Sunset House

I took this picture while Adrianna was enjoying a short motorcycle ride with our home teacher.  She has always loved motorcycles, and she has been itching at a chance to ride one.  While they were going up the street I turned and saw the beautiful colors of the sunset which highlighted the house perfectly.

Preschool

Adrianna started Preschool in August, we got her into a program that is 4 days a week from 1pm to 4pm. Adrianna loves going to Preschool.  She has three wonderful teacher who have their hands full with her but enjoy her energy and enthusiasm.  So far things have been going great and we are thrilled to watch her enjoy learning.  Though she had a hard time seeing her go, Sarah is pretty thrilled to have a few hours of peace in the afternoons as this time coincides with Alicia's naps. So far the hardest part about Preschool has been getting Alicia to come home once she is inside the classroom. Alicia wants to stay with her sister and have fun too.

 

Fall Soccer

 

Soccer started this Fall, and I dove into the action coaching again. I really enjoy running around with the kids. Though I try to teach them the objective of the game, for the most part if I can get them to run around for 45 minutes or more I consider it a success. I love the above picture as it is one of the few where everyone is running with a ball. Usually one kid is distracted by a butterfly, another is off doing somersaults, Adrianna is tackling her friend Harrison, and well you get the picture.

Reading with Tio David

Uncle David came over to the house on their recent visit to Colorado. He came by to join us for Soccer Practice and we recruited him to read to the girls. They enjoyed having a new narrator. Both girls enjoyed reading with their uncle. Alicia couldn't just allow her sister to have all the attention. She made it a point to get into the middle of the action and to be the center of attention.

Thank you David for spending you evening with us, the girls had a blast and can't wait for the next reading session!

Blog Break

I did not expect summer to come to such an abrupt halt. With Adrianna starting preschool, the whole family starting Soccer, and the wonderful cool weather; Summer is gone and I have not had a chance to blog all the fun we've had.  I hope to catch up soon. So this blog will hopefully be inundated with new posts, just because I haven't blogged does not mean we haven't been keeping busy.

Diaper Loading

A friend of ours thought this was a fittingly geeky shirt for our daughter. I have to say I couldn't agree more, I love this shirt. Though I will say, we have been pretty lucky with Alicia as she only downloads once a day!

Thank you for the shirt Amy!!!!!

Kimonos

July 28th, 2008

Grandma & Grandpa Fedele recently went to Japan to visit their newest Granddaughter. They brought home these very cute pajama kimono outfits for the girls. They have a touch for finding perfect gifts, pretty much any adorable clothes for the girls or something with penguins for Sarah. They also found a cute glass penguin figurine, sorry no picture. Thank you so much for thinking of us while you were off on the other side of the world!

Thank you Dad!

Well Dad, the correcting you did of our English while we were growing up has paid off!

Our little menace

Alicia learned the potential fun of stuffing her onesie with blocks the other day. I recently put together a shoe organizer that used plastic connectors. It so happened that the set fully assembled had about 20 extra connectors, which Alicia thought were the best toys in the world. I noticed that she was jingling when she walked and soon realized that she was putting the connectors into her onesie. I shot this video of her in action. I especially love the little hip shake at the end of the clip!

Sky Sox

July 26th, 2008

As part of our church calling, as the Young Single Adult representatives for our ward, we joined the Singles for an evening at the Sky Sox Game. We enjoyed the game, Adrianna's favorite moment was meeting Sox the Fox, unfortunately this was probably Alicia's least favorite moment. Both girls especially enjoyed the company of the single guys. We enjoyed a night out as a family!

The best view of the game is of course on top of daddy's shoulders.
