Santino learning new songs in pre-school+6-*+

Santino is learning some really cute
songs in school, recently he taught us
The doughnut song, if you can make out
what he's saying it's sweet. I love the
part about "sprinkle powdered sugar on
the very top"

Family beach day!

Now that summer is coming to an end I wanted to get
the family together for one last day at the beach. So
John, the kids and I headed on down to Pacific Beach in
San Diego and met up with the rest of our gang. I think
everyone had a great time, but then we always do when
we are together. All the kids were so happy jumping the
waves and playing in the wet sand with Uncle Greg. I'm
glad the heat is leaving, but sad that these beach days
are over. Oh well there's always next year!

Swimming lessons

This summer Santino has been taking
swimming lessons and has had the best
time. We are so proud of how far he
has come. His very first class he wouldn't
put his face in the water, and now he's
jumping off waterfalls and learning to
dive. It's so much fun to watch him enjoy
the water.

Santino's first day at pre-school

Santino started pre-school last week
and he is having so much fun. Each
morning he can't wait to get going. On
his first day I held his hand into the
classroom and he quickly let go and ran
to the circle of other kids. This boy had
no fear and was beaming with joy, we are
so happy that he get's along with the other
kids and has made many new friends. We look
forward to watching him develop as the year
goes by.

Sea World

This was Sonny & Julie's first time at
Sea World. We went with Uncle Michael
& Aunt Kathi. What a great first trip
the kids had a ball! The day was very
humid, but all in all we had great fun!
