Cienna - 3 Years, 7 Months... Kaylee - 1 Year, 2 Months!

Great times together started at the zoo with the Geithman's.  Then headed to San Diego to help Uncle Joe with a very successful electrical lighting upgrade before we headed back home to Isla's Garden Birthday Bash!  We got to spend even more time together when we met at Livingson Park.  While watering the neighbors lawn as they were away on vacation the girls enjoyed getting soaked in their sprinklers each day before bath time!  The next weekend Mommy had a fantastic night away to San Francisco with her girlfriends and was also very happy to get back home to the family!  Thanks again to neighbor Mark we were joined by Brandon and Sandra and got to head to our second Angels game!  We tried to get fancy with a batch of IPA which we'll see how it turns out next month.  Then after all is said and done we lucked out with a new addition to our family.  Porter is a 75% Black Lab, 25% Australian Sheppard mix, and is very calm (for a puppy) and smart.  Although it happened so fast that we aren't sure exactly how we ended up with a puppy, he is a great compliment to the family so far!  He is great with the girls and visa versa!

Cienna was excited to go back to Pre-School for summer session (August) after taking the month of July off.  She taught herself how to swing side to side and is working hard on mastering hopscotch.  She also had 4 more weeks of swim lessons in and has greatly improved, definitely in comfort and starting to grasp the concept for sure.  Her drawings are getting much more detailed and she loves to play games,do puzzles, and she would say she loves princesses, fairies, flowers, and stars... oh yeah and unicorns too.

Kaylee is running now and loves to climb and maneuver herself with any obstacle she finds!  She loves to communicate (especially when she gets what she wants) using both her signs and her words including "Thank You" which is adorable.  She loves to blow bubbles, I think because she loves to say bubble!  She has also finally discovered the fun of the sand box! She did have a rough patch this month which started with Roseola, in the middle of which she got an MMR shot, then an allergic reaction consisting of a rash on her face, neck, and arms from a new sunscreen, in the middle of which she got a bee sting on the tip of her finger!  The diagnostic part of the pattern was the worst, except for a few days with the Roseola she was happy Kaylee!
