Movie at the Park

Last night we sat beneath the stars at Cool Creek Park watching, "Ratatouille". The free movie started at 9 p.m. so we packed popcorn, our blankets and chairs and met the Prather family at the park. The kids really seemed to enjoy it and did very well considering the time. We were unable to get a photo because the movie had already begun by the time we arrived, but the kids looked so cute in their pj's and sitting in their little chairs.

Classical Mystery Tour at Conner Prairie

Titi Gigi came to visit this week and to attend the Classical Mystery Tour at Conner Prairie with us. We had so much fun listening to music performed by four musicians who look, sound and play like the Beatles. They weren't the only entertainment as we enjoyed watching Nadia dance the night away. Nadia even convinced me to head up to the front of the stage for some dancing. There are some other great pics that Jose captured but I didn't want to post them all, so please visit our photo album to view them.

First Day of School-"Mom's Day Out"

5 A.M. Wake Up Call
Mami has been stressing about this day for a week now and apparently for good reason, it was a very rough three hours for poor Nadia. First, Nadia was awake at 5 a.m. (we think she had another bad dream) so we brought her into our room but she never went back to sleep. When we got to the church, Nadia was pretty excited, but the fear quickly took over as the other children that were dropped off before her began to scream and cry. Nadia soon joined in as one of the teachers took her into the room. Immediately I found myself crying, which I knew would happen. When I returned to pick her up, all my fears had come true. Nadia was so upset that she vomited on her blankey, so it was taken away from her (the true source of comfort-even more than me) and she never truly bounced back the entire 3 hours! Now the stress I was feeling will linger on until my poor baby adjusts...I pray that sooner than later both Nadia and I will find comfort in going to Mom's Day Out.

Cutie Patootie

Happy Birthday!

We spent the day in Kokomo on Sunday celebrating Papaw's 56th birthday. Congratulations!


Saturday afternoon there was a quasi Kokomo High School reunion here. Erica & Andy, Layla & Iris, and the Prather's came by on what turned out to be a very humid afternoon. More time was spent inside than out, but we had a great time. Check out the web album for more pics.

Come Sit with Me

Big Sis, Little Sis

Nadia's imagination takes off! Today, in the above photo, she told me that she was on a boat in the water. I guess watching, "Go, Diego, Go!", has given her some ideas. Just before I took this photo she was pretending that the tile was water and that her duck was swimming in it. A few days ago she undid her glow necklace and it became a fishing rod and then she turned into a golf club when she began swinging it. Too funny...I can't wait to see what she comes up with next.

Ever since we saw the monkeys at the State Fair, Nadia has been obsessed! Here she is wrestling/tickling them in her Dora undies and her yellow and pink high heels (the girl loves her high heels.) I know...she's going to hate this photo and us for taking it someday but we couldn't resist.
Mami gets a break and it's Papi's turn! Here Nadia entertains Sonia while Jose chats on the phone.

We have some news to report on Sonia that we haven't shared. Sonia has had a handful of upper body/head tremors within the past month. We're praying it's nothing serious and will be seeing a Neurologist next month to confirm what is going on. She remains a happy baby and is developing well so we're not too worried but are looking into it to be safe.
