HAPPY SABBATH, EVERYONE!!

Kiara Charlisse, 2 months old

Litte Gym Graduation

Last week Brianna graduated from her "Super Bugs" class at the Little Gym. They had a really cute ceremony with a podium, balloons and medals. She's been sporting hers around, so proud of her accomplishment.

And so are we!!! She's growing up and developing into an absolutely beautiful little girl inside and out. Thank God for our little super bug!

Go Rawhide!!

Our good friend Dave Anderson took Jeremy & Brianna to the Visalia Rawhide AAA baseball game on Wednesday. What a GREAT evening "at the old ball game."

Brianna was very enamored with Tipper, the mascot, and loved all the cheers, chants and songs.

And the home team even won by 9 to 4! Thanks Dave for a great evening.

Go get some popcorn and come watch our adventures playing right now ...

Awesome Nature at Hume Lake

These ducks came straight out of the water towards us and were unafraid of hanging out by the stroller.

Beautiful deer family sitting by the path we were walking (our whole family did the loop on the lake, about 2.5 miles). We couldn't believe our luck! Brianna was so excited she wanted to go up and pet them.

Bri's patriotic swimsuit ... getting ready for 4th of July fun with Abu Nino and Abu Ivon this year. Yeah!

"Sorry boys, Daddy won't let me date till I'm 30"

The shirt says it all!!!

Trip to the OC last weekend

We spent Memorial Weekend down in the OC to see our Argentinean friends from "Amanecer" singing at the Crystal Cathedral. Here Brianna attended an African drum class out in Tustin. Music is just in her blood!

Our two most beautiful princesses

Look at those blue eyes!

Beautiful Bri outside the Crystal Cathedral

Our little fish is back in the water!

Bri is enjoying some fresh & yummy apricots. She's back in the pool and swimming everywhere by herself. She puts the floaties on just when she gets tired or for a quick warm-up. We'll see what exciting new things she'll do in the pool this summer!

10 lbs and sleeping almost through the night

Chunky Kiara weighs 10 lbs. now and, as you can see, continues to eat very well! Luckily for Mommy, as Ki keeps gaining weight Mommy is losing it! Bibi is back into her pre-pregnancy clothes and starting to train for the half-marathon in San Francisco at the end of July.

Last night she slept for almost 7 hours at 7 weeks, just like big sis Brianna. By 9 wks. old, Brianna was sleeping thorugh the night, as we hope Kiara will too. We're following the guidelines of the book "Preparation for Parenting," found at www.gfi.org. It's proven a great Bible-based resource for our two girls, especially in teaching them the value of a routine from early on. We highly recommend it!
