Her first year has seemed to fly by. It is so amazing to watch her grow and watch who she is becoming. She is amazing, we love her so much!

Sprinkler Day. What's better than that?

Beanerism

Another Beanerism to brighten your day.

"Look dad, they are washing the field" Her way of saying the sprinklers are watering the field.

Her Party

We celebrated Cici turning 10 yesterday. The day began with some pancakes followed by a trip to see this special mouse. She has always wanted to go to Chuck E Cheese for a birthday, so we finally got that crossed of her bucket list.

Though we have been here many times, we have never seen Chuck give away free tickets. All the kids lined up behind the mouse, had to sing a few songs with actions then the tickets went flying!

This is one of Cici's favourite games. It is a jump rope game, jump over the flashing lights instead of a rope. She is really good at it.

Her sister also is good at it.

After we were Chucked out, we went to meet the rest of our families at a great park.

I can't believe my little girl is 10!

Well, summer is now officially over. School has started. The girls went only for half and hour today. There are only 12 new students in the school so they had all the new students meet in the library and let them know where they are going tomorrow. Tomorrow is a full day and I think they might be finding out who their teacher is for the year. J Man starts preschool next week. Fall, the start of new things. I love it.

She is 10!

10 years ago today I was the proud mama of a little girl, my first child. I was so proud of myself as well as I did one of the hardest physical things I ever had done to that point. As you can see I am still in my shirt, we had just arrived at the hospital when we realized that my little Cici was about to be born. In fact, she almost arrived before the doctor! It was not the kind of delivery I ever expected but it was the one we got! After that experience I realized natural delivery wasn't so scary and in fact did it 2 more times!

Grace and Karis

Many things have changed in 10 years, Paul's hair for example.

Grace and Paul

One thing has not changed. Our love for this precious girl. In fact, it grows more and more as we get to know her. She adds so much life to our family and her adventurous nature causes me to be amazed daily. I wish in many ways that I could be more like her. She is amazing.

Happy Birthday Cici!

Beanerism

Beanerism- an English saying reinvented by our second daughter Beaner.

"Gold Fish"- I am sure you can guess... "Go Fish"

"I'll be the divider"- which means "I'll be the dealer"
