I love my babies

Sorry, yet again for the delay!! So whats been going on. Serena turned 2yrs old, there are pics futher down. I interviewed for a job in a peds heme\onc clinic. Serena had her first preview of school. Both of the kids just had a well child checkup. Serena is 2 yrs old, weighing in at 26lbs, and is 80cm (about 50% for ht and wt). Seth is weighing in at 18.2 lbs, and is 70 cm. I just wanna throw in there that Serena weighed 19 lbs at 1yr!! So both are growing very well!! Sean just had an annual review from his work and things are going great and he is well liked! There is talk about him moving up to Portland in the future....hopefully not too soon...we are just getting settled here! We are keeping busy and keeping the kids busy. Everyone have a safe Halloween and I will post their costumes after Halloween.

Seth, trying to crawl and read.

This is Serena before I took her to her first day of school....it was just for an hour and a half and I was in the building the whole time, when I returned to her room, she never even missed me!! I guess this will be harder on me than on her. My goal is for the kids to eventually go to school (daycare) 2 days a week so I can return to work a little bit.....we are working up to it. I'm having a little bit of trouble letting go.

My little Happy Pants!! Oh, this is a 12 month outfit!!

At the zoo with the Santos family and Nana and Pop-pops

The Santos family came to visit us from California and it was a blast!! Serena and Mckenzie had so much fun playing together...this is our trip to the zoo with them...Can't wait to see you guys again!

The obstacle course...there is everything here. A corn maze, a kid maze, slides, swings, petting zoo, castle made from hay bales, pedle carts, hayride, apple slingshot, and apple cannon! Oh, and a dark maze!

Cute babies!!!

Pretty little lady.

Serena likes to put Seth in her baby strollers and she likes to cram herself into them also.

Behind locked doors!

Serena loves to go into the bathroom and lock the door...however, she is not that good at unlocking the door! By the time I got the bathroom opened this time this is what she had done.

Twinkle Grandma

Serena can sing Twinkle Twinkle all the way through with all the words,but lately she wants to sing Twinkle to people. For example, Twinkle Grandma, Twinkle lolipop, twinkle mommy, ect.

Caught being good

Sometimes Serena gets really quite and that concerns me....it usually means she is doing something she knows she is not suppose to be doing. But this time, she was just being a good little girl!! She is so much fun to watch when she doesn't think anyone is watching her, her imagination is amazing!
