Yikes!

A few seconds earlier, they were cutely reading together (hence I got the camera out to catch the moment...too late!). Some photos have to catch the everyday moments too, right?

Michael's Birthday Visit

We went to Philadelphia to visit Michael and Ashley for Michael's birthday, and we also went to Ashley's surprise baby shower! No pics somehow over the weekend?!?! Well, on the way home, we stopped off at Hershey's Chocolate World!

Carla's turn with the shades

Anna yapping away!

We are always wishing to video Anna chatting away, and now there is at least one! Listen for the news at the end...too bad I didn't have the camera on Dad for it!

She's da coolest!

Then Mario with Papa. How about that beard?! It's going away with the crutches, thank goodness! Look at that concentration...and I don't think Carla is even playing! Also of note, our pediatrician calls the girls' red faces "the Cleveland chap".

My little flirt

So stinkin' cute!

Pineapple hair-do!

So serious!

Carla loves foot attire on her hands

Usually socks, but today slippers...

PS- no photos, but today was this sweet girl's first day in big girl panties!
She's a pottying super-star!

Happy 5th Birthday Dionisio!

We love you lots!!! What a great celebration!

Busy Day and Night!

Happy birthday Mom, Dionisio, and Aunt Phyllis!

We had a fun baby shower for Ashley and Michael! No photos...busy times :) Everyone enjoyed great company, yummy food (lots of vegetarian for the guests of honor), and silly games!

Then to top it all off, tonight Nicholas treated the WHOLE family to a night on the Nautica Queen! Great company, food, and dancing! What a fun time! Thank you Nicholas!

Where to put the groceries...and the third child???

Anna's job!

Anna takes her job of replacing the kitchen trash and recycle bags very seriously!

Yeah, November!

Just look at how Carla watches Anna :) and check out Carla's funky outfit! ...but pay no mind to the messiness that surrounds them...
