Diego goes to school

Little boy- BIG backpack! Like his sister- Diego had no problem waving bye-bye as he set off on his new adventure to preschool!

Now that Diego is THREE- he can begin preschool- he will get to finish out this school year for the next 5 weeks. He goes to school 4 days a week- which is quite a change. He rides the bus to and from school- which at this point, is still exciting- even though he has to get up and get going a bit earlier in the morning! He will continue to work on his speech goals with therapy 1 x a week and then when summer comes we will start some more home based therapy. All and all, we are very thankful to live in a community that is supportive in early childhood development- Thanks Delaware!

happy birthday little bug!

THREE! (guess there's a hint in the picture!) we had such a great time celebrating Diego's birthday Easter w/ family and friends. we are sad we have been a bit behind on photos- too bad we have misplaced??lost?? gone crazy?? and can't find OUR CAMERA! Maybe not the best thing to do weeks before we'll meet our newest....guess we have about 3 more weeks or so to find/get a camera!!

YEE-Haw!

Mia had Western day at Preschool - as you can see, she is very shy and does not like to draw attention to herself...NOT!

BIRD HOUSE 2011

We made our annual bird house for 2011! Amazingly, all the bird houses from 2007-2010 all have residents! Sweet! or, ahem, Tweet!!

ahh....

after many pics- we managed to catch a rather cool bubble pic- we tried with Diego- but he doesn't exactly stay still long enough for our poor old cameras....

what a grin

rockin' out after dinner

The DEBUT!

Mia is very excited to model her NEW Spring/Summer 2011 Swimsuit line- we think it is rather cute as well! Will be FUN this summer

more SNOW! okay, lets jump in!

Building the ice castle...

Oh, Mia...

I would imagine that 'bubble bath beards' feel better than 'snow beards' but fun for the Dude anyway...

After a roll down the hill...

FORT!

As annoying? sad? that it is to see more of this white stuff (sorry, major spring fever here- lots that I want to do before the big addition!) Anyway, enough snow/ice, etc that there was no school up north here in Delaware- which makes for a nice day not to have to BE anywhere- no preschool, etc! woo-hoo! So after a lazy morning eating breakfast (no electricity!) we headed out to play because after Mommy shoveled the driveway she had found it to be heavy- but excellent packing snow! Since the electric had return to grace us with its presence we knew we'd have a warm home to curl up in once we'd finished some outdoor fun! SO, that complete- NOW, please, we are ready for the sight of little green shoots popping up from the ground - this mama wants to get some planting and gardening in!

Rollerskating debut!

This is how Diego rolls-
b

Up with Daddy! Go team go!

The 'classic' skates- way too heavy!

Wow, blast from the past for Rod and I- a rollerskating rink! we had a great time trying this with the kids- we naively started out with 'real' rollerskates that weight a ton and were totally uncontrollable...then we wised up and got the fisher-price style that worked much better. Thankfully this place was very kid friendly, so I could be out there in my shoes . They even had scooters and strollers available. Overall, we thought it was quite fun- I can't wait to go back sometime when I can actually get on some skates myself....

Some snowy day fun!

Had a great day playing in the snow with the kiddies- fun trying to get a sledding shot without getting run over in the process- this one was the best I could manage...
