Ballet Day
Well, its been almost a year since an update, sorry about that. We moved from California back to the East coast so its been quite a busy year. The princesses are adjusting well. Olivia is in school 5 days a week and has a new ballet class she attends. Sophia and Gracie have school one day a week. Last week we had a ballet day at home with three little ballerinas all dancing away. See the pics below.
Christmas was nice this year as it was our first Christmas back East with the family. Everyone came to see the girls and we had Christmas dinner here at our house. The kids had a ball with the cousins getting crazy for hours. Santa was very good to the girls (of course)stcking the presents as high as the sky.Holloween was a lot of fun this year as well. It was not too cold so the Princesses were out and about getting lots of candy.

Curious Olivia
I have been wanting to take Olivia to her first movie for a while now, soo, when we had to get out of the house for a few hours, and Curious George was playing at the local theater it was time test the waters. Olivia and I went to see a 1:40 Curious George showing and after taking out a second mortgage to pay for the tickets, Olivia got really excited to see the candy counter. Olivia got a sack of M&Ms and a bucket of Sprite, and I got a movie theater version of a small popcorn (read more popcorn than an elephant could eat in a week).
While we waited in line to get into the show, Olivia was really excited to see the screen that was as big as the house. She liked the light up stairs that helped you to see where you were walking.
The funniest was getting into our seats. The theater has really big comfy stadium seating. Problem is, the seat would not stay down when little miss 27 lbs got in it. I had to put the arm rest up between us and keep my leg on the end of the seat to keep it down. Very funny. A nice lady behind us offered to take a picture since she saw a corny dad taking pictures of his little girls first movie. Take a look below. Anyway, Olivia was very good during the movie. She watch intently and did not talk. She had a ball eating M&Ms and drinking her soda.

We Made It!
With only a little drama we made it out of the house today, to the airport, on the plane and to Colorado!
Olivia was very excited to get on the plane to come see Nicholas and Philip. Our flight was a little delayed in San Fran, but as soon as we got on the plane, Olivia buckled in, put on her headset to watch the TV monitor and was ready to fly. She would occasionally look out the window, then look at Kim and say "Are we there yet??"
Sophia got her own seat since no one took the middle seat between Kim and Olivia. SHe was going to be a "lap rider" but she was very happy to have a seat; for a little while anyway. She also watched the TV for a bit, then got a little antsy. Meanwhile....
Gracie Mae was the perfect little travler. She fell alseep just after take off on daddy's shoulder. Daddy got to watch ESPN for about the first hour while Gracie slept and Kim and Sophia went 12 rounds in the next aisle over.
Daddy took over and went another 5 rounds with Sophia until she finally settled down for a peanut butter sandwich.
We landed without a hitch and made our way to baggage claim in Denver on moving walkways, elevators, escalators and trains. Olivia was very into the various modes of transport. It was like the movie "Trains, Planes and Automobiles", but add elevators, escalators, sidewalks, strollers, and Daddy's back.
So the girls and Kim will be here in Boulder for the week while I head back east. I will meet back up with them next Friday night and head back to San Fran on Monday. We should have lots of pictures and stories for you then.

