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.

There was a lot of food to go around and we have leftovers galore! It was a wonderful day that introduced our son to the everyone! After everyone left, it was time to clean up. Thankfully there was a lot done by the extended family before they started leaving, so it really wasn't too bad. Dina did 3 loads of laundry after the party just from the new clothes the kids received! LOL! Getting toys out of the new packaging with the twist ties are a PAIN!!! On another note, this morning Dina took the kids downstairs to feed them breakfast. After David ate, Dina changed him out of his pajamas into a new outfit. He ...
