The kids are growing up way to fast, Samantha turned 2 in September and Nathanial turned 3 in May. I can't believe we are starting to look into kindergarten for Nathanial.

Samantha started School in September and loves it, she is so smart, she told me the other day that a Frog was an anphibian and a Turtle was reptile. I didn't even know what they were when I was two.

Both the kids love doing puzzles and best of all they love being with one another. Nathanial loves playing sports and helping Daddy around the house and his newest hobby is collecting the CARS from the movie of the same name. He has a few good friend, Mika'il and Thomas from school and Elie and Brenna who he enjoys going to the zoo and movies with. Samantha loves being around other kids too and has friends Ryan and Lilah but her best friend is her mommy:)

Her favorite saying is I love you miss much, Nathanials is are you wearing your kajamas?

Nathanial will be three at the end of May and Samantha just turned 19 months.  Samantha is walking,talking and following her brother around. Nathanial loves his school and loves to play with his trains. He loves it when we build track for him.  He loves playing with his friends and has a lot of fun at sportsball with his daddy.

Samantha, loves to dance and listen to music. She loves Elmo, Dora and Princesses.

They love playing outside and get a long very well together

This month has been a big month for our family. On December 18 Samantha started to walk on her own. She has also started to fight off her brother. She is into everything especially my Cd collection and loves throwing the cds down the stairs. She has also started to get her 5th tooth in.

Nathanial has started toilet training, its more of an off than on but he has started a little which is a start. Nathanial has also started to collect all the Thomas the Tank engine figues thanks to his fathers craziness and I believe his childish side as well. I dont know who is more excited daddy or Nathanial.

I have decided to go back to school and signed up for a course at Ryerson and have started my application process.

This week we celebrated Channukah and Nathanial has lit the menorah and loves seeing all the different colored candles. He also enjoys the 8 days of presents.

November is in full swing and the kids are growing up so fast. Nathanial has moved into a big boy bed and is getting used to sleeping in there.  Samantha has started to stand on her own and say a few words. She loves to be with hre big brother and loves spending time with her friends.

Nathanial is still obsessed with Thomas the Tank. He loves playing with his trians.

Well its been a while and things have been so hetic here with me going back to work, having our nanny join our family and having my two wnderful kids. Nathanial turned 23 months today and we are in the midst of planning his 2nd birthday and of course it will have to be a choo choo theme. He sings part of the alphabet and can count to 10. He is so much fun and has a great sense of humor and keeps us all on our toes.

Samantha is also coming into her own, she is a smily and hungry baby. She loves to smile and play with her big brothers toys. She has started to sit on her own and rolls all over the place. She loves to make noises and loves it when her big brother kisses and plays with her.

I am loving being a mom and my kids are growing so fast I wish they would stay young forever.
