Picasso Joli...

Whew! We finally found the easel that Aunt Kirsten and Uncle Paulie bought! Thanks you two! Joli loves her new easel and has been busy painting... both on and off the easel, of course!

The Newest Dr. Talusan!
Congratulations, Tita Mari, on earning your PhD!
We had a great time visiting the Vega family this weekend, even though it was short! We got to see Uncle Andy and Aunt Marie (with little Lillian - still in utero for a few more months!). Tons of fun!

Can I have more pancakes?

These pancakes are da bomb!

Thanks for letting us stay over, Pops and Gramma (and Ped and Ozzie!)! See you in a few weeks!

23 MONTHS OLD!

Woah.... Joli turns 2 years old next month! Wow!

We're heading to Far Rockaway for the weekend, so I'm sure we'll have better pictures after that. Until then, here are the best pictures we could take at 7:30am... before coffee.... before breakfast.... of Joli's 23 months old pics!
Yes, Tita Mari... I will fix her hair....

Her face picture!

It's Summertime... and the livin' is easy!

We've been having a great time with our summer hours! I only work 3 days a week to spend more time with Joli and we have a full schedule ahead! We recently went to the Roger Williams Park Zoo with Tita Ligaya and Mia... oh, the experience of having 2 kids!

It was Jorge's 30th birthday on June 10th, and we had a great little BBQ in our new house. Here's Jorge on his last day of 29 ... (you'd think he'd be happier!)

Joli liked seeing "Zob" (from Zobomafu on Nickelodean)


She'll be turning 23 months tomorrow! Woooaaahhh...

Some cool stuff? Well, she loves the Wiggles.. can't get enough of those guys! Also, we heard her singing the alphabet! She got all the way to the letter "X" and stopped-- pretty cool, man! She's super sweet, and is often caught putting her little Spiderman toy to bed and saying, "It's all right, Spiderman. I love you. You'll be okay, Spiderman." The best is when we catch her saying things or doing things when we're "not looking." The other day, Gordon was sitting in the middle of the room, and Joli grabbed him by the jowls and said, "GordieGordieGordieGordieeee... you're a good boyyyyyyyyy." Too cute!

More later!

THE PRIDE OF HOME OWNERSHIP!
Thanks, Jorge, for tackling the lawn! Jorge spent most of the afternoon mowing the lawn and edging ... a far cry from the paved streets of Far Rockaway, NY. He did an awesome job -- and Joli of course slept through it all :)
