The Halman Life: Life is like a box of...

CHEERIOS!

I'll never forget the day I came out of the kitchen to find Isla chowing down on a tipped over box of apple cinnamon goodness.

And what did I find on Tuesday? That's right, like sister, like brother. They were the exact same age too. Leo's spill was a whole lot cleaner though. I wonder if it's a sign of how their personalities will be. We all know Isla is like her cheerios above; all over the place but sweet as can be. Leo's box of Cherrio crunch is like him too. He has been a little bit more contained with clusters of kisses handed out to mommy and daddy throughout the day.

They both satisfy my appetite!

I can't believe it's the middle of summer already. Sunday night dinners have never been hotter and the walks to the bridge are getting sweatier and sweatier. This past Sunday night, John caught a fiddler crab in an empty wine glass and Isla and Ava went wild over it.

Leo is loving all people food now. He was slow to start, but he will eat basically any food placed in front of him. His favorites at the moment are homemade guacamole, american cheese slices, peaches, black beans, broccoli, ham and chicken.

Isla is enjoying her summer and sharing it with her pink "barbie" that she drags everywhere she goes. She has been taking a baby ballet and tap class every Saturday in July and loves it. She practices the morning of so she'll be perfect in class. I'm amazed at how all the little 2 1/2 - 4 year olds stand so still and listen to the teacher so well. They are precious to watch in their little pink leotards and tights.

Leo is still keeping watch over the dishwasher...his favorite place to hang out.

Silly girl playing hide n go seek in the tub.

John and I enjoyed a Sunday night out with Brannon and Heather 2 weekends ago. We went to J. Alexanders for dinner and then it was off to the Veterans Memorial Arena to see my favorite singer, Michael Buble! He was amazing as usual! I absolutely adore him!
