The School Dance 8-20-09

I'm bad at blogging, but good at taking pictures!

I've been terrible at updating this site, but will try to update with pictures and video once and a while. We've been having a great spring and summer. Manny is growing so fast! He is now 15 months old, and running all over the place. He will be moving into the toddler room at daycare next week. EEEEK! He's ready to go, so he can be with all the big kids. He's saying several words like, hi, hey, cool, mamma, daddy, puppy, kitty, all done & Oh Oh. He's got 5 teeth and is a bit of a slow teether. Those buggers do not want to make full appearances!

Here's a video we took during dinner the other night. He's started doing this funny flexing thing with his face. He's hammin' it up for the camera pretty good. Make sure your sound is turned up.



Here's some pictures taken from this spring and summer. Our Colombian friend, Paola stayed with us the entire month of May, which was alot of fun. We celebrated Manny's 1st birthday, made a couple trips to Milbank, did a couple fun festivals like Farley Fest, Wavery Daze, Fourth of July in Excelsior. We also had a great time at the annual Karels' family picnic at Hobo Park. Manny and I camped with my mom and dad in their RV. Manny did great, and really liked it. Hopefully, we'll venture out camping as a family next summer. We have our Latin Adoption picnic coming up in September, so that will be fun to see everyone!



These are Manny's 12 month pictures. The photographer is great! Here's a link to her site, if you are interested in booking her.

Well, that's the last several months in a nutshell. We hope you're all having a great summer!

Love, Dulcie, Johnny & Manny (AKA: Manny the masher, ManRam, Manny Manny Boo Boo, Manley & "Manny" More)
