Love of mani/pedi

Since Gabi was 4 years old, she's been biting her nails. We tried everything and nothing has been working... until recently! She loves getting manicures and I recently took her for her first pedicure. She loved it too. So, because either we take her for $5 mani or I do it at home, she is getting better and actually first time in a very long time has some nails:)

Gymnastics

Gabi is doing another session of gymnastics. She made some significant progress. She is still on level 2 but we are hopeful that she will move up shortly. Here is what she's been working on for very long time and finally was able to achieve this week:

Gabi's writings

Gabi started to express her feelings by writing notes. Most of the time it is when she doesn't like something, other times these are adorable notes to her friends.







Gabi likes to give kisses. Patrick loves to hug

I am enjoying every second with my little people. They grow way to fast. I want to remember every kiss and every hug. I love every morning with them when we snuggle together, their warm bodies along mine, their legs on me trying to be close as possible. Gabi seems such a grown up but Patrick is still my little baby. His tiny hands around my neck, on my cheeks, and his requests for "huggie." I know I will miss it a lot.

Patrick was praying this evening. Every time he made a mistake he started from the beginning. After few times I lost my patience and finally said that God knows what he meant to say. Patrick replied: "He finished it for me?" - "he surely did" I replied. He peacefully felt asleep in 2 seconds. I thought it was too cute! :)

Here are some most recent pictures, taken randomly:



Patrick is in charge of cleaning up shoes. He insisted to have me taken this picture of his outstanding job:)
