August was another busy month for us and we were blessed to enjoy such wonderful moments. Here are the main highlights in photos:
1. New babies!
1. New babies!
Two dear friends had babies at the end of July and early August and I have enjoyed being with them so much!
I photographed baby Maya, Heather and Parin's baby, at 3 weeks old at our home with our special camera and I'm really happy with the result! Maya's dad even said they seem professional - what a complement! Here are 2 of over 100 photos...
Baby Sadie, Corinne's and Chris' second daughter, was born on August 4th and I got to hold her at the hospital! She is so cute!
2. Trip to bay beach
We enjoyed a great visit to Sandi Point Beach (beach of the Chesapeake Bay) with our Polish neighbors. Daniel and Enya loved playing in the sand and water. Though the sand was quite dark and rough and the water not the cleanest, it was worth the trip!
3. Police fair
Our town had a police fair that was so much fun! It wasn't that busy and they had free food in addition to the cars, trucks and helicopters! Daniel and his closest friends, Enya and Devesh, all had a blast! And baby Maya came along too - more opportunities to hold her!
4. Church retreat
I went on an overnight church retreat with other young adults, most in their early 20s, and had so much fun! We had an obstacle race and other games and it was so fun to not be a mother for a few hours - and Jonny enjoyed being with Daniel all on his own!
5. Linnan and Delin back in town
We are so happy that one of Jonny's best friends, Linnan, has moved back to the area to go to medical school. His son Delin is only 6 months older than Daniel and they loved playing together twice in August.
6. Visit to Great Falls
Our friends Ken and Laura invited us to visit Great Falls park in Virginia and we had a wonderful time. It was very hot that day but we enjoyed our stroll around and picnic together. We also got to meet Laura's friend Abeer from Iraq and hear all her stories...really brought the suffering experienced there home...
Grandpa, I will update you on our recent camping trip soon - lots of more photos to come!

Hi Ana, this blog of yours is probably one of the best invention in recent times! Love the photos and the updates on what has been going on in the lives of all three of you. Look forward to much more!

ReplyDeleteHow wonderful time you had in the park and camping with Nani and your friends! Stephen and I just loved to see all pictures and browsed the album carefully. Our little prince Nani was full of energy and enjoying each moment. All pictures were marvelous! Enya is such a cute and nice girl to be with our little prince! The picture of Nani driving you around was great! I loved your picture and your style in the car: beautiful face and chic madam!
You and Jonny seemed to enjoy the experience as much as our boy wonder. How pleasant was to see this happy family having fun in the park! Keep up with good programs to expose our Nani to the beautiful and healthy world! Cannot wait to see you three soon. God blessings and lots of love. Vozinha de Daniel