What's New?
Part-time Daycare
Olivia and Sophia are going to Nanny's two/three days a week which means they are home most of the time. Last week Daycare was closed and we took in Emma , one of the girls friends for two days. Olivia loved it! She really likes having friends over. She likes to have someone dress up with her and Emma is sweet enough to listen and do what Olivia says so everyone has a good time.
Gracie Mae
Gracie is nine months old now and weighs 18lbs. She is being measured on the regular charts now and is at 45 and 50% with her weight and height compared to other children her age. She is 75% with her head so needless to say it is quite large. She is trying to sit up but falls over quite easily and often, Olivia is very entertained by this. Gracie is 7 months adjusted age and is doing almost all things that a seven month old baby would do.
Sophia Plum
Sophia is a sweetheart, she is sooo happy and loves to dance as you can see from the video. She is now saying Hi and bye, ball, shoes, nose, ear, teeth, dog - she loves Ram, although I have caught her trying to ride him lately which is not good but Ram puts up with it mostly because Sophia is the one that feeds him all day. He follows her everywhere. She is the biggest climber and daredevil I have ever seen. When I check on her at nap time, I sometimes find her sitting on top of her dresser (scary) but she cracks up when I tell her to get down. We have to keep an eye on her.
Sisterly Love
Olivia is still thrilled with Gracie, it is hard to keep her away from her. Sophia is starting to look at Gracie and I caught her saying tickle, tickle to her the other day. As for Olivia and Sophia, they are really starting to play together. They chase each other with their dolly strollers and although Olivia still hurts Sophia, Sophia is starting to fight back. Greg calls it the laverne and shirley fighting. They just scream and slap at each other. It makes me laugh although I know it is only going to get more interesting.
A while back, Greg showed you our time out chair. This is the chair that Olivia spends the majority of her time in. Sophia always goes over and watches Olivia while she is in the chair and has started climbing into the chair after Olivia leaves it. She will sit in the chair and scream (imitating her sister). It is a riot! We bought a new bath tub that blows up for Gracie because she is not quite ready to sit up in the bath seat by herself but is way too big for the infant tubs. Look at who thought her tub was a boat. It was a fight just to get everyone out of it so we could put Gracie in it.
The House, the car, our life
We believe we have sold the Volvo, we decided that we would get a new car once we get back east because we truly need to fit all of the children in both cars.
The house is going on the market the week after superbowl so we shall see.
The "stager" came the other day to tell us what we need to do to make our house marketable. All I can say, is my notes for each room ='remove everything'. Ugh, I don't know how we are going to live but all toys and most signs of children and clutter need to be packed up. If you have been here, you know what this means.
We are taking a trip to Colorado to see Nick and Philip, Olivia is very excited. I am going to take the girls there and Greg is going back East. It will be fun to just spend some time. We will most likely see snow and Olivia and Sophia will be able to fight over the fire engine bed.
In Summary - I will be grey and Greg does not have the head of hair he used too but we are surviving.

Christmas Wrap Up
"This was the longest day of my life" said Mommy, as the girls finally went to bed at 9:40 last night. It certainly was a long fun filled day. Santa was very good to the girls bringing them toys, crafts, clothes, etc. Many pictures below of the fun filled day. Kim and I had a great time watching the girls play and get excited as each gift was opened.
Olivia was disappointed when Santa was not here when she woke up. On Christmas Eve she would not go to sleep. She was so excited cause she "heard Santa's sleigh bells, cause the reindeer wear collars like Ramessess and they have bells on them". She also saw Santa "over at Kendal's house and he is coming here next". Even when I told her Santa could not come until she was asleep she still would not give in. Then, after falling asleep, she woke up about 1:30 AM with a 102 degree fever. Kim stayed with her through the night. She was in good spirits the next morning and did not let a temperature slow her down from opening the presents.
Sophia was a little confused but got into it when she saw the car slide toy that Pop-pop sent (see picture). Sophia had a ball on her new bike that mom-mom sent and after a while the kitchen became a race track for Olivia and Sophia.
Gracie happily watched all the craziness from her new car and giggled at the girls as they played.

Falling Down on the Blog
Sorry gang, but its been a busy few weeks and I just have not found time to sit down and blog. So here is a big update on the gang.
Gracie Mae
Gracie is a ball of energy these days. Gracie is interacting with her sisters a lot, watching everything they do. And of course, Olivia and Sophia like performing for her. Gracie gets so much attention when she is out, people telling us how beautiful she is. She gives them nothing in return but a straight lip look of "I don't know you so get away or I will scream". Gracie has started eating some new foods like biter biscuits and little pieces of french toast. She certainly is getting a taste for more things.
Sophia
Sophia is officially a big girl now that we have ditched the crib and she is in a bed. She really enjoys the bed and of course, enjoys the sneaking out of her room after bedtime. Sophia and Olivia are really playing more together and having fun chasing each other back to bed "after hours". Sophia is our dare devil who will climb, flip, jump, etc. off and on to anything in her path. She also is becoming quite the little dancer. Check out the video
Olivia
The fully potty trained one, Olivia, has taken the princess thing to a new level. She now announces that she has to go potty and expects that someone (read daddy) go to the potty with her, put her on the potty, wipe her butt, and flush. She can do it all herself, but chooses to wield her power. Its all about the presents now for Olivia as its Christmas Eve and all the packages are under the tree. And according to her, they are all for Olivia. Gonna be a fun day tomorrow.

