Monkey Joe's

Took the kids to lunch at Moe's, where we met up with Caden's little friend Rachel, and her mom and baby brother. Then we took all the kids to Monkey Joe's. It was nice and quiet there as most kids have gone back to school, and they had a great time.

Rachel.

Mia put her doll, Little Mia, on some pillows to sit at the dinner table and she served her some of her own food... rice and beans, pork chops and tostones. I think both Mia's enjoyed their meal!

We babysat for my friend's son, Dominic... he stayed overnight and the kids loved having him here with us.

Breakfast!

Visiting the Grandparents

Mia and Noah were happy to be reunited after our trip to Hawaii... we drove to FL to pick up the boys from Abuelo and Abuela Falcon's house.

Caden likes sitting in Abuelo's chair.

Mia's Back-to-School Party

Friends Lorel, Adyen, Hayes, Stella, Evan and Ashley came over for a back-to-school play date at our house. The Slip 'n Slide was a big hit!

The Alphabet Song

The boys wanted to see themselves on video so they sang The Alphabet Song. :)

The boys being silly before bedtime. I love to hear their giggles!

We had Ethan over for a playdate and I took the boys to Einstein bagels for a breakfast outing.
