December is finally showing some cold weather for here.

So sweet...that is mama for you.

Jamila loves instruments of all kind.

She learned how to blow a couple months ago so she makes all sorts of noises with her slide wistle.

Some weekend mornings, we go to McDonald's for a very inexpensive breakfast. Jamila enjoys running around and peeking in the corner booth we sit at.

This is a new McDonald's and we really like the decor and the feeling here. It is much warmer in design and in terms of air too.

The booth is big enough for her to walk on from mama to papa.

Just tired out but she never forgets her trusty loveys.

On Christmas Eve we went to our friend's home out near Perdido Key about a 20 minute ride from our house but very close to the Gulf of Mexico. I had to have fun with Jamila's hair and use her little dress one last time.

Taking pictures of an 18 month old is hard but try and 18 month and a 26 month and it is near possible getting the faces. Samantha and Jamila are looking at the dogs in the yard.

I am not sure how she stayed still long enough to get this shot but maybe it was a mistake.

Miss Carmel at your service.

Dominic with Jacob - aren't they cute?

Esther and Kelly talking about everything. Kelly made a wonderful dinner with apple curry pork chops, shrimp soup, spinach strawberry salad, rice and two kinds of bread/cakes-apple and banana I think. YUM, YUM!!

Samantha playing with her daddy, Matt.

Martin playing with Carmel.


Time for a nap and a cuddle or two.

So great to see new up-dates on Jamila's adventures. My, she is so beautiful and has grown into a lovely young lady. I love her curls, they must feel so soft, and her eyes are so intelligent.
Big hug to you all from the Teskes

Hi Elin! Jamila is so grown up!!! I am so excited for the day when I get to see her in person again! We are doing well -- surviving the cold and looking forward to Kapono's first birthday (gasp!) on February 9. Can you believe it?!?

Wow, you guys have been busy. I loved seeing Dominick in the boa:-) haha. Jamila has the best smile I've seen in a long, long time. She's getting so big.

Hi, Elin! I'm thrilled to see Jamila getting so big. She's adorable and has such a happy, loving expression. She seems to take after both of you in the best ways. Thanks for keeping me in the loop :)

What a good thing to see Jamila in photos...you guys are doing a good job, just by the look of it in the photos. We will make some time to call and catch up...it's been quite a long time. Elin, keep those pics coming; Dominic, drop a line when you have time; and Jamila, keep them both in line--let them do their job :-)
HAPPY NAW-RUZ!!! by the way.