Its beginning to Look a lot Like Christmas
We got an early jump on Christmas today. Kim got out all the decorations and Olivia helped getting them out all through the house. I went to get a Christmas tree while the girls took a nap. When they got up, the tree trimming began. Below are some of the pictures. What they do not show is the "Griswold" like craziness of the tree falling when Sophia pulled on it, Kim catching it, Greg under the tree trying to get it back up and Judy trying to hold it in place. We saved it and the tree turned out pretty nice. Check it out.

Happy Black Friday
It's 6:30am and I am waiting for the girls to get up and go shopping. They already missed the 5am early bird deals! Anyway, I wanted to share some more pictures from the last few days and from Thanksgiving. I hope everyone had a nice day and enjoys turkey sandwiches for the next week!
We had a nice dinner, prepared by the nice folks at Andronico's (for a small fee of course). Kim, Judy and I made appetizers and desserts. Nanny, Gillian and Cheryl arrived at 3 and of course Olivia was wired from the get go. We chatted a while and had apps and some wine while Olivia talked everyone's ear off. Sophia watched Telly Tubbies and Gracie was just her cute self. Dinner was good except for the green beans, they were terrible. Ram has a nice dinner too as he made off with Sophia's peanut butter sandwich, a dinner roll and a few pieces of turkey someone (read Daddy) slipped him from the table. Grandmom's Ricotta pie was a hit with the "I-talians" but not the native Californians. They just don't know whats good. Nanny was taking a piece over to a friends house whose father was visiting from Italy. We will see what he had to say.

Mom mom comes to California
Judes got her last night and of course Olivia had to wait up for her. Olivia talked her ear off and did not go to bed until 10:00. Gracie got up around 6:45 and entertained Judes with her giggles and smiles. When Olivia got up it was more crazy talking and crafts. Judes, Kim and Olivia went shopping then came home to get Sophia, Gracie and me for lunch. We went to see the duckies over in BlackHawk. I came home with the girls and put them all down for a nap while Kim and Judes went shopping. We had fun the rest of the day watching videos of the girls, dancing, laughing and playing. See some fun pictures below.

Potty Princess
Kim and I would like to announce that we have now cut our monthly diaper expenses by $150.00. Olivia is on her way to being fully potty trained. She made it through a whole day without an accident in her panties. And to celebrate we did some crafts after the other princesses went to bed. Check out these goobers!
Earlier in the day I was trying to get all the girls together for a picture and it got a little a crazy.
Olivia spent most of the day telling us that she thought she had to go potty, then us running to the potty with her. Sophia and Gracie took turns sitting with us in the bathrooms while we read books and stuff to pass time while we waited for some action. Olivia and Daddy also used thumb wrestling to pass the time. Olivia has gotten quite good! Good at CHEATING. She grabs daddy's thumb with her free hand and wins every time.

The Lion, The Splinter and The Mouse
So who remembers the proverb about the lion who gets a splinter and the mouse who gets it out then becomes his best friend. Well, replace the Olivia as the lion, daddy as the mouse and that is basically what happened the other day. Olivia came in the other day and was crying about an "owwee" she had on her finger, but every time we got close enough to take a look, she would run away crying, screaming "it hurts to touch it so get away" After about 10 minutes of coaxing, I got close enough to see that Olivia has a splinter from the rose bushes out front in her finger. It was a big one and it was sticking out a little so of course it hurt to touch it. Olivia would not let us tough it, so through the crying and screaming, I had to tell her the story of the Lion, the Mouse and the Splinter. She finally got up the courage to let me look at it close up, then with one quick motion I pulled it out. The pain was immediately gone and I had a best friend for the night. Then came the funny part... The rest of the night when Olivia wanted something more than what she was allowed to have she would say something like this in her best whimper/whine "I need another snack cause I had a splinter in my finger, or I need another story cause I had a splinter".... I have obviously established myself as a push over if she thinks that one will fly. But as you all know I am and it did. =)

