Nothing has been posted on here in a long time, but we were lucky enough recently to have Grandma and Big Jim come down and rent a vacation rental in Mission Beach from http://www.beachagentsd.com for Mama's graduation. Here are a few photos from the stay.

Maya and Camilla Swimming

It has been a while since I posted on here, but it is easier than emailing these files as they are so large. Maya have Camilla have been taking swimming lessons and today was the first day that Maya swam by herself a little way and Camilla started using her arms. I have some video below:

Some videos from Sascha's birthday party

Our neighbor Sascha turned two today and had a birthday party. here are a few videos of the festivities.

First Post in Ages

I almost forgot we had this blog it has been so long. I was going to post some video and pictures on Facebook and figured I could post them here too. The following are some pictures of the girls with their friend Lucia, the niece of our friends Luna and Dave.

Camilla Walking

Here is a little video of Camilla taking a few steps. She just started taking a series of steps in the last couple of days and is actually quite good at it, but she still prefers crawling as her primary means of transportation (besides being carried of course)



Here is another video that is a little better from Sunday. The one above is from Friday.




Here are a couple photos of Maya in her princess dress getting ready to go with Auntie to Disney Princesses on Ice. We mistakenly got her tickets for the Spanish language one, but according to Concha she still loved it.

Maya's message to Mama

Yolanda is on her first solo vacation since the girls were born and Maya wants to give her a message to make her even happier on her trip.

A few new pictures

Sorry we have not posted in a while. We have been very busy, but I have a chance to put a few pictures and videos up now, so here we go.


Here is a smiley little picture of Camilla


Camilla got a hold of some black licorice and made a pretty amazing mess on herself.

Maya is in the early stages of potty training. She has a little potty and she knows what it is for. She likes to pretend she is going potty in it, but hasn't actually tested out the real thing yet.

Uh oh, it looks like she is stuck.


Maybe not, now she loks very pleased with herself.


Yes, I would say that is the case.


puffy cheeks

Some new videos and pictures for Grandma

The video above is of Camilla crawling. She started a couple weeks ago, but it was a pretty slow army crawl for a while. Now she getting it down.



Above is a little video of Maya playing with Camilla.
