Busy as a Bee

We have been pretty busy this past couple of weeks. Here are a few highlights, not necessarily in this order....

We visited our friend Ish and his family. Check out Brandon, Luke and the shark.

They have several pools and water fun parks in their community, so we like to visit them and play. Check out this play set that is in about 2 ft of water. Their is a bucket at the top that fills with water and splashes the play set.

Here are our two water babies. Now that it's hot we are in the pool everyday and the girls are totally fearless. Thank god for floaties.

Maya and Sahara made a father's day card for Papa Epi and their daddy. Pretty cute. On Father's day Sido Paul, Papa Epi, Nader, Bella and Maya and Sahara went to Oceanside pier to enjoy some time together. Maya and Sahara had all kinds of cool things to report when they got back. Like the dolphins they saw and the fish that were caught by people on the pier.

Here's Maya taking care of her baby while watching the Laker's in the NBA Finals. Both Maya and Sahara can chant Kobe's name. Unfortunately the Laker's were annihilated in game 6. We are all very sad about this.

We visited baby Gianna and her family the other day. She is such a cutie. Maya and Sahara love to kiss her and say her name.

Here's out little Dominic looking handsome as usual.

What is it about sleeping babies that make them so adorable?

Maya had the worst day of her life last weekend. We started the day in the jacuzzi, where she slipped and cut the inside of her lip. It was so deep that we took her to emergency in case she needed stitches. Here's a picture inside of the emergency room. When we got home she was stung by a bee. And as if that wasn't enough, later that day she was sitting in a chair that tipped backwards and landed on the back of her head. She has never done so much crying in one day. Thank goodness that day is over.

Here's a tender moment of Papa Epi and Sahara watching TV together. Papa Epi came back with us from Washington State and stayed with us until last Monday. He finally went home even though we all wished he could have stayed longer. He had done a really good job spoiling us. He cooked us breakfast, lunch and dinner everyday. The girls still wake up asking for Papa's pancakes. We love you Papa Epi !!!
