The latest




So once again I feel terrible for not writing in so long. Bad mommy. I will try to capture a bunch of the things that have transpired over the last year or so.

First of all Julian is the most delicious baby a mommy could ask for. Edible as aunt Kate says. He has grown into an amazing toddler. Almost walking now. The last year has flown by. I went back to work in February after 6 months off. The time at home was amazing. I was ready to go back. Jules has adapted to Ranka's of course with little transition time. He loves it there and loves all of his girlfriends. (Ranka, Tanya and Biljena)

He's never met a food he does not like and has 6 teeth now. Too funny.

Mira started in the pre-k class this year. She is being challenged and doing "real" school work that she brings home daily. She loves her baby brother and continues to be kind, nurturing, compassionate and sensitive. We can't believe how big she has gotten over the last year. 40 inches now. Still mall but big to us! I swear some days she looks 7.

Working full time and raising 2 kids is HARD. Thank goodness for an amazing husband. Who by the way is also doing great. Who could ask for more?

Oh BTW, Jules is now saying uh oh. He spent a bunch of time the other day perfecting it in the back of the car. Uh...uuuu...uh...uuuu...hee hee.

Over the summer we hung out with friends and visited family in Philadelphia in July. We got to go to Sesame Place which was a hoot for all. We also got to spend time with a very old friend of mine from elementary school. That was terrific. A number of people have also come to CA to visit us! Cousins Adina, Miles and Rivka Sara; Aunt Janice and Uncle Paul, Aunt Jeannie and the Applebaums. That was so fun.

So, here are some pics. If you are reading this and are not yet on Face Book, please get on it. It's wonderful to stay connected to everyone.

Cheers! Speak to you in a year or so. LOL.
