Naps With Daddy Are Sometimes Needed...

Future Musician...

This boy is so excited about his new percussion set.  His siblings were just as excited to hear him play.  Let the loud noise continue!

Liliana's First Date...

A couple days ago, Liliana informed us she was dating a boy named Colin.  Yesterday, she wanted confirmation that she could go on a movie date with this new boyfriend.  Today, he was riding the bus home to our house, hanging out with Liliana for a few hours, eating dinner with us, and then going to the movies.  Given her young age, Marc and I agreed one of us needed to be present at the movie.  We wouldn't sit near them but be in the same theater.  We also agreed they would have to pay their own way and for the food they wanted to enjoy.  The evening went well.  He is a very sweet boy.  They both seem to enjoy each other's company so it'll be interesting to see how long they "date" for!  I managed to sneak a couple pictures without them noticing!!

Awkward Sleeping Position...

I'm not sure why my children always fall asleep in such awkward positions but it never looks cozy?!

First Day Of Preschool...

Very excited, Rosalia grabbed her clothes and got ready for school this morning.  She wanted 4 braids, her new shirt and shoes, and her new princess backpack.  She was so excited for school that she walked right into class and didn't even hug or kiss us good bye.  Papa and Grandma surprised her when we picked her up.  We all went over to Peter Piper Pizza for lunch.  I was shocked Rosalia didn't crash hard when we finally made it home but she did fuss at dinner time saying repeatedly "I'm so tired mommy I'm ready for bed."  She can't wait to go back for her second day of preschool.

Meet The Teacher

With the older kids settled at their new schools it was finally time for Rosalia to meet her teacher at her new preschool.  She was so smiley and so excited for what the morning would include.  She was even excited to have homework to return on the first day of school.  She was a little shy towards her teacher but still smiled nice and big for a picture and good bye hug.  By days end, she had a bit of a meltdown but that was expected.

Monkey Child Strikes Again...
