Austin, Ava, Alexi- Thank you for Father's Day

Thank you letting me celebrating Father's Day with you three, thats the best gift.  Your Mother and I always want you to laugh often, dream big and reach for the stars.

This dumpling, is only found in the mornings, in front of the TV, before everyone else in the world wakes up. 


Alexi, always happy while eating.

Ava's first day of pre-school summer camp at City Garden.
Ava's first achievement at pre-school - posing.

Austin and Ava's school outing at 31st Street Beach.  I still don't know how Mommy pulled this off with all 3 kids in tow.


Austin's version of Little Bunny Fufu




Austin was very willing to try new food; he dined on chicken linguini and lobster bisque.

After cake, Alexi had no interest in sitting still.
Happy Father's Day Lolo.

Happy Father's Day Father.


Austin and Daddy at Brickworld, its ok, money didn't need to be saved that day......




I tried very hard not to walk away with this CloneTrooper case.
 

Morning after Lego session.  If you look to the left, Ava was setting up a movie theatre for the Lego people, complete with movie.  We ended up using the iPhone as the 'movie projector'.'

Oh boy these kids are fast....

It was a heavy video week.  The kids are 1000000% faster in warmer weather.  I think we were meant to live in Hawaii.  Austin started soccer with Daddy as Head Coach.  Coaching nine 4 - 5 year olds at one time is like herding cats - impossible.  Its a good game when none of the kids play with the sewer gates, end up in the baseball field bleachers, or stop to watch the butterflies.  The experience is amazingly fun.  Ava is knee-deep in dance rehearsal; we're convinced she's headed for stardom, as long as she deals with the slight knee scrapes that somehow disable her legs and require immediate attention.  Alexi, had to be without Mommy for afew hours.  To him, that was the end of exist mankind.  He's learning to play with toys(STAR WARS) and also likes chasing down ants.  In addition to the weekly routine - the kids had family fun at the Ranay house with a bouncy-jumpy-thingy and a fun fair over the past weekend.  At the fun fair there was a fairly audible drum circle, which let the kids play with the instruments and be as loud as possible.  Needless to say, Ava had a blast.  We love the kids.  Thank you M Rhia for taking pix of our family without having to use duct tape.

Full play-mode ahead

With playdates, BBQ's, and dance recitals coming up, the Aggie kids are ready to play, play, play.  We've had costumed playdates with Leo and Joseph, where I heard Alexi used their dining table to dance on.  Sacha and Ava have their dance recital soon and were excited to try on their outfits.  Austin's preschool is wrapping up for the summer and had it's end of the year block party.  Austin was able to show Lola and Gamma his stomping grounds; Ava even won a cake!  There was a Memorial Day BBQ at the Szczech's home where Alexi didn't have to wear shorts.  We renewed our membership to the Zoo, where we found out Alexi likes Pandas, but hates costumed crickets.  After hours of browsing the animals, Ava finally got to ride the Carousel.  Saul Jr and Owen came over to our place, to celebrate Tita Mare's bday, so much food!!!
