FINALLY!!!!!

When we were looking to buy a house, my one criteria had always been that it have a deck. So, when we looked at the model of this house, I was so excited because it had a great deck. However, when we went to closing, they informed us that it was an "option" and that they were going to charge us a REDICULOUS amount of money to build it. So...we made the sad decision not to have them build it. So...for three years, I have been dreaming about this deck. This year, we finally decided that it was time to build it..and here it is! They started it last Monday and were done on Wednesday! So exciting. Last night Cesar and I finally had a chance to just sit out there and enjoy the beautiful weather and some much needed quiet time together. Yea...my house is now complete (well...at least until I find some other project I can't live without!!)!

Cousins

Sunday, Gaby & Jim and the boys came over for dinner! It was a lot of fun to have them all here. The boys went out and fished in the pond in the back yard for a while, Cesar gave them all a few jiu jitsu lessons, and then we all ate and played for the rest of the night. It was a good night!

We finally got a picture of all the kids together :)

This picture cracks me up!

CRAWLING (and just having fun)!

Oh my...it's official. The girls are BOTH crawling! Leah started crawling on Friday. We really didn't notice Isabella getting anywhere at that point. She would just go in circles or go backwards. So, Saturday morning, I woke up and took out the computer (Isabella's obsession) and Bella was across the room in seconds! So...here is proof of the craziness that is about to take over our lives! The second video is just playtime this afternoon!

This is Leah's first time in the bathtub! We had been giving them baths in their little baby bathtub, but FINALLY, they can sit up on their own and we can do it in the real bathtub. We are still doing it separately until they are a little stronger, but soon we will be able to put them in together. OH how much easier this will make bath time! Hooray!!
