Daddy comes Home!

After a few months away we were eager to have Daddy back - the kids watched the stairs at John Wayne Airport patiently.

And after a little while (seemed like forever) they saw Daddy!

We're so glad he's home, safe & happy.

Aquarium on Wheels

 The Aquarium of the Pacific on Wheels came to James' school.  The kids have both been the the Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach but were excited nonetheless to be able to touch the sea creatures. 

Piper was especially eager to touch them.  She was a very good about using two fingers and touching softly. 

They touched Enemies, Star Fish, Sea Cucumbers, and  

James was happy that he was brave enough to touch a Shark!

Jog-a-Thon

James participated in his school's jog-a-thon.  He loves running and especially running with friends.

He ran 32 laps.

He is so adorable (I know I'm biased).  I hope he always enjoys running and being active even if sometime it drives me crazy trying to keep up with him.
