La Posada con la escuela de Amiguitos!

Kiave's first concert on stage ~ he makes us so proud!










This is not our endorsement of Santa Claus ... just a moment in time.

¡Feliz Cumpleaños ~ Kiave!

This was a fiesta with lots of food, fun and friendship. Kiave was the oldest "little person" at his party and had a great time amongst friends. The conductors enjoyed eating and decorating cookies, pinning the number on Thomas the Train, pulling the strings on the piñata (the non-violent version), filling bags with goodies from the piñata, singing Happy Birthday with their train whistles and eating the 27-layer cupcake trail. Finally, Kiave opened presents while Azahn took a nap. Muchas Gracias to all who attended this joyous event ... we appreciate you!

We're still working on our bedtime routine!

Looks can be decieving!
























Kiave enjoys his new bathrobe from NYC!











Azahn - when I said 'leap into bed,' I didn't mean literally!

Kiave's 3rd birthday celebration at preschool (Amiguitos!)

Kiave prepares for school today - it's early in the morning!

Adrian worked very hard (and early in the morning!) to prepare cupcakes for 42 children at Amiguitos!

Kiave's teachers serenade him while he examines the cake.

See if you can find Azahn and Kiave in this picture?!

I think that Kiave enjoyed the cake :)

A visit to the Zoo!

A visit to the zoo landed Kiave in the barn!









Kiave enjoyed his visit with the sheep ... and yes, the animal is real!

We're happy to see you again!

Azahn has been busy these last few months: he has expanded his vocabulary to 50 words (mostly Spanish!), responds appropriately to questions ("Si") and loves spending time with Kiave (aka, "ave"). Azahn also loves to talk on the telephone ... we'll have to capture a picture of that!










Kiave has been preparing for his birthday pictures/celebration so, when we asked him to smile, he surprised us by doing so - right away! Let's see what happens in December.

Kiave has been enjoying the Fall season in Oregon (as evidenced by his smile) but, hopefully we won't need these coats/hats in San Diego, CA during our vacation in December!

Was it worth the wait?!

Time for bed, right?!









Azahn is 16 months old - already!












Kiave loves his new hair cut -












Looks like Kiave needs a lot of paper ...
