Back at the beach

Dad likes to take Aiden and Mia for walks on the beach. Aiden usually takes Marvin with him. Sethers only likes to go out (being carried) for a little bit.

My princess

Somehow Mia will allow my mom to take her picture. But not me, no way....no how!

Beach Bums

Visiting my parents

I am here listening to the waves crash into the beach. My parents recently moved to Oxnard and their home is right on Hollywood Beach. It is weird to watch the waves as you drink your morning coffee. Mia is a beach beauty and already made it halfway to the beach without me noticing. Aiden and Seth are both afraid of the sand. I love it here. This morning we all went to the farmers market. It was a blast. Seth is doing really good with all the changes to his day. Our newest family memeber, Marvin, is doing great as well.

Introducing.....Marvin

Our newest family member came home today. His name is Marvin. He is a small mini poodle that we adopted from the local SPCA. He was neutered today, so he is a little tired. I can't wait to get him groomed and looking new. So far his adjustment has been okay. Aiden (our biggest scardy cat) has even been ok seeing him from afar. I just used Seth as an example and then his competitive side kicked in and he was fine with being near him.

I fell in love with Marvin and could not believe how calm he was. Time will tell how this transition will go, but we all will give it our best effort.

Aiden and Isa

We got a visit from our cousins, Max and Isa, today. Aiden is so loving towards them. He gives them big hugs and talks to them softly. It is too cute. I couldn't get Max to hold still long enough for a picture but here is Aiden and Isa.

Three peas with crazy hair

Not just for toys...

Mia fell asleep in her toy box yesterday. Having them both in toddler beds has made nap time a bit harder. I find I end up separating them on many days just to get them to stop playing and take a nap.

Counting fruit loops

They sure do make a mess of their cereal in the morning.

Her real name

Lately, I have been trying to teach Mia her real name. She almost always goes by Mia or Mimi. Today, I think she finally figured out her name is also Emilia. Princess Emilia Ann Delgado. Named after her grandpa, Emil J. Barycki Jr.
