Sophia the Daredevil

For a girl who used to be afraid of the swings, Sophia has made tons of progress. She now loves to go down the big cement slide at Codornices Park. She couldn't get enough of it. She is becoming quite the dare-devil. While Thalia and Steve were at home taking a nap, I took Sophia to the park, partly to scout out locations for photoshoots. I love this park! I have four photoshoots lined up for the next week and hopefully at least one can happen here. Afterwards we had a little refreshment at Masse's.

Happy Birthday, Sheila!

The girls sang a song for you, Sheila. Here is the link to the video (its the last one):

Matiz

Yesterday I did a photoshoot with Matiz, Toscana's new sister. Matiz was born on August 2nd, three months ago. Toscana and Sophia know each other from Wawasi and they get along great.

Happy Birthday, Harley!

Sheila and Mike's dog, Harley, turns 3 today.

Thalia and I before the parade (another view)

Here you see Thalia in the reflection, watching all the kids dance at the Halloween party right before the big parade. I like this photo because you can see how she is with me when I drop her off. It still takes her awhile to get used to being in the classroom, but by the time I pick her up at the end of the day, she is all smiles and loves to show me around the play yard and classroom. Today was a big day for her: she pushed me out the door and didn't cry when I left. Another mom who was there when I left told me that Thalia looked very proud of herself after she pushed me out the door.
