40 Days

Deena had her 40 day blessing at St. Nicks last weekend.  Marianna is so proud when she holds Daniella.  This is a MUCH different experience with her as a big sister than when we brought Daniella home.  This time she really "gets it" as an older sister and care giver.  She is AMAZING with the baby!!  Daniella on the other hand, although so loving with her and excited when she is near the baby (rather obsessive with her actually), doesn't still quite get it.  She wants to be whereever Deena is and when she cries is the first one to run all over the house searching for her and saying "Don't Cry!!"  Love my girls!!

Deena (Marianna calls her Deena Weana)...at 7 weeks

I must say that she is starting to really "fill in".  She's an angel when she is sleeping!!

Sisterly Love

 Daniella loves herself some fries!!!

"It's About Time Kitchen Remodel"

 AFTER!!!!....

We could not be more thrilled with the outcome!

Grandma Time

Hot, Hot, Hot

Our backyard deck...a plethera of plastic...but oh so much fun!!

Princess

Dr. Leider calls all girls by the name Princess when he sees them...so I thought it was fitting to dress little D like one prior to her tube surgery.  Everyone got a kick out of her tutu and she thought she was hot stuff! 

Drive Thru Tubing

A loopy Daniella after getting something to "relax" her prior to her tube surgery.  At 18 months she has had 6 ear infections since November and one ruptured ear drum.  These tubes were a long time coming since her first ear infection was at 6 weeks old!!

Happy Fathers Day

Pictures we sent to daddy who left bright and early to play golf on fathers day...lucky duck!

A Special Bond

Happy Fathers Day, Daddy!

BCC Party

At the new member open house at BCC.. Marianna loved getting her face painted!! 

Glider Girl

I have loved the one on one time Daniella and I have gotten when the baby is asleep and Marianna is at school.  There has been a lot of outside time and the glider being one of her favorites!!

A Patient, Patient

Daniella is such a great patient whenever we go to the doctors.  She never makes a peep!  She was getting her BP taken at the ENTs because (finally) she is getting tubes on Tuesday!! Bye Bye Ear infections! (she has had 6 since November!!)

TAYLOR SWIFT!!

Dad of the Year

Marianna and Dj right before the Taylor swift concert...

Back Out Steakhouse

Marianna wanted a filet dinner for her birthday so I suggested outback steakhouse, which she loved and ate her own 6oz filet cooked medium rare :-) she kept asking the next day if we could go back to "the back out steakhouse".... So cute. Best birthday ever! And it was our first time dining out with all three girls and it went great!!

Happy Birthday Marianna

Today I brought Popsicles in to mid vale for mariannas birthday treat. She was so excited...so were all the kids. They loved their jolly rancher Popsicles that were multicolored...everyone kept showing me their tongue and called them magic Popsicles. I loved reading a story to all thud kids too. It was a special day for Marianna!

Big and Little D

I am loving staying home with my girls. Daniella and deena are going to be super close!

A Little Doll

Yesterday at Beverly hills pediatrics Deena got a weight check...she is up to 8 lb 10 oz...getting bigger everyday...she is still a little doll!
