Happy Birhday Rachel

Happy Birthday Rachel! Sorry I didn't get this posted until after Midnight.

Happy Blog-iversary.

I was looking back through this blog at work tonight and I was rather blown away that we started this blog on Feb 7 2007. It is now Feb 8 2008. 1 year, can you believe it? So, family, in the reflective nature of anniversaries I pose you these questions three. Are we happy that we started doing this? Do we feel that it is something that has helped us keep in better contact with each other and our lives? And are we going to keep it up? I hope so. I have fully enjoyed this, getting to see pictures of Adam's house and the warehouse they work at, all the fun trips that Rachel takes, and all the rest. I am not always the best at keeping in touch. Especially since I have an almost 4 year old to chase around the house every day. Though I shouldn't use that as an excuse. Especially since Riley is in such a stage of wanting to call EVERY single person in my phone rolodex. But, regardless, I wanted to write a happy blog-iversary entry to say that I am proud of us for keeping this up. I think it is fantastic.

Riley-ism

momma to Riley: you're a cutie. A cutie-patootie.
Riley to momma: No. A genius.

Riley Practicing his Name

He was able to do this all on his own. We didn't help him write the letters at all. He even knew almost all the letters in his name. When he got stuck we asked him to say the sound and then tell us the letter that makes that sound and he figured it out. He's such a smartie for an almost 4 year old. :)

Philippino Wedding

In Jan. I went to a Philippino Wedding. Thinking it was going to be a huge cultural difference from an American Wedding. Suprise Suprise it was just the same as any other Catholic Wedding there were just a bunch of Philippinos in the church.
This is Tia, Jesus' niece. She was obviously the flower girl and one of the reasons we went to New Jersey for the wedding. This is Bebina, the bride and Jesus' aunt.
Jesus' Dad Jesus and I.

Me and Jesus' Mom, Evangelina

Nutcraker Ballet

Here we are at the Nutcracker Ballet in D.C. This was Cassie's first Ballet and she's not a fan. Best Quote of the night....Cassie says "They don't talk it's just dancing". First pic is Scott and the conductor pointing at the nutcracker.
Next is Cassie and her friend Kerry. Isn't the theatre beautiful. Finally it's me and the boys.
