2 years old!!

Karina is 2 years old!! She is an amazing little girl who loves to play, sing and read. We have been keeping busy. At the end of August we went to Pacific Beach, WA with some friends. September went fast! The weather was beautiful, so we enjoyed the outdoors as much as possible. October is flying by as well. The rain has arrived, so we are now taking advantage of the indoor activities, like the Children's Museum and community center playrooms.
