The beginning of some wonderful times ahead!

Analissa was showing her little sister how to ride a donkey. What a big helper!

Elena, The Dancer!

While we were enjoying having a new baby in the house again, several other important things were happening. Elena had been talking all summer about wanting to learn how to tap dance. The best part was, she was taking this class with her best friend Kalli.
We also celebrated Elena turning 5 years old! She had been wanting a party besides at our house, which I certainly didn't mind since Olivia hadn't even turned 1 month yet. Elena chose having it an indoor play area. It was a great turn out and everyone had tons of fun!
Marcus had also started daycare with Ms. Tracy. He's learned so much from her and his friends. This amazing 2 year old boy has grown into a very intelligent yet active boy! Every day he keeps us on our toes besides the little one.
Analissa also started 6th grade this year as a junior high student. We were very amazed at how well she was performing in her classes and doing farely well. Well, besides being a pre-teen headache at times. :)
