At the zoo we tried posing with a sloth bear that is not sloth by any means. 
They carry their young on the back; the only bear to do so.
We watched a family of otters walk the balance beam, play in the grass and then swim
Sprinklers saved us from getting over heated in over 100 F.
We have been swimming at a local pool for only $2 a day. It has a toddler pool that goes up to three and a half feet deep. Jeremy comes right after work and joins the fun.

Sonia sat patiently. She has been doing her long hair every day. I even had time to add some layers. After cutting Jeremy's hair for seven years, this job was done in about twenty minutes.

Feo said his first words this month... first mama even though I have been teaching him papa. Then the next day "ball." He only says them when he really needs one or the other. The biggest ball he could find while I was busy making dinner. 
We all enjoy "arbuz" but Feo loves to roll it around.

My mom sent us a plasma car to commemorate the event. Sonia loves it.

With studying painting, sculpture and doing some artwork. We went all five weeks and only once i had to park at the meters therefore cost $3. At the end Sonia got a gift bag with oil pastels; she draws everyday now.

Not a pretty sight but little girls enjoyed following it. Sonia was thrilled with it.
Jeremy's whole face was swollen, his eyes were shut and later it spread over his whole body. I was trying to be as nice as I could without erupting into a deep laughter every now and then. What is better? Crying or laughing. By hte way, his face is much better now. Anyways he's got more itchy red rush all over his body. It is not pretty or fun since he seems to be turning into one huge red blister... 
They make ice cream right there so it is like or even better than home made.
Bears picture for papa to sheer him up one day.
Sonia and Feo love their nature class with miss Nancy. That day Sonia saw a frog eating crickets. After miss Nancy told everyone that frog eat crickets, Sonia raised her hand and shared with everyone that snakes eat frogs. 
Valerie and I through a shower for Mary Beth for her new little baby girl. We had so much fun getting ready and I enjoyed hosting at my home for the first time. Thanks to Heather who was visiting us, I felt everything was in its place!
Feo in his new Sunday best. Even with cool matching socks. They only stayed on him for the picture...
