Chocolate factory

Last weekend was super busy for us but oh so much fun! We stayed on a boat throughout the weekend with a little break in chocolate factory on Saturday and then on Sunday we met up with our friends Eva and Zack and their daughter Thalia. We had so much fun swimming in a lake, cooking out and then going to a water-park at Lake Lanier Island. However, the real fun for Noah was going to a chocolate factory for Iza's 5th birthday party. Little man has never had chocolate before so this was his debut and let me tell you he made a quite an impression on everybody with his ability to shovel all of his chocolate before anybody else. It was hysterical to watch him eat it. He was ready for his nap when the party started so i was a little afraid that he may not last too long. Boy was i wrong. He could have partied way longer than they anticipated us to. As soon as he had a taste of his first chocolate he was in real heaven! He just kept asking for more and more. O boy- i hope i didn't create a chocolate monster over the weekend. As soon as he party was over, Noah got a real sugar rush running around with balloons and jumping with joy! We had a blast! Happy birthday Iza! Here are the snapshots from Iza's birthday party:

Summer photo session!!!

Its been a while since i wanted to do a quick summer session with my kids. It was supposed to be very spontaneous and fun and it ended up being that and more. It was hot outside and we did have couple mishaps like stepping on a huge ant hill and getting bit by the ants but after-all, we had a lot of fun outside and came out with some pretty cool pictures at the end.Noah loved the concept and he wanted to blow flowers over and over again :) It was great and dreamy with pink flowers spread out everywhere. Ahhh!

My sweet boy blowing flowers. He is just dreamy and i adore this picture so much for various reasons such as childhood innocence, joy of summer and child dreams, just to name a few that come to my mind when i look at it.

Overjoy! May you always be as overjoyed in your life as you were when i was taking this picture of you.

Just being a boy!

Reaching for the butterfly :)



Now time for Miss Leah:

She is sitting all by herself now!!! My little lady. Just love the sun flare.




I love her sooo much!


LOVE THIS!!!

I am so happy that i learned photography (and still learning) so i can take such pictures of my kids :)



Noah and Leah soo sweet.



Not too happy about this last kiss :)

Naked rocks!

Couple pictures of Noah from our weekend on a boat. No front views this time, just picture of his sweet back :) He loves to run naked :) My little wild, gipsy boy! You are just like your mommy (although I am not running naked in public) LOL. Anyways, Noah feels very comfortable in his skin and I am very happy he is this way. I remember in Poland when i was growing up, all the kids on the beach were running naked and no one really cared. Kids were just kids. This is not this case here. But I can assure you, it is different in Callahan's house, where everyone is welcome to run naked :) LOL


Noah spraying golden shower :)

Comparison picture between Noah and Leah. Although Noah was 5 months on this picture and Leah is 6 months. They are both eating sweet potatoes. They both love them.

My stars!

I am just now posting the pictures i took of the kiddos 2 weeks ago. I had been busy with cleaning the house, potty training Noah and getting him gifts for the potty training :) He is doing great and he rarely has an accident. He has been getting some cool gifts lately for successfully using the potty and he has already collected quite a few items :) His playroom is full and Noah spends a lot of time in there playing and rearranging the toys. Me and Leah are frequent guests in Noah's playroom and in the afternoons, after the kids nap, you can usually find the three of us just playing on a carpet in the playroom. We have been also going to a pool lately and Noah is enjoying water as much as his mommy and his little sis (no wonder, we are all water signs ranging from two Scorpios to Aquarius and Pisces). Noah is doing really great though and next year we will have to sign him for the swimming classes. He can now swim (using his swimmies) all he way across the pool by himself. It also helps that he is swimming in a lake almost every weekend now :)

Noah's playroom full of toys :) I never had even one fourth of what he has and he still dreams of having more. LOL. Poor Leah is not too happy on that bean bag while mommy is taking a picture :)


Noah playing with his new racket he received for collecting 16 stars. I am so proud of him!

Pell City...

Every year during the summer we try to go to Pell City, Paul's hometown to visit Paul's parents. Usually Paul's sister Penny is there with her kids: Chandler and Evan but this year only Evan came because Chandler had to attend a summer school. Anyways, Evan is 10 years old and he is the sweetest boy ever. He loves to play with Noah and Noah loves to spend time with Evan. Evan is COOL. He knows all the computer games and he has cool gadgets. On a top of it, he played swords with Noah. It doesn't get any better than this for Noah :) Everybody is a friend to Noah who plays knights. LOL

My little princess...I just love to put this dress on you:)
