I jump in the pool!

Sofia loved hanging out with Leah and Ike in the pool. They had a great time even though the pool was deflating!

Happy Birthday Papa'!

Sofia has recently gotten a kick out of singing Happy Birthday to everyone (thanks to her cousin Alexis), so she was so excited to sing to her papa' on his actual birthday.


SEMI-TRUCK STROLLER HITS THE ROAD RUNNING!


Jason's coworkers gifted us a most remarkable stroller that seats ALL the Pieton kiddos. The "semi-truck", as Jason and I call it, has come quite in handy for moving the brood from place to place. I must say that I am quite a sight to be seen when I'm strolling this contraption. As you can see, there is a bench seat for Sofia to sit on (for approx. 3 mins. at a time), which also rolls in to make room for her legs to stand on a platform (she lasts slightly longer at 4-5 mins.), until she decides that she wants to help me PUSH the stroller and I have to walk duck-footed so that I don't trip up on her feet while pushing. Are you trying to picture that? Maybe someday I'll get someone to video that so you can witness this spectacle. Finally, Sofia quite often decides to just run along beside the stroller until she tires and starts the cycle all over again. I guess that's life in the constantly changing mind of a 2 year old.

Healthy, Happy, & Home!


Sofia is happy to have her brothers home and really fill her big sister role. Hooray! We're all under the same roof. Everytime Friday rolls around we hold our breath. We've had to go to the ER for so many past Fridays, it was becoming quite monotonous. We're now looking forward to lots of healthy home time now!!
