WHO WAS BAIO?

Baio is a little train that most kids call Thomas The Tank Engine. Christian has been a Baio fan for quite a while. We have no idea where the name Baio came from, but we sure know who he is....

Christian knows each and every one of the other engines and calls them by their correct name. In our house we have Baio books, Baio bubble bath, Baio engines (all sizes), Baio bedding, Baio CD's, Baio games, Baio shoes, etc., etc.

Even though Baio has invaded our house we are very grateful to him, it has given Christian plenty of entertainment and us a few good minutes to relax!

Pictures, Pictures! Halloween and the New House!




The backyard (appears larger than it is), the front of the house and the little conductor riding my latest engineering project! A steam engine made out of state of the art cardboard with a high performance exhaust system !




















Ivonne and Bobby..look what FL will do to your hair!

Halloween night...A gangster in the family!






As far as the steam engine Robert helped towards the end..I got worn out and the conductor kept rushing me !)





Fall in Florida...that's it! This is part of the neighborhood.


Easter Egg Hunt

I have waited all morning for the Easter egg hunt! I celebrated with Andrei playing the organ!

Toda la manana esperando por ir a buscar huevos de Pascua. Celebre tocando el organo con Andrei!






We are two virtusosos!












At the neighborhood Easter egg hunt. The wait is not easy.





Que huevos, ni huevos, lo que yo quiero es correr con mi canasta en el parque! Gritando!





Eggs? What eggs? All I want to do is run around the playground with my basket!..Screaming!

Happy 40 Robert!



Robert llego a casa para encontrar 25 Flamingos anunciando la llegada de los 40! (Se supone que son 40 flamingos pero para mantenernos dentro de budget...a peso el pajaro...mas tax!) Como salio temprano del trabajo encontro a su papa con las manos en la masa.. sembrando flamingos!


Robert came home from work to find 25 pink flamingos announcing his 40th birthday. (It was supposed to be 40 but to keep withing budget...every bird is $1..plus tax).

He came home sooner than usual and caught Ed sticking the flamingos in the yard!! He had a good laugh anyway..


Christian said there were a of birdies in the yard...

Christian y Santa


Que Santa ni Santa... Que me den el candy cane y por ahi me voy!
Tan tranquilo que se ve y por poco no se le puede tomar la foto!!

Beautiful Fall!

Predecian que no iba a a haber mucho color este otono debido a la sequia, pero ha sido el cambio mas bello que yo he visto. Mi camara no puede capturar la brillantez de los rojos, anarajados y amarillos. Yo he tomado tantas fotos que Robert dice que se siente que anda con una turista japones! Estas fotos son alrededor de la casa de sus papas.




















Steam Engines, Pleaseeeee!! Nov, 4.



Christian y su amiguito Andrei viven fascinados con los trenes. A 30 minutos de nuestra casa hay un tren de vapor que da un paseito por el bosque.

Dalmatian en Halloween.





A bebo no le intereso halloween, algunos de los difrazes le daban miedo y decia "Yikes!!..scary!", entonces corria a esconderse detras de mi. Lo que en realidad le interesaba, era ir a jugar con los juguetes de Andrei, su amiguito. Se pasan quitandose los juguetes y llorando pero son locos con estar juntos.

Ivette la calabaza. Me disfraze por que encontre el disfraz en un yard sale a $3.! y aunque no estoy en la quilla ..rellene el disfraz para verme mas calabacita.

Christian's End of year program

Christian (the little guy with the suspenders) attended a Parent's morning out program where he played and learned letters, numbers and colors. They had an end of year program called Salute to America. I could not believe it but he stood without moving for a few minutes. He is the youngest of the group. Everything was fine until ....

He saw dada in the audience!

He saw dada in the audience!
While the kids sang, he screamed DADA!
He calmed down quickly, thank goodness because seeing him cry was breaking our hearts! The program was very short, Christian had a great time afterwards!

Is the kid in the middle crying?

Is the kid in the middle crying?
NO! He was singing the pledge of allegiance!

My second birthday..

We celebrated Christian's birthday at home. With only two cousins the house felt like it was going to fall apart. He had a great time running behind Davis and Rebecca! We thought he was going to pass out at night but it was 10 and we could not get him to go to sleep!

A truck!

This was a very cold easter Sunday. We missed all of the egg hunts except Ivonne's. At hers, eggs have money inside, no candy. Christian did not care for either, he was more interested in running behind the dogs.
