A SUPER GOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!!

Jake's Flip in Puerto Rico

Zach learned how to put a video on YouTube. This is Jake doing a flip at a waterfal in Adjuntas.

Hi from Zach and Amber

Since we don't have any kids, and our lives are just school and work, we have to post other people's kids :)

Amber finally got a chance to hang out with Luz when she was AWAKE!

Zach says Luz sleeps ALMOST as much as Meli.

We love this bebe

Priceless / really scary.

PEEK-A-BOO

It is cute to see Lucy every morning smiling to us when we open the door of her room but it is cuter to see Lucy every morning doing the PEEK-A-BOO thingy.

Elle's new toy

Elle already has convictions when it comes to crawling - she'd rather not. All she wanted to do was walk around holding our hands - so we decided to get her a new toy. And she loves it. (Elle's new toy was made possible, in part, by a generous grant from the Daleen S. King Foundation.)






Elle did some other fun things lately: She visited Chinatown in Queens for the new year and learned to say mama!

Elle's first concert, a success

Elle's first concert was at the Port Washington Public Library. She saw the Modigliano String Quartet (from Paris!). Elle preferred the Ravel over the Beethoven, and assured us that she loved the Wolf piece, as wel. Some people gave her the "Oh brother, here we go..." look, but Elle proved them all wrong by enjoying the entire concert with just a few minor coos. We' couldn't be prouder!

Dragon? Where?!

Zach and Amber had a fabulous time in Italy this weekend. We missed you guys!

Happy Valentine's Day!!

Lucy wanted to wish all her aunts, uncles, cousins, and Grandparents a very happy valentine's day. She loves you all very much. (And so do her parents!)

Elle's Eight-month Update

Eleanor's is starting to crawl and pull herself up on the furniture. Her favorite food is sweet pototoes, but blended beef vegetable soup comes in at a close second. Recently, she loves arias from La Boheme and the version of "Somewhere over the rainbow" by Israel Kamakawiwo'ole. She definately does not like the soundtrack to Prince of Egypt. Go Figure.
