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 !!

new project , paint and sibling love :)

 stella loves self feeding and she could eat her weight in blueberries , and raspberries :)


 Christophe has a new remodeling project: the dining room.   We are all excited !  in the next few weeks he will be repainting the dining room (he actually did that this past weekend), laying down tile (next weekend), putting up a bamboo wall, and getting new dining room table  .... :)
 Adrien took a picture of Stella and I
 Adrien is always so eager and happy to help, he did a great job painting the windows :)
 Stella is getting a lot more social and vocal :)
 She is laughing out loud now 
 Adrien enjoyed painting on the floor before Chris tore out the carpet
  Adrien just love to play around with her and make her laugh.  He was making her chase him with the car and Stella just LOVED it.

 Our new backyard ... one foot longer :) Christophe laid down the sod (I actually helped this time when the kids were asleep- it's hard work)
 We chose a very light color for the wall  "salt glaze" - carpet was torn out (YAY ) check out next week to see the new tile we picked out :)
 My sweet artist , Adrien decided to make a few paintings for his papy's birthday and his aunt Lara's birthday :)
 and Stella discovered Adrien's old walker and was so excited to use it !
I was busy taking the garbage out on the curb this morning, and my neighbor came out to chat a little, so it took a little longer  ... when I came back I found Adrien talking sweetly to Stella in her room.  She had been crying so super big brother came to cheer her up.  I love that he is so attentive with her and love that Stella just lights up when she sees her brother.  It just makes me feel so good !!
