Special, because we began this year's routine of learning, expanding and stretching the imagination, absorbing tremendous amounts of information each day, ultimately generating vigor inside each child to return tomorrow and the next to learn more and more.</div>

Such a special day, where Will starts Pre-First as a young 5 year old, and is now able to attend the same school as his big sisters. Where each child can be an individual to pursue their own thoughts and dreams, and learn because they want to learn. Such a special day for parents, where we are blessed (so far) that all of our kids exhibit all the passion for learning and becoming better people.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Will is also looking forward to seeing one of his best friends who also moved to the new school from the former Montessori school, not to mention his looking forward to playing everyday in the playground with all the other kids, where he can show off his skills on the famous monkey bars.</div>

Right before Mom and Dad left, we were able to take a quick photo of Will class. If you notice, there is one chair empty...Will's. He was in Daddy's arms, overwhelmed by all the newness and excitement. However, it was short lived and he quickly recovered, returned to his seat and later that evening said, "today was the best day ever!" Don't you just love it!</div>

We have said on many posts that our kids are growing up so fast, in a blink of an eye they are 6 and 5. As they have matured since birth, it is wonderful to see their sense of humor blossom as well! We laugh everyday listening to them and watching them have fun. The other evening as we were getting ready for bed, Natalie found some funny face stickers that were to be applied to a sticker book. She had her back to us and we knew she was up to something, then suddenly she turned around to show off her handy work! </div>

Mom and Dad had a tough decision, but eventually we decided that even though Will has a early birthday making him one of the youngest kids in his class, we would take the next step and send Will to Kindergarden at the same school the girls will also start first grade. Will was so excited for his last day at his Montessori school to say bye to his teachers and classmates. However, that morning he was feeling ill, so he did not go to school. We all were all disappointed because he had so many good friends and memories at Bergamo. Fortunately, he started to feel better before the end of the school day so we made a quick trip over so he could see to all his classmates. What a great trip! Our experience was totally unexpected, memorable and just reaffirmed how special is our little boy. When we arrived, Will was surrounded by his classmates [mostly girls ;-)] who wanted to share their hugs, kisses and well wishes.</div>

The next day we went to the California Academy of Sciences. This place is amazing with all the cool stuff to do and learn, we will definitely come back. They have a very large rain forest with birds and butterflies, a planetarium, an earth quake simulator, an aquarium, a natural history museum, unique zoo animals, special exhibits, etc...it goes on and on and on!

For anyone who has had kids and/or has followed this blog, must agree that our kids are growing up too fast! Will recently turned 5 years old [and also means that Mommy and Daddy are also 5 years older. ;-) ] and we have many photos to share from his big day. Will is a very bright, smart, imaginative and outgoing kid who is full of enthusiasm. He loves to open presents and we are sure you will feel like you were part of this celebration seeing the energy on Will's face. We just love it!</div>

Will's big present for his 5th year birthday was a brand new bike! As parents, we were glad to hear that he wanted a bike for his birthday as he has shown little interest in riding. His preferred ride has been his scooter, but he did request a bike for his birthday and wanted to ride along with his sisters.</div>

We will never forget his reaction seeing the bike for the first time. He was so excited...he was speechless...then came over and gave Mom and Dad the biggest hug he could give to show his appreciation...It was very sweet and almost made us cry! </div>

After a long wait for a very wiggly tooth to fall out, Amanda finally gave in to allow someone to provide the tooth a little assistance to break her tooth loose! She was agreeable and so excited because she knew the Tooth Fairy would make a visit, as she did for her sister Natalie. Below, Amanda holds the surprise box left by the Tooth Fairy as she eagerly awaits to open the gift!</div>

From Virginia Beach we headed South to South Carolina to spend the week at Aunt Ann and Uncle Sheldon's house on Lake Keowee. We all had a great time visiting with the Taylors and the extended Tholstrup Family. Even more special was Grandma Zena being able to made the trip from Tennessee to enjoy all the family festivities. Here, the entire gang poses around Grandma for a 4th of July family portrait. </div>

After the beach activities, it was back to the pool for some refreshments and some water games. The life guards were having some fun with the kids and challenged them to gather as many diving rings from the bottom of the pool as they could. All participants were winners and were able to select the ice cream of their choice! Below, Natalie, Amanda and Will were first in line as soon as they heard ice cream!</div>

The end of our vacation was on the 4th of July, where we not only celebrate the birth of out county, but also the blessing of having such wonderful families. We had a great time with everyone and many thanks to our hosts for allowing us to crash their otherwise calm retreat on Lake Keowee. We will end this post with a photo from the 17th green overlooking the lake....</div>

Wow! We have been away for too long! Sorry blog readers, it has been crazy busy over that past several weeks and we are now just starting to catch our breath. (I hope we did not lose our audience...) It all started with a 2 week East Coast trip...with week one beginning in Virginia Beach for the triennial Totten Family Reunion. Everyone had a wonderful time enjoying each other's company, sharing life's stories, going fishing, eating a half bushel of blue crabs, and of course, playing on the beach. Below is a great photo of the entire gang. You can tell everyone is getting a little bit older as everyone seems to have a very nice smile for the picture!</div>

