiderman hasn't quite morphed yet, he's still got wings :o) Christian loved his Spiderman costume, but it was just missing something...He wanted a mask, but that makes it hard to see - so mommy picked up some wings, which he just loved!!! 

The boys love playing with shaving cream in the tub - here is a picture of them going for it! We write their names, letters, numbers, etc. up there for them to practice. 

Based on this picture, can you just guess who has joined our family? This picture was taken the day before our new member joined us...We went shopping at PetSmart to get everything prepared, including this little cage...
