Summer Fun

I am still trying to get used to this free forum for posting. Bloging gives you endless opportunities to express yourself and create. I know I usually just put up a picture and tell you about it. But, I am venturing out and becoming more daring, how about a little more narative for ya'll.

We have been so busy this spring moving, Ernesto's new job, and me finishing up my degree. Not to mention the kids and running around everywhere. Antony had tubes put in his ears and Daniela has been back at gymnastics. However, she is now focusing on the "tumbling" portion. So she is fliping and floping on the trampoline and the gymnastics floor. It is impressive to see. We will get some pics in the near future.

Right now, Daniela is in Seattle with her grandparents visiting her aunt and cousins for a couple weeks. She will return on the 22nd. I think Antony will be excited to see her. They enjoy spending time together. I think he gets a little bored without her. Oh lucky Daniela and her little shadow.

Before she left we all decided to go to the little zoo in town. Antony really got a kick out of the animals, he is starting to notice more details. Here he is looking at the monkeys with Daniela and Ernesto. It is so much fun to add the new excitement of children to experiences that we are used to. Daniela and Ernesto were making the monkey noises and narrating things for him. He was very happy and even participated in making the noises.

Below, He is riding his new bike. He was so excited about this bike that he couldn't wait for me to get it put together. He wanted to ride it right then and was getting frustrated that I would not let him. It was so funny.

I was so excited we found one that would work for him. He is just drawn to bikes! It is one of his favorite things. That day, Ernesto took him out to the park and he rode his bike for hours.

We also bought this swimming pool for him. He loves water and goes nuts in it. He was so angry with me when I took him out, but his lips were blue and he was shivering. And look, ugh his ears!!!
