More milestones....

It has been such a joy to be able to experience the many milestones babies/toddlers have during their early years. Katarina has been on target (if not advanced) on many of them. Dina has always been a stickler from day on about brushing Katarina's baby teeth. All of sudden, though, Katarina does NOT want Mommy brushing her teeth for her. She knows she's a "big" girl and insists on using the toothbrush on her own. I know that the "What to Expect the Toddler Years" book says this is about the age where toddlers start to learn how to use the toothbrush on their own, but it's just one more thing Mommy & Daddy won't have to do for her!

Katarina's Swim Lesson Report Card!

Well, our first session of swim lessons is now over. It was unusually cool this time of year to be in the pool. A lot of the kids, including Katarina, had their moments and did NOT like the cold water. But, overall Katarina did very well.

Next week starts our last sessions for the summer. Should be lots of fun, again!

It was certainly overwhelming, with both Dina and Jeff starting new jobs. But, it was joyous occassion we were happy to share with immediate family. David was just so cute in his little outfit walking around the courthouse! Katarina was extremely well behaved even though it wasn't her day. :) Jeff started his new job with a lumber company in Livermore as an operations manager. It is a bit overwhelming learning everything and with there being so much responsibility. His shift will be later in the day, so he has been taking the kids to daycare in the morning so Dina can get to work early and then Dina picks them up after school and takes care of dinner and bath time. So far, it's worked out as far as that goes, but that still doesn't leave much Mommy & Daddy time. Dina started up her school year with her new cla...
