Gabi starts preschool!!

Gabi started preschool at the beginning of September. It would be an understatement to say that Gabi is excited. Everyday it is "Mommy, do I go to school today?" She goes to school three days a week, for a couple hours each day. She is also in the four year old class, even though she just turned 3. This will give her a good challenge since she already knows all the normal 3 year old preschool topics: alphabet, numbers, colors, etc.

Gabi in front of the house before leaving. People always ask if the curl in her pigtails is natural...yes, I put it up and it naturally curls that way. I wish she had the curl that Nathan's two sister's have!! That would be fun!

All the students were asked to make a paper doll that looks like them. This is the doll that Gabi and I made together. It even has glasses, which Gabi just loved!!

This is a video of Gabi talking about preschool and singing a song.

Gabriela's 3rd Birthday - May 5, 2008

Since we are catching up on the past year and a half, I came across these pictures tonight. This was from Gabi's birthday party this year. I can't believe she is already 3. She has been through a lot in her little life, and it is amazing to look back and see how much she has grown up and how well she is doing.

Gabi wanted a Backyardigans party. Auntie Jen gave her this card that sings their theme song. She played with it for over a month!

Gabi checking out her new sandbox. She wanted us to show her how her new toy worked.

Kai got some sidewalk chaulk for her birthday.

Gabi's new dress up dolls that she got from Grandmom and Granddad.

Gabi loves to play dress up. Here she is in the Cinderella dress that Grandma and Papa gave her.

Gabi's birthday cake.


Gabi couldn't wait to start eating the cake. All dressed up as a different princess, she started to dig in.

This was a fun night for Gabi.

Where has the time gone?

Time has really flown by. I won't make any excuses to why I didn't keep our old website updated. Life was more than crazy when Kai came along and trying to juggle two kids, and still teaching. I have now quit teaching and am staying home with the kids. I figured it was time to go back to the more simple blog website to post pictures of the kids.

You can see above in our tickers that we have some news to share. We will see who catches our little hint!

Please check back often. I am planning on updating the website quite a bit in the next few weeks to update everyone on what we have been up to for the last year and a half. You will be amazed in how much the kids have changed!

Hope you enjoy the pictures!

How long has it been? 17 months!

The last time I posted on our old website Kai was only a month old, and Gabi was almost 2. Look how much they have grown!

Kai in March, 2007. He was just over a month old.

Kai is now 19 months old!

Gabi at 22 months

Gabi is now 3 years, 4 months old!
