The girls were playing peek-a-boo with each other for about 5 minutes on the deck tonight. I tried to get it on video but once I got the camera out, they pretty much decided they were done. Here is the end of the game...

Fun Day!

What a great Sunday we had! The girls woke up at 5am (which seems to be the new norm...ugghh), so I wasn't real sure how the day was going to go. BUT...they took a 90 minute nap (and so did I) before breakfast and everyone was refreshed and happy after that! We went to church and Leah made it all the way through the service in children's ministry!!! That is the first time that has happened. Isabella made it for 20 minutes before breaking down...still an improvement from previous weeks. Then we took the girls to Baker park for the first time. I just love that place and the girls really did too! I forgot to take my camera but I am sure we will be spending a lot of time there, so we'll just have to get some pics next time. When we got home, we played outside for a while. The girls were just so excited to be outside..the weather was PERFECT. Here are some pictures from the day...

Isabellita "all done" with hers

This is why we can't ever load or unload the dishwasher when the girls are awake! If you open the dishwasher (or the fridge), they are in there faster than you can shut the door and then they scream and cry if you shut it! They even do this at other people's houses...

Isabella hamming it up with Daddy

Twins!

Beautiful Leah

Me and My Isabellita

Isabella LOVED crawling up and down the sidewalk. She went up and down over and over and over again! Here she stopped to stand up and take a look around...

So happy to be out there...

The result of all the sidewalk crawling...whoops! My poor baby! She really didn't seem bothered by it at all though. When we came inside she just wanted to go out on the deck and crawl around some more!!

We LOVE Grandma

We are beyond grateful to Grandma who has taken amazing care of all of us so much the past few weeks! She came and stayed with us while Daddy was in Ecuador so that Mommy would have some help. Then, she came over to watch us so that Mommy could take back the rental car when we got back from Savannah. AND THEN...she watched us for THREE WHOLE days while Mommy went back to work! Ms. Kelly was not able to come back to be our nanny until the second week of school, so Grandma volunteered to come out and stay with us. She even stayed over-night and helped give us baths and put us to bed!! We had such a fun time hanging out with her and getting spoiled!! Thanks Grandma for everything. We are so blessed to have you (and Mommy thinks your pretty amazing too!!!)!

*GEORGIA*

OK, finally have enough time to sit down and post some pictures from Georgia! The last week of summer (well..my summer), Deanna & Kai and the girls and I went down to visit Grandpa in GA! It was an AWESOME trip. The kids all did really well on the drive down, they had a great time hangin' with Grandpa, they played well together, and the girls slept GREAT every night that we were there (7pm-6am...wish I could figure out how to get them to do that here at home!). Here are some highlights from our trip...

Finally got Grandpa to sit down for a family picture...too bad he closed his eyes in all of them :)

The whole gang!!



Isabella's teeth (we call her our little vampire)



Leah's teeth..

I am writing this two weeks later and they are already SO much bigger than this picture!

My smiley girls!

Grandpa and Isabella playing on the porch

This pretty much sums up isabella's attitude toward the pool...she just wasn't sure if she liked it or not!

Leah LOVED the pool! She would just lay back and relax (when she wasn't trying to drink the pool water)

The girls had a great time playing with Matt and Micheal. Here Isabella is using Matt as an obstacle course!

Grandpa already spoiling the girls...they LOVED the Popsicles!

The Bay

Saturday, we went to the bay to see the family! Sam & Christine and Liza, Jim & Geneva came down from NY/NJ for a visit. We had such a good time hanging out with them and Jerry, Jim, Jen and their families! The new house is just absolutely gorgeous...especially at sunset! Here are a few pics from the day.

I wasn't sure how to zoom in on this, so if you want to see it better, you'll have to click on it and make it bigger.

Leah really liked the sunset too!

The girls (especially Isabella) absolutely LOVED the dog! It made me think we should really get one (well...I thought that for a second...then I thought about taking him out on cold winter days, doggy puke, dog hair all over the house, vet bills, expensive doggy food...etc., and I decided maybe not!). It was still very cute to see how much she loved him.

Best Friends!!

I have a lot of pictures to put on here from our AWESOME trip to GA last week, but it will have to wait until I can find time to sit down and sort through them all. In the meantime, here are some pics I took today. I was in the kitchen getting the girls' dinner ready and I heard them laughing hysterically around the corner. When I went in to see what was so funny, this is what I found!! Sorry there are so many pics of the same thing, but I just couldn't resist posting all of them!

Having fun with Daddy!

Cesar left today for Ecuador :(

We are REALLY going to miss him!

BUT...we are also excited for the week! Grandma is going to come over tonight and tomorrow night for a sleep over! Then we head to GA with aunt Deanna and cousin Kai to spend the week at Grandpas! We are very anxious to get there!!

Since Cesar was leaving today, we spent the morning as a family. It was really fun!! We got some good pics of Daddy and his girls!!

(this picture cracks me up because it looks like Isabella has a mouthful of huge teeth!!)

The girls have begun a new climbing phase. They LOVE to climb on everything! Today, they were so excited to have Cesar's luggage to climb on...

...and to climb in!
