RIBEIRO

Our little princess Nadia, like her brother, is growing by leaps and bounds. Around July 14 Nadia began effectively crawling forward! Nadia is much happier walking though, and loves to prance around holding our hands. She has even enjoyed riding and walking with Jonas' Walk 'N Ride toy. She is turning 10 months tomorrow!! Nadia loves to eat all kinds of yummy foods and take long baths at night, but still prefers to have Mommy put her to bed. She still calls Daddy by name - Da Da Da! We love you so much!

Jonas's 3rd Birthday began and ended with "Cars". June 24th we saw Cars 2 premier in 3D with buddies. On to Kelowna for Canada Day and some R'n'R. Olivia and her twin sisters visited after that. Uncle Ryan and Auntie Drea came for the birthday party, at Confederation Park with miniature train rides. Jonas' face lit up when he saw his very first bike (with training wheels). Mack showed up a couple days later. Jonas and Lightning are very happy! "Mater, I am sticking by you, the way you always stick by me" - Lightning McQueen

Is it that having two babies wanting my undivided attention has caused me to neglect the blog.....YES! There are not enough hours in the day. There are days I can't wait for bedtime but yet the minute the kids are in bed, Keith and I run around getting stuff done and yet there is always a "to do list" waiting to be checked off! We were able to enjoy some time in Kelowna this past week and yes, we found the SUN! We truly enjoyed our time with family and would have stayed longer if work wasn't calling Keith's name! The pictures are just a snapshot of our time there. We'll post more soon. Quick update: Nadia....crawling backwards, two bottom front teeth, is weighing just over 18lbs now, very happy to have you help her walk around the room on her own!!, says "da da" and "ma ma", sleeps through the night, happier feeding herself than having someone help her, loves her big bro! Jonas.....turning 3 this weekend!!!!!!, CRAZY vocabulary and memory,