Happy Father's Day to all the wonderful fathers in our extended family and friends! This year, the kids and Mom took Dad out to one of our favorite restaurants! They have wonderful food that both kids and parents really enjoy eating. They also do not mind our sometimes loud crew and when Will went to take ice out of a wine bucket being used by someone else. ;-) Below are our beautiful kids on this very special day to Dad. How fortunate and blessed we are to have such wonderful kids. </div>

As tradition has it, we started coloring Easter eggs, and each kid had their own color palette. Below, Natalie checks out an egg in her favorite purple color...just perfect!</div>

Natalie and Amanda are in their spring semester of Kindergarden and have been progressing at a very fast pace learning their reading, writing and arithmetic. In addition to the 3 Rs, their teachers have been providing the students a nurturing atmosphere where they can also learn social skills as well as caring for one another. One fun activity is being VIP for a week, where the child of the week has responsibility for taking care of Wendell and Disco (stuffed animals), taking photos and writing a report on all their adventures over the past several days.</div>

We purchased a new pasta maker a few days ago to help make dinner a little more interactive and entertaining for the kids. Natalie, Amanda and Will all love pasta, and they would eat some form for every meal if they were allowed to do so. If it is not Mac and Cheese, it will be Spaghetti, Fettuccine. tortellini, rigatoni, etc., on the request list. We tried our first batch and each gave their all into making their own personal batch. Below, Will helps Dad crank out the the last pass through the past cutter wheels. What concentration!</div>

Yes, Poor Sable! Last weekend Sable had a slip on our stairs and hurt her leg. She had a severe limp and we decided to take her to the vet for a check. Unfortunately, they found that she had cracked her knee cap and needed surgery to fuse the piece back together, in hopes to regain mobility. She came home the next day after surgery with this monster cast on her hind leg. It goes all the way up to her hip and she has a terrible time moving about. She was wearing a very large lamp shade on her head, but she is taking the cast in stride and is not trying yet to chew the cast. She will basically live here in this dog bed in the middle of our family room for about 8-12 weeks. Wow...did they really say 8-12 weeks?</div>

Fortunately, we all love Sable very much and she get lots of love and attention from everyone. The kids have been great being little nurses for our favorite pet. They immediately "autographed" her cast with notes about how much they love her (although, Natalie wants Sable to have a purple cast --one...maybe on Monday when they take it off to tend to her incision.) Natalie is also very concerned about Sable and making her feel better and made this lovely get well card with pictures and get well wishes. How wonderful is this! </div>

Since our Bodega Bay house sits right on the golf course, Dad and the boys always stop by to visit and surprise the kids. Everyone was so excited to jump on the golf cart for a ride and managed to pose for nice photo. (Right after this photo, Will decided to hop down and press the gas pedal to give all a fun ride!)</div>

Another great advantage of Bodega Bay is that is is very close to California Wine county. We know we make sacrifices...so Mom and Dad always find ourselves giving in and making time to stop to allow the kids a few minutes to walk the grounds of a few wineries. </div>

Right across the street from one of Dad's favorites wineries, is a relatively new venue for the Russian River Valley. They have both great wines and rustic grounds. Here are a few photos of the kids making themselves home to the estate.</div>

</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
On the way to Bodega Bay, while Mom was working in the big city, Dad and the kids decided to stop at one of the interesting wineries in Napa Valley to break up the drive. This winery has a gondola that will whisk you from the parking lot straight to the winery perched on top of a large hill. From there, you can see the entire valley for miles. The kids were so good, Dad was able to take a few photos during the excursion.</div>

However, the most exciting part of the trip is the gondola ride. Natalie and Amanda rode this gondola when they were infants, but they were equally excited as if they were this were their first trip. Here, we are about to take off and head up the hill side.</div>

The 2013/2014 Sacramento winter has been like spring instead of winter and we have been enjoying every minute of it! The winter rains came this past week, but we were able to sneak in a visit to the playground before they hit. Our kids are all monkey bar aficionados and, as a result, have tremendous upper body strength. They have now transferred their monkey bar skills over to climbing poles. None of them can pass by a pole without wanting to climb up it! </div>

A few years ago, Santa brought the girls new bicycles. Both girls have been riding with training wheels ever since and have been getting more and more confident over time. Then, a friend recommended that we have them go back to glider bicycles (no pedals as the rider only pushes with their feet) to practice the balancing so they would feel more comfortable on the real thing. Well, they were right. After 1 week of practice the girls gave it their best shot at our neighboring schoolyard. The video speaks for themselves (as there is very little sound), but they took off as if they had been riding for months. We are so proud of both Natalie and Amanda and can't believe how mature they are becoming. </div>
