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.

Learning to crawl

A Blast from the past!

We found these on our computer, Awesome huh!! Can you believe Zach put this thing on! NAST!
Awe the Hummingbush. Oh the memories!

Lizzie.... or Zach?

I got to spend some quality time with the Masoner children this week. I got this picture of Lizzie and Adria says it looks sooo much like Zach.


I also caught one of her smiling. Noah seems to make her smile and laugh the best. I guess when I think about it, he's always been able to do that!

Response to Lucy from Elle

Dear Lucy,
Thanks for your encouragement and prayers! I'm doing much better food-wise. I'm drinking formula now and I'm getting used to some other foods. Thanks for your inspiration!
Love, your cousin,
Elle

What tastes better? The gift or the wrapping??


Elle is rolling a lot, not yet crawling - either way, I don't know how this happened.

Happy New Year - Kresta Style

Happy New Year!


Aunt Kresta provided the New Year's fireworks for the nieces and nephews this year, and it was a big hit...except the matches didn't want to light .


Everybody was really good and sat in the chairs so that nobody got too close or got hurt!! Good job every one!!


The sparklers were by far the biggest hit. We came with probably 15 boxes, and all of them were used in just a few short minutes.


Even though it was cold, Sofia kept her good spirits and smiles on the whole time.


Buster loved the sparklers, but I think he kept trying to eat his. Big high five to Amber for keeping watch over him, and for being a trooper and playing with Sofia.


Aunt Kresta finally gave in and let everyone light matches, after they picked them up out of the street - don't ask how they got there. But a good time was had, and everybody was safe!

Don't believe all you can see.

I like this video because with computer is very easy to distort the reality.

Good wishes for the next year

We wish the best of all of you, that means:
GOOD HELTH,
MORE LOVE, and
CONTINUED FAITH IN CHRIST.

LOVE
THE PEREZ FAMILY
