Summer So Far...

We are off to a wonderful start this summer! Sorry to those of you who have been checking in with no new updates. Between gymnastics, swim lessons, play dates, visitors, and trips, we have simply been having too much fun to stay home and blog! So here is a little catch-up...

Play-date at Julianna's in Boca - the girls love playing with Jules, especially Bianca. What does Bianca not like? Having her picture taken as evidenced by these photos where she refused to look at the camera. She must take after her Mommy...

At least Ellia is a little more cooperative!

Just one of the big girls!

I guess no one wanted to look at the camera here...lunch must have been too yummy!

The girls both recently started gymnastics class. Bianca is in a class on her own but, Ellia is with Mommy. Here Bianca is doing work on the balance beam...

We have another little monkey on our hands who loves to swing!

Auntie Parissa came in town to visit us for a few days...the girls LOVE seeing her!

Finally, Bianca started swim lessons recently. These videos are from her second lesson. Before her first lesson I was bracing for kicking, screaming, crying. But, Bianca surprised me and has been extremely cooperative with whatever her swim instructor asks her to do. In fact, when the lessons end, she gets upset. So we signed her up for two lessons a week instead of once/week but, she would gladly go every day! I will have to update with more swim videos soon because by her third lesson she was already swimming a little on her own. We are really proud of her!

The only thing that makes the end of swim lessons a little easier is the ice cream waiting for us!