Mr. Mom Day 1
They are all asleep, and no one, even me suffered any severe injuries. Can you believe it?
We started the day by going to breakfast at the local waffle house, and surprisingly, it all went pretty smooth. Some guy came over and told me I am his hero! He and his wife are due in March and he recently took care of his nephews and did not last 3 hours. Funny, he did not see the blow up Olivia and I had trying to get out of the house =).
We got back to the house after breakfast an everyone played independently, which made things go very well. Lunch was served promptly at 11:30 and it was off to nappy time.....or so I thought.
Nappy time went like this.... Olivia plying in her bed. No big deal she usually does then falls asleep. But then, just after getting Gracie to sleep I hear.. "Daddy, Phia is out of her bed and running around!" hmmm, you know what that means. Sophia was crib climbing again. I ran up to find her in the loft trying to turn on the Telly Tubbies video. I put her back in her crib and she played for 2 hours. On top of that Olivia never went to sleep either. So.....
I packed them all up in the car around 3 and went to Target. Shopped a little, got some funny looks (a Dad with an infant in a Bjorn and two toddlers in a stroller and no supervision will get you a lot of stares). We headed over to Borders Books so I could get a CD and yes, more looks. On the ride home we called in a pizza to my pizza guy Rahim, (yes Rahim is my pizza guy! It's California, give me a break). We jammed to my new Bunnymen CD on the ride over and Rahim brought the pizza out to the car. This always makes Olivia ask 100 questions about why someone would give me a pizza while I am driving.
The rest of the night went smooth and they all went down a little early due to the non-napping that went on this afternoon. So, not so bad for day one. Let's see what tomorrow holds. I even had a chance tonight to finish a second video book. Check it out on Princess TV.

What's on the Bathroom Floor???
I awoke this morning to Olivia standing next to the bed explaining that "Sophia is sleeping on the bathroom floor" YES, SOPHIA on the bathroom floor. Huh??? So I jumped out of bed to see what was going on and yep, Olivia was right, Sophia WAS asleep on the bathroom floor. So the saga of the "crib climber" continues.
Sophia was asleep, butt in the air on the bathroom floor with all of her blankies and stuff dolls that she normally sleeps with from her crib. How she got out with all those things I have no idea. My only thought is that she planned to get out, threw everything out first, then went over the wall. Gathered it all up and found a new place to sleep. Funny thing is, her bedroom light was on, her little "Sophia" chair was out in the hall, and her big stuffed unicorn seat was moved across the room. I can not understand why Kim and I did not hear any of this over the monitor and why Ram who usually pops up at any little sound, did not flinch all night. What a mystery. I guess with Kim gone this weekend, I will have to camp out to see what crazy late night antics Sophia has planned. More to come on the "Crazy Climber"

Trick or Treat
Sleeping Beauty, A Cowgirl and a tutu little one were raring to go this halloween.
Olivia was amazed that people would give her candy although she very much enjoyed giving out the candy as well. One for you and one for me is how she distributed the candy to the tricker treaters. Olivia, Daddy the clown, and Phyllis (Nanny) went to the harvest festival at Nannys church to play games and see all of the fun costumes. Olivia enjoyed basketball, diving for duckies, jumping in the bouncy and much more. It is a very nice event for children. Olivias favorite part of the evening = Shrek and Fiona - take a look

The Climber
Well Sophia is truly a climber and we are thinking that rather than Reading class, she should be in tumbling class. She will now crawl out of her crib whenever she is not truly tired. You find her running past you with the biggest smile ever on her face. She is usually running to the TV in the loft which she has mastered how to turn on and play her favorite video "Teletubbies" or as Olivia says "Tubatubbies". Olivia has also informed us that Tubatubbies is for babies not big girls like her, although you will catch her watching it periodically with her sisters.
Rough night
When I went to get Sophia this morning - she has a black eye and huge scratches above her nose on her forehead. What on earth happened? We do not know, but she did not have these marks when she went to bed and she didn't climb out last night, atleast not successfully. So much for any holiday pictures this weekend and we probably won't have to do too much for her halloween makeup - haha. Stay tuned for tomorrows Halloween update.

Read Along with Olivia
Olivia gets to read books every night before going to bed. We recently got two new books at the reading class we go to on Tuesdays. Watch Princess TV and read along with Olivia and Daddy as they read "Where is the Green Sheep?". Go ahead, its fun!
