California Gurls

My California girls (gurls) are undeniable. The first sign of summer revealed themselves with Elena's new bikini. Michael enjoyed the suit too and though Mommy doesn't look forward to the heat, these kids certainly do. In all seriousness though, Elena enjoys the new suit and I'm sure Michael will be ready for the sprinklers by the time the Sacramento swelter begins.

Our La is more than half way through the Junior Kindergarten year and is registered in a.m Kindergarten for the fall (beginning at an ugly 7:40 a.m.). She can write all her letters, numbers and can count to 100. She is even beginning to sound some out and loves to 'read' to herself. We got her the "Ramona" series and have been reading her the first of them lately. She loves the big girl story and is always asking questions about Beezus, the big sister in the book.

Michael is learning something every day and loves to call for people. "Mama....Awww youuuuu? or "Aci.....Awww youuuuu?" (Mommy or paci..where are you?). He remains another great joy and might be the cuddliest child alive. Our little loves are downright goofballs in general and we wouldn't have it any other way.
