Happy Halloween!

Jenny, Kei, and Mr. and Mrs Pena brought Maya over to celebrate Halloween with us. These girls seriously love each other, every once in a while we would catch them hugging. It was too sweet.

Happy Birthday Elke and Jenny!

Officially their birthdays were on Monday and Tuesday, but we celebrated on Saturday. Unfortunately I didn't get any photos of the birthday girls, but I did manage to get a few of Maya and Naomi hanging out.

Finn and Lucia

Today we had an extra special visit from cousin Z and her twins, Finn and Lucia. These babies are the sweetest things ever! They were so snuggly and cute, I really enjoyed finally getting to meet them.

Beautiful Momma and the babes.
