pics of last week

 I met up with a college roommate in a chick file in grapevine last week and for the first time Stella played in the playarea.

 Christophe and Adrien working on grouting the tile in the dining room

 While the boys work hard, Stella and I observed them and played together

 We enjoyed fun walks with duff- Stella loves seeing Adrien riding his bike she gets so excited :)

 These two are having so much fun together, tickling, chasing one another ...my heart melts seeing them play together so well !

 Enjoying a nice breakfast outside with my sweet boys :)

 I took the kids to the mall on saturday morning so Christophe could work alone on the bamboo wall, Stella enjoyed playing with her brother and the other children

 Adrien is so attentive with her :)

 My poor baby got a big bruise he ran into a table in a store but all was better with a little frozen yogurt :)

 The bamboo wall  & finished tile floor :) Chris did an amazing job !! He enjoys doing it but it takes a lot of hard work on top of his long week at work.  I admire his dedication, skills and hard work !  Thank you cheri !!!! You make our house a beautiful home :)

 We also purchased a new buffet and table for the room

 Chris and I got to go out for sushi on saturday night.  Stella woke up and needed to nurse .    The babysitter called me right when we arrived to the restaurant.  I had to go home to nurse her and then came back.  So we ate later but had a wonderful and relaxing time and our sweet baby girl was sound asleep and happy :) so it was well worth it!  I love that we can go out and only be 10 minutes from the house.  We left Adrien with a babysitter for the first time  when he was 18 months... such a big difference this time around.  

 Adrien loves to run.  Every day he runs around the yard and pool, plays fetch with Duff and has so much fun !  He likes chasing Stella and I too :)

 caught a glimpse of a sweet hug

Adrien pretending to drive my car

Happy boy and happy girl

We had a great week , the summer is just going by so fast, two weeks before Adrien starts school again!

We were shopping for a gift for his friend Patrick's birthday last week and Adrien was so excited to try this cool firetruck.  right away he hooked up the little speaker to the dashboard and said:"hi, this Super rescue heroe Adrien, I am ready to go, roger"  too funny!  Adrien said he wanted a fire truck for his birthday :)

 Stella and Adrien play together very nicely, I feel as though each day brings more sibling love and cuddles

 Stella trying to catch her brother

 Stella loves to use the walker everywhere in the house

 She had her first pieces of whole wheat banana bread, and peas last week.  She loved both !

 Adrien and Garrett spent Friday morning at Little Gym and then we all had lunch together at Freebirds

 Chris worked hard and did his magic again putting up tile in the dining room.

 Stella wanted to be with her papa cheri :)

Adrien listening to the instructions, and then ready to work :)

 We went to Patrick's birthday and had a blast !!
