Sneak Peek

Here is Jake's 2nd birthday invitation...



We're planning just a small gathering...

End of summer…back to school

As the summer was winding down, Jake’s Cha-cha came for a visit. My mom stayed with us from July 31^st thru August 9^th. It was a short visit but sweet visit. Cha-cha was fresh from vacation in Kauai and she was really excited to get our fishpond (or as I like to refer to it - fish garden) started. They are very popular on the island and easily replicated but of course I did not try to do any of it on my own…I waited for her to arrive! We started off with four guppies and we’ve only lost 1 so far! Fingers crossed that we get babies…

Jake went to the best birthday party EVER…his cousin Anabella’s. Not only did Jake have fun celebrating, but he also had a wonderful time with ALL his cousins!! I’ve included some pictures from this special occasion where some lucky kid bounced in a bounce house with his outta shape mommy, ate cotton candy, and rode a pony!! There’s a short video at the bottom as well. You can hear his Aunty Anya cheering for him at the end…so sweet!!!

Our garden is really looking beautiful. Everything looks full and hearty, but I was beginning to think I may not see any veggies. But finally some Ichiban eggplants have appeared! The okra is also growing.

I’m back to work and getting the school year off to a great start!! I’m really loving my school and being part of the support staff. Can’t wait to see the kids next week.

We hope everyone that is checking in on us is enjoying August as much as we are!!

Spaghetti Night

Jake has had pasta before, BUT I guess this may be the first time he has ever had spaghetti...

I think he likes it...what do you all think?

Here's a video of the yummiest baby in our house!
