Happiness is a little blue train...




Elia building a table for Alo and AB, her imaginary friends
Even snotty babies helped!



....and a table to ride it on! Handy Da came for a visit this week and led the construction of a train table for Elia and Niko (one day Niko will get to play with it, right?). Elia loved helping him build it; she held the measuring tape and made sure Da had a pen when he needed to make a mark on the wood. Needless to say the finished project is a HUGE hit! Thanks Da!

Preschool!!!!

Waiting for her teachers to come get her and the other kids

Special pre-preschool pizza lunch ;)

So my old lady started 3-yr-old preschool this past week, and after some initial trepidation had a great time. I, of course, was bawling. She wore her backpack proudly and let me know that she has a new friend named, wait for it.....Thomas!

Big boy

He wants to do everything like Elia...even use the potty ;)


He just looks so big to me these days!
