Summer Days

Well, it has been a very long time since my last post. I won't bore you with unnecessary verbage, just give a brief commentary on the videos. As you can see the kids are growing like weeds. Ezra has become a little daredevil - running, climbing and jumping is how he spends his days. Mila, on the other hand, is content 'reading' her books and drawing pictures of horses.

Miscellaneous Pics

Here are some recent shots of Easter, Ezra's par-te, the sous-chef and the Lehigh Acres Fair.

Mila's latest Masterpiece...

This is what happens when Manuela talks on the phone for 10 min. We figure she didn't have any paper on hand so she used Ezra's face instead...poor unsuspecting Ezra.

Birthday Boy

On March 20th we quasi-celebrated Ezra's first birthday. Since his birthday fell on Holy Thursday, the actual 'party' will take place sometime after the Triduum. Nevertheless, since he is still rather young, he was allowed to break his bread and water fast and enjoy a birthday cupcake.

PS. Wishing all a wonderful Easter!

Salt, Salt!

Here a few pics of the family during my spring break which we spent wasting away in Margaritaville, aka the Florida keys.

Homoerectus

Here is a short clip capturing Ezra's new found freedom. He is now fully bipedal - preferring the drunkard swagger to all other modes of locomotion. This was shot weeks before his first birthday!

Milestones...

Now that my boy has these two rudimentary life functions mastered, I figure it is time to move on to his next stage in development, namely, refinement in his use of fine motor skills (i.e. command of the 'pincer grip') and metaphysics. He should be nimbly picking up peas and demonstrating the 5 proofs for the existence of God by his first birthday.
