THANK YOU NOTES!
Well, the thank you notes have finally been sent out..! Thanks for all the birthday presents everyone gave Joli. Here are some old pics that Pop Vega sent me that I didn't have a chance to post before.

Don't forget to eat Pancit on your birthday, Joli!

And, no, you cannot get a tattoo....

MORE PICS..

It seems Blogger limited me on the amount of pics I can put up in 1 blog. So, here are the other pictures from JoJo's party! If you look real close, you can see Marissa and Joe Panganiban sitting on the couch (little Clare is probably asleep in her car seat on the floor!), and Tammy and Grammy with Dad trying to get into Joli's Nemo Pool!

SHE'S TWO YEARS OLD!

Egads! She's TWO! Here are the much awaited pics from her birthday party. Joli was lucky to have TWO parties -- one on Saturday with family and friends, and another on her real birthday (July 17th) on Sunday with the Vega and Talusan family. Thanks to Grammy, Pops, Uncle Ped and Uncle "Cousin" OJ (that's what Grace calls him... 'CousinOJ')for making the drive from Far Rockaway and hanging in our new crib! The party was awesome -- thanks to all our friends who came and hung out with us! We bought Joli a huge playset, and she loves it! No need to drive to the park anymore! She got some awesome toys and clothes from all of her friends, too. It was a really hot day on her birthday, so everyone got in on some "Nemo Pool" action - especially Tita Grace, who somehow manages to always get soaking wet whenever she is with JoJo.
Woo hoo! She's TWO!

JOLI'S HAIR MAKES ME LAUGH...

Funny... Joli's hair never seems to be as big in person, but when I see pictures of it, it looks like she has the world's BIGGEST afro! Thanks to Marissa Panganiban for sending me these two pics! Joli was trying to put Barney in little Clare's car seat! Lolo is carrying little ClareBear and sitting with Joli!
JOLI TURNS 2 in a few days!! HURRAY!!

WHAT HAPPENED?

For some crazy reason, Blogger deleted the pictures we had up from July 4th, so I'm just re-posting them right now. Weird??

OUTING WITH MAMA

Joli and I went to the Boston Children's Museum and had a great time! Unfortunately, our camera died out and we only took a few pictures.
Look! We caught more fish than Andy, Dad and Lolo!

Maybe you'll have better luck fishing for ducks instead!

We tried to take the Boston duck tour, but that was all sold out....

And you thought GORDON was a big dog? Check out Clifford!

Ah, that's more like it... Cleo is just the right size...

It's LUNCH time! You can sit on my lap, Baby!

"Golly, Smithers. I do say, this must be caviar we are eating, is it not?"


Also, today, Joli got her first BIG GIRL ICE CREAM! (which, yes, is a milestone in our family). She ordered her own kiddie cup of chocolate ice cream and sat on the stoop with Mama as we ate, shared, laughed, and smiled!
