Mika our waterbug

Just having a little fun out back playing and all the sudden the sky opened up and began to down pour. Needless to say, the boys had not problem with this. Mika is our waterbug and loves anything to do with getting wet. Raine is not to far behind him in that.

Enjoying June

We are having such a great beginning to our summer. We have been working really hard on the alphabet with the boys from using chalk on the patio, to Josh making a magnet board for their playroom, and having foam letters and numbers in the tub. The boys are getting incredibly good at naming all the letters. It is amazing to watch them grow so fast. Josh and I feel so lucky to live in this neighborhood. We have had a nice time getting to know all our neighbors. We have had a couple BBQ s already and had a blast, as you can see so did the kids. We are a little over 5 weeks until our due date with Gavin and truly looking forward to seeing him.

Playing in the park in the middle of May

What a beautiful day at the park. The boys are getting so big, they want to climb on everything. Needless to say, this makes my heart stop often. Josh is on it though, seeing my belly is getting so big, climbing with the boys is not a great idea. Going to the park is now a full family affair. Josh loves playing with his boys and I can't imagine a better day with all my boys. We are now 6 months pregnant with Gavin and all is going great. We are looking forward to chasing one more little muchkin around the park. This is Josh and my grand plan to stay young.

Fun in the sun!!!

The weather has been amazing lately. We have had so much fun outside in the kiddy pool. The boys love the water. Mika jumps right in, Raine takes a minute; once that minute is up he's all in. I had the boys out naked today. Our house shades part of our back yard around 4pm right now, which is perfect to protect the boys from sunburns. Heat without the intense sun, it's perfect.

March Madness at the Dulcich's

The boys are getting so big so fast. We have been spending a lot of time outside lately. It has been so beautiful. We are all so happy it is spring time!!! Mika is in red and Raine in green. The boys are 19 months now and we are 23 weeks into our pregnancy. Mika is our all out play with everything boy, and Raine is our explorer and collector. Raine loves to collect rock one day and leaves the next. They play fairly well together, unless it is a one person toy, that creates some problems. It is so fun to see these boys play and be exactly who they are. Grandpa has been down to see us a few times this month. The boys really love playing with Grandpa. I know we have slowed down a bit on the blog, keeping up with the boys, pregnancy, and work has been busy lately. I will continue to do the blog so keep in touch.

Mika kissing Daddy

Thought we would share a cute moment with Mika and Daddy. Mika gives the best kisses!

It's a Boy!!!

YEAH, It's a BOY!!! Our 2D ultrasound (US) was so fun today. This little boy was moving like crazy giving us many great views of him. We left out the "It's a boy!" picture, felt it was a little to much. While they were doing the US Josh and I were able to see everything on a big screen on the wall. It was awesome!. Must say this little one is not shy, we were able to see it was a boy without a problem. They took 30 minutes doing the US. Every thing looks perfect as far as the genetic doctor saw. The boys stayed at home with Linda which made it easier for us to spend time at the doctors. Thanks to Linda Josh and I were able to celebrate at lunch alone as well.

Valentine's Day 2010

The boys loved the Valentine's Day candy their Daddy gave us. I must admit they were lucky I saved them any seeing Josh gave me the box the night before. Nothing better than chocolate and a cold glass of milk. HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY EVERYONE!!!!

Play Date

What a nice morning we had with Maria and Melissa. All these kids are growing up so fast. I am so excited to have a such a good friend with such an amazing daughter to share our lives with. It is a blast to watch the babies grow up together.

To small to play!

Second attempt in the snow went as well as the first. So, we decided a walk with blankets on was a better idea. Even thought the boys are too young to play they loved watching the neighbors tubing down the cul-de-sac. They watched for a long time. Maybe next year they can join in the fun. We finally got them big winter coats with hats and GLOVES! Yes, we were finally able to safely drive up our street and go buy gloves. Just in time to pack them up for next year.

It's snowing!!!

For all you California friends here are a few pictures of our beautiful snow!!! One thing I love about North Carolina is the weather. You get all seasons and none of them last too long. Just when you are sick of one the other is just around the corner. It is Jan. 30th and this is our first real snow for the year, and probably our last. Makes me thankful for our nice warm house, and a warm tub for the boys. We tried to play in the snow with the boys, Mika face planted into the snow the minute he walked out the door. Needless to say, it was over for him. Raine did well at first until his hands turned bright red from the cold. Yes, yes we were not prepared, we have snow pants, hats, and jackets but no gloves. Next time!

New Baby's First Picture

We all have been doing well here. We are now 11 weeks pregnant with our third baby. Yes, only one this time!!! This is very exciting. We do have some great updated photos of the boys, I'll get to that someday soon. Lately our house has been a bit crazy. Josh has been doing a lot of the household stuff including caring for the boys. I have either been in bed or at work lately. I am always so sick my first trimester and very tired. Truly looking forward to our second trimester.

It's December

It has been a very long month around here. We are just getting over being sick. It seems anytime we get a little sick it spreads like wild fire around this house. With 2 kids who share EVERYTHING I guess there is no good way of getting around it. We had to take the boys into the doctors on our Christmas (12/20) because they both had a temp of 101+. Christmas I worked this year, figured next year the boys may realize a little more the fun of Christmas. We are 11 weeks pregnant with #3 and as usual I have been VERY queezy. Ready for the first trimester to be over. Other than that all is going great with our new little one.

Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and we wish you all a healthy, happy New Year!
