Chestnuts!

We got our bucket and our glove - those casings are prickly!

The gang - Sylvia, Carina,Samuel, Mindy, Andres and us

amidst the competition of who has more, there was some team work

the littlest gatherer wouldn't let anyone near his bucket but mom!

lots of love, MMVL

Can you handle another pic of the smiley brothers?

A couple minutes of our little joy watching himself eat dinner on the laptop.

Sunday with the boys in San Jose

Carina invited us for a game of Laser Tag.  It was super exciting for the boys.

celebrating mommy's birthday again and again!

"5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 39, yay!"
read the card Vincent made me!

Trinity made me this dulce de leche cake, and Maria hosted!

Suprise a dinner out for Jiby's baby shower
was also a birthday dinner for me!
at Amber India on Santana Row

My absolute favorite gift was from Vincent of course.
A painting he did at home without me seeing.
Vincent said the colors are mixed like Georgia O'keefe paints.  

lucky Vincent

I carried Vincent out of bed to get ready for school and left him asleep on the couch alone!  When I came back from the kitchen this is what I saw.  Leon had climbed up and was hugging him.
