MOOOOOOOMMMMMMM........

So....this is what happens when Michael is asked to entertain his sister.

She really doesn't seem to mind.

She is always attentive and smiley when big brother plays with her.

Good Morning!

I love my mornings with my daughter!
She wakes up around 6 or 7 with big smiles,
and large hand and leg movements.
I change her and then we talk and smile
for a few minutes before she gets fed.
She is definitely a morning girl like her momma:)

Check Out My Curly Mohawk

When Michael saw this picture he said, "Aww, look at sissy's funny hair."

Lovely Visitors

Michael loves him some Nadia:)

Amany, Mariam, Muna, Nadia and Michael

Fatima was like a motherly friend to me my first year at Star and has been ever since.
Her lovely daughters came to visit and brought along two of my past students.
Thank you for visiting, we had a wonderful time!

Time with Jenny from California

This next shot was taken after Morris commented about two ghosts being in the pictures.

Thank you Jenny for taking the time to come and visit with us.

We loved having you and visiting with you!

Dear God....

please be with daddy at his interview on the 30th.

Canton Splash Pad

He ran laps around the splash pad most of the time but
I did get a few pics of the times he ran through the sprinklers.

Aliyah's First Holiday - Happy Fourth

This was Michael's favorite ride.

Every time he bumped into someone, he said, "Crash."

These rides weren't as exciting to him as they were last year.

Next year he should be tall enough to ride the more exciting, faster rides.

While Michael rode the rides, this is what his sister did:)

I love this picture because it captures something he does all the time.

He takes her hand in his and says, "I love her hands. They are so little."

Time with the Forte's

You know you are loved by your grandparents when they can't take their eyes off you,

even for a picture.
