This last week we found out that Sofia will soon have a baby sister. While tata and mama were a little taken aback, Sofia was very matter of fact about it, even going as far as saying that she knew its a girl

So until she arrives, Sofia is getting ready to be the big sister!

We had such a beautiful sunny day yesterday that mama, tata and Sofia took a day off and went off the enjoy the sunshine. Here is Sofia at the park practicing some ballet moves

This Easter was a great one. Sofia is finally old enough to understand the concept and help out with the chores.

On Good Friday we colored eggs, on Saturday we enjoyed a good egg hunt and on Easter Sunday we celebrated with family and friends over a great Easter meal!

In January we had such a big snow storm (that lasted a whole week) that Sofia and tata (with help from Paul and Beni) made not one, but two snowmen.

Here are their handy work!

Christmas is but two days away, so Sofia and mama started tackling the pleasant task of Christmas baking.

Here is out first project, Sugar men cookies!

A couple of weeks ago, our little town had the “lighting of the tree” ceremony. It was the first year that Sofia got to experience it. Needless to say, she was left speechless

So the following weekend, we went and got our own tree and decorated it.

Recently we all went down to San Francisco to visit our good friends the Ardeleans and the Herdeans. While there, Sofia reacquainted herself with some “old” friends, Max and Selah.

Here they are, enjoying their weekend to the fullest!

This past month, mama tata and Sofia travelled to Romania to visit family and friends. Sofia had a blast meeting new cousins and great-grandparents, experiencing Romanian food and flavors and overall having a great time.

Here’s are a few of the moments I was able to capture!

Today, Sofia and mama made cranberry scones together. Sofia got to make her very own scone (which she ate right after mama took this picture). So here is the scone that is more.

One of our favorite things to do Sunday evenings after church is to stop and have a gelato in Kirkland.

And since we have been doing it every week, without exceptions, it has become our summer tradition. It’s a tradition that the whole family enjoys!
