muluk's six!

a late post as muluk turned six in february, but i still wanted to share these photos. muluk had a fun birthday party at fenton's ice cream parlor. there was much craziness and too much ice cream, and it was a great celebration.

birthday party...

siena and i had fun at her friend ella-marie's birthday party recently. it was at a great local park and everyone got to take home a special balloon. it's nice watching siena make new friends.

valentines.

forgive me for the overdue posts, life has been wonderfully full. siena made some beautiful valentines for her classmates and teachers. i gave the kids both books about love and then sent them off to school with many kisses. siena had a pajama party for valentines because why wouldn't you wear p.j.'s on valentine's day?

a saturday morning...

not long ago.

training...

rocco has become interested in the potty and siena is a patient teacher.

overnight.

khalil and aya came over for a hectic, but fun sleepover a few weekends ago. in the morning siena got dressed for ballet and aya decided to as well. khalil got dressed for kung-fu and they all did an interpretive ballet dance. it was a beautiful moment of collaboration and peacefulness.

ayamila is six!

ayamila had an awesome sixth birthday party with farm animals and a storyteller. it was the first time that siena got up close and personal with farm animals, i was very impressed. to sisi's favorite six year old cousin, we love you!
