Boating with Sara!

Last weekend we took couple of our good friends with us on our boat: Courtney, Ryan and their lovely daughter Sara. Noah and Sara now each other since they were few months old and they make a great play date couple. Sara has as much energy as Noah so they almost always end up having a blast together.

Mommy and Leah.

Really tired and ready to take a boat nap :) They were just too cute laying there and watching "Mickey Mouse Twice Upon a Christmas".

Leah is 20 weeks old!

My pumpkin is getting bigger and bigger by day. She is very happy and sunny little girl and she has been doing really great in every possible way. It has been really hot in Atlanta for the past couple months so we have not been outside as much as we would like to. However i recently signed up myself and the kids to WMCA and we have been going there at least twice a week now. They have a great daycare that Noah loves and Leah has been ok with it as well. I usually leave them for an hour or so and do my "thing", which is rarely an exercise regimen :) Well, unless i take a yoga class I just sit on a bike with a resistance 1 and read my book :) This works out perfectly since i have no time to read anymore :) After i pick kids from the W care, we go to the outside pool or play a ball if one of the empty studios is available. It's been great and this gives us a chance to change our environment and just be active :)


My little chubbs :)




Just look at these rolls :)Just want to kiss them all day long :)

And here is my Noah eating a Popsicle. We eat a LOT of ice-cream and popsicles around here this summer (even Leah had a fair try :)

Yummy Baby!

Here is my baby girl at 19 weeks...There are no words to describe how wonderful she is. She is just quiet, content and adorable and much, much more :) Oh and did i mention that she sleeps through the night? I put her down at around 9pm and she wakes up at 9am next morning. I am soo lucky! During the day she just hangs out with us and is ok with everything we are doing. Leah loves watching her big brother jump around and she remains very peaceful even in the midst of strong kisses that he showers her with approximately every few minutes. She just takes everything in and rarely cries. I just don't even know how did i end up with such an AWESOME and content baby!

I just want to eat her up!!!

Just how lucky am i to have her...

Sunshine!

I got up this morning, breastfed baby Leah and snuggled up with her as i usually do (before Noah is up) and as I was changing her, I noticed just how wonderful and sunny she looked this morning. A true God's miracle. Everything about her was radiant and happy and she just transferred some of this wonderful energy on me. I immediately grabbed my camera and snapped couple pictures of my sunshine, although the pictures cannot portray of just how beautiful and glowing she really is. I think that we all need to learn something from our kids and just be HAPPY and Joyfull out of our own human nature...the way the Creator designed us to be. Thank you pumpkin for reminding me about this simple but a significant Truth :)

19 weeks old baby Leah :)

Summer days...

I am adoring watching the interaction between Noah and Leah. As Leah gets older she is just mesmerized by her very hyper older brother. Leah constantly has her eye on Noah, watching and studying his every move. And she thinks Noah is hilarious! Leah has to simply look at Noah in a funny way and it sends her into a big, old smile. I can jump around making a fool of myself trying to get a chuckle and nothing happens but Noah can make her laugh by just jumping and making faces. LOL!

And my happy, little boy!

Noah and Izabella

This is a photo shoot i did about month ago with Noah and Iza but i just now had a chance to edit the pictures. It was a beautiful afternoon and we have been just coming back from a strawberry picking when i saw this pretty field of flowers and decided to stop by a take a few spontaneous pictures. The kids were running around and had a blast in spite of the summer heat. I just love watching Noah having a good time with friends. He is really into other kids now and I am thinking of admitting him to a "real" preschool this fall, so that he can learn and play with kids couple times a week. Mother's Morning out is great but i don't know if he is getting much out of it. Time will show but I am definitely not ready for anything more than just couple days a week and just for few hours (I can't get separated from my sugar plum for more than couple hours :) Anyways, here are some of the pictures from our session:

Noah my sweetheart :)

Just love this one! I can't believe his cutness!

Leah is 18 weeks old...plus "E.T" time

Here are some pictures of Ms. Leah with one of our doggies Josh. It was a beautiful later afternoon so me and Leah just went outside to sit on the swing where I noticed how cute she looked in this golden light. It wasn't long after I grabbed my camera and started taking pictures to catch this special moment. I love the pictures with Josh and the one with Lilly in the background. Our doggies are very much part of our family so i wanted to include them somehow so Leah could have memories of them. At the same time Noah was at home with daddy watching one of his shows :) He gets very serious and is wholeheartedly involved when watching TV now. One of his favorite shows are now "Dinosaur Train" and "World Girls". He also loves to watch all the Micky Mouses movies, old or new it doesn't matter. He is obsessed about Micky and Minni. I can't even recall how many time we have watched "Micky Mouse Twice Upon a Christmas"for the past 5 months...probably 100 :) There is still a Christmas spirit in Callahan's house. LOL

Anyways, couple days ago me and the kids went to Wallmart to get some groceries and I also decided to pick up a movie for Noah for our movie night. I gave Noah couple choices along with the animated version of the "Charlotte's Web" but he chose "E.T" instead. I was little hesitant but he insisted so i gave up and we went home with "E.T". As the evening came, we all sat in front of our big screen to watch watch our first real movie together. I have never seen Noah being so involved in any movie as he was in this one. I thought it would be too mature for him but NO he loved it all the way until the very end. He really got involved in the story plot. Yes this boy loves drama. Where there is drama, there is Noah :)

Here are some pictures of our 18 weeks old princess Leah:

My sweetheart!
