Sophie having a fun minute with Grandpa

Luisy, happy that the big sliver of stone is out of his foot - what a great patient he is! No running around with bare feet at the lake anymore!

Tio... patience....patience....... no bites at all :o)

Christian & Grandpa fishing in Chandler -- the boys' first fishing day!

Spring planting day!

Could they possibly be tears of joy?

No - Sophie is on "time out"... oh, the life of a baby...

Pretty necklace, Titi...

Well... we hope that all is well! Our babies are growing fast... we're so busy, it is hard to keep up with everyone/everything ;o)

Luisy and Christian start school on Monday - Christian in Kindergarten, Luisy in first grade! They are excited to join a new school, meet new friends and have a ball learning this year... Sophia is growing by leaps and bounds, every day she amazes us - we thought that the boys were outta-this-world smart (of course, they are our kids, right?!) - Sophie already speaks in sentences, plays games and follows directions (and then again, doesn't follow directions, by choice).

We can't really hope to recap the last almost year since I posted, but let's just say that we recently took an awesome trip to New Jersey to visit family and had an awesome time. The plane rides were great, both there and back, and the visit with family was amazing! Titi Lissa married Tio Nelson... we got to ride do a Ferry tour around New York, saw the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, etc.

So -- we hope you are well, enjoying a great summer, keeping cool - and that we'll see you some time soon - come see us any time!
