After weeks and weeks of working on Tony's house, we decided to have a pool party and also celebrate JoJo's birthday at the same time. I've been spending lots of time helping to renovate both Tony and my parents home (since someone drove into it, destroying the kitchen and family room) before we move in. Since I have been doing this, Jen and Peter have been staying with Jen's parents in San Jose. So my point to all this jibber-jabber is that it was really nice to be able to spend time with them at the party. Recently Peter is growing like a weed and has the Childs head, it's huge! Also, he has lost a lot of his baby hair just like Kaylene did at the same age. Anyway, it was nice to relax for once and not work all day/night on either house. Enjoy the pics!

Just as we did Kaylene's blessing, we did Peter's blessing on a Saturday so that more of my family and Jen's family could be there. We also did my brother's daughter Molly at the same time, since they had been waiting for me to be there as well and since we just moved back to California, it was perfect timing. Molly went first and cried throughout much of the blessing. Then Peter and guess what? He cried throughout much of it too! I guess he wanted to be just like his cousin! Anyway, afterward we all ate out at "Shooters", a great wing place, that's much much much nicer in many ways than that "other" place. It was really nice to have the whole family together for this event.

Here are some random cute pictures of our new little cutie Peter. Enjoy!

Jen and I have been terribly busy since Peter arrived and also since we're in the process of moving back to California. But better now than never. This time both grandparents were here to enjoy the fun. So without further ado, here are the photos from Easter 2010.

More than a year ago, one of the very few words Kaylene learned to say was "bus". She always pointed them out everywhere we went. As her language improved, she would start to say that she wanted to go on the bus and I kept saying "We'll go on a bus someday, I promise". Well, that day finally came. My parents have been here visiting because of the new arrival of baby Peter, so I thought it was the perfect opportunity for all of us to go for a bus ride. That day when I told Kaylene we were going on a bus, she was super super excited and that's all she could talk about. I kept reminding that we first had to buy tickets and so she kept saying "we gotta get tickets for the bus" over and over and over and over and over again!!! Once we finally boarded the bus, she was so excited to have her "own seat" and absolutely loved looking high above all the other cars. Once we arrived to the mall, Grandma and Grandpa had purchased one of Kaylene's first build a bear teddy bears, but it started to get dirty, so we went to the build a bear workshop store to get him clean. We had dinner at the food court and then let Kaylene play at the malls play area. When we were done, Kaylene was truly surprised to learn that we would once again board a bus to return home and she did her classic "Yaaayyy, while jumping up and down". I'm so glad that I was finally able to fulfill my promise I had made to her. You've gotta see the pics.

Peter was 5 weeks and 2 days early, so as soon as he was born, he went to the NICU (neonatal intensive care unit). We asked them how long he would be there and they said 12-14 days. Well... he come home today, only being there for 8 days! We're are so blessed for answered prayers and blessings. It's so wonderful to have him home. We kept telling Kaylene that he was coming home and when she finally met Peter, she was all smiles all the time! She's also been very careful with him and started to sing to him as soon as he was home. Check out the pics.
