We've been pretty busy around here the last month. Jon traveled to Australia for work and then returned only to head off to Vegas. He's back home now for the time being. The kids certainly missed him while he was gone, we managed to skype with him only one time due to the 19 hour time difference.

Kira continues to make us laugh with the innocent comments that come out of her mouth. As I was putting her in the carseat the other day I called her a silly monkey, to which she replied "Yes, I am; and you're a monkey". Hilarious. Today she was telling one of the ladies at daycare that her brother has a penis and so does Daddy. When the daycare lady asked what Kira had, Kira replied "I have a small 'gina - see?" and then whipped down her pants. That's my girl.

Kai has been fighting a few colds this month, but for now he seems to be on the road to recovery. He's starting sliding backwards down the stairs and just today figured out how to do one step down without falling. While it's not consistent, he is starting to learn some words. There have been a few instances where he's said words that we could clearly understand - like swing (while pointing at a baby swing, and this was heard by a friend too so I am not making this up!) and this weekend he said baby - while pointing at baby Enzo. I don't anticipate him talking for a while yet, but it is still exciting to see him develop into a little man.

The kids love playing with water in the sink - easy entertainment.

Kai's trying to learn how to climb up the slide....not too successful thus far

Crossing the "bridge" at the school playground - she is very excited to go to this school when she's 5

Climbing monster

Too cool to smile
