BIRTHMOM!

I wanted to update you all on how it is going with Maria and kids here. We are having so much fun! The kids are getting along great (other than the occasional tiff) and it is so much fun to have them here.

Today we went to the zoo. We were all completely exhausted and everyone fell asleep on the way home. After naps, we mostly hung out here except for a little outing to the candy, pet and party stores.


On a funny note - Maya calls Maria, "birthmom" rather than "Maria." At first it was "birthmom 'Ria" and we told her to just call her "Maria," so now she shortened it to just "birthmom." Imagine the looks at the zoo if people heard her yelling "BIRTHMOM." A little while ago Maria was yelling for her kids to come downstairs. Maya said, "Oh, I gotta go. Birthmom is calling me too." Then I heard her say, "Yeah birthmom" once she got downstairs. Too funny!


I haven't taken very many picture so I need to start taking more, but here is a preview.

Maya trying out her new vanity and Japanese kimono (sp?) that Maria's Mom sent her.

Brave Andre was not afraid to pet the stingrays.
