Summer Fun

Summer highlights from the Castillo family:
  • Cassiel and I flew up to Seattle for Aunt Ruthie's graduation from the University of Washington
  • Tia Jhoselin was with us for two months from Mexico
  • Alejandro and I celebrated our ten year anniversary with a week in Maui
  • We went to San Diego for a weekend to celebrate Sheila and Scott's wedding
  • and a million other random, precious moments of joy.....read on....

Alex and I on a "date" having frozen yogurt and playing dominoes


Cassiel now gives kisses! They melt her Papa's heart every time. I caught this candid picture through a window, hence the screen blurring it, but how cute?!

She calls "Papa" in this loud, urgent screech. It was her third word after Mama and dog. She calls Papa in the middle of the night, in the middle of the afternoon when he's not around...in other words, all the time. She loves him. I might be a tiny bit jealous if it weren't so darn cute.
 
 
Bouncy house at the Cohens. What could be more fun for a 4 year old boy? It's about on par with Disneyland for Alex. And great fun for the parents who can enjoy some wine while the kids wear themselves out. Happiness all around. 
 
Our little Cassiel looks like she's headed to jazzercise with this headband.


Struttin' her stuff in the sand...

An afternoon visit to the airport with Mama. No, that's not our plane and no, we did not go for a flight. I'm not even sure who's plane that is or who took the picture, but adding it to the memory book...


And adding memories like this. Yep, she's messy. One day my children will sleep through the night and have civilized table manners and I will long for these days. Right?


Uncle Seth teaching Alex (and Noah) how to play with a yo-yo. Important life skills.

"Come here, Cousin Alex, give me a kiss!"

Baby Noah is learning to crawl. We tried to help him along, but he was having none of our imposed timing on him. He has the cutest little dimples and the sweetest smile. Such a cute little munchkin!!
