more fun in the sun

I have been back to work for a few days since my vacation last week. Daniela is really settling in here, and the boys love her. It is fun having a young(er) person in the house. I forgot how many fun things there are to do here in Cincinnati, and she is turning us on to some newer music.

Here she is making peanutbutter sandwiches with Declan:
Declan is in his swimsuit after having gone to the pool.

Otherwise, we have just been having more fun outside. We went to the zoo earlier this week, but forgot the camera. Declan's favorite part was the train. He loves everything Thomas, and was so excited to ride a real train around the zoo.
Here at the house, we have been playing with the water table.

Here are Declan and Dylan:

And here is Declan's latest multimedia art work :)


Hope everyone else is having a great summer!

Hi from the Baus family!

I just wanted to give a little update on what has been going on down here in Cincinnati. We recently have a new member of our household, Daniela. She started living with us as an aupair last week, and it has been great having her here!



Both boys light up when they see her, and she is already a huge hit with Declan and Dylan. If Mary Poppins were 23 and Brazilian, then she would be Daniela.




Here are a few other things we have been doing around here.

Joseph and Declan have been working on their "spin move."


Declan and I have been doing a little baking:




And of course we have been playing with big trucks:



And playing in the sprinkler:

And of course, just lounging around, enjoying summer.
