Mr. Goi Goi's Twin

For those very familiar with the girls, you know Ella loves to cuddle with her little friend, Mr Goi Goi (named for the sound she makes as she holds him and sucks her thumb). Nora has really developed an interest in him and has enjoyed cuddling with him when Ella wasnt looking. Well, thanks to Grandma G, Nora now has her own Mr. Goi Goi! She likes to crawl around with him in her mouth (much like a doggie:)

Here are a few pics of the girls hanging out in the kitchen this afternoon:
(the cutest face!)

I had to include a shot of Ella taking her nap yesterday:
We're thinking of you, Grandpa R! We hope to see you soon so the girls can clap when you yell "Grandpa!"

Happy Father's Day!

Happy Father's Day to the wonderful men in our lives. It's Daddy's 2nd Father's Day--he's starting to get the hang of it!






Grandpa Richards/Papasan/Big Daddy: Wish we were there!


Grandpa Gaub/Poppi: Glad you could be here for the first birthday. Visit us again as soon as you can!

We wish we could be with all of you today. WE LOVE YOU!

Some Firsts

The girls had their first playdate this weekend with "little" Aman.He got such a kick out of the girls. Ella was still a little unsure...
Nora was also checking him out, but she was acting silly most of the time, making faces at everyone
Aman sat up on his own for the very first time at our place! Had to take a picture...
Later that day, the girls attended their very first friend birthday party. Savannah, the daughter of our friends Joey & Andrea turned six past week. She had a hula/pool party with her friends and the girls were invited. It was pretty rainy during the afternoon, which didnt stop the big kids form jumping in the pool. When Savannah was done swimming, she decided she was cold and wore her coat for the rest of the party, while her friends sat around in their wet swimsuits (without a complaint!):
