Monica was "water" in her Kindergarten program. She memorized a little part and did it very well.

She also got to be the "pointer" when the class read a book aloud. (My guess is because she was the only one that could actually read it.)

Cassandra gets cuter everyday. She's spent a lot of time in her carseat lately as we've been looking at houses.

Monica likes to play beauty salon and make Zachariah's hair pretty.

We went to Santa Monica for the 4th. The kids loved it! (And Monica liked that there was a beach named after her.) Monica even caught a couple waves on the boogie board and was so proud she could surf.

Monica's birthday

M

Monica's 6th birthday. She had a My Little Pony party with friends from school.

Not Mom's best cake, but Monica loved it. Unfortunately, the frosting didn't taste very good. (I used 2 cans!)

Monica and her best friend, Sydney.

All the kids at the party--2 hours was plenty!

They had a blast playing in the pool out back. And the best part is, I didn't have to try to keep them entertained.

Zachariah felt a little left out at times, but he made sure he got attention by trying to hit everyone with styrofoam noodles.

Cassandra's Blessing

We blessed Cassandra on July 8th. Eric's brother Daniel and his family were down here at Disneyland, so they came to the blessing. Unfortunately, neither of our parents were able to be here. This is the Redlands temple which is right next to our church.

Debora and Cassandra in our backyard. Isn't her dress gorgeous? (Thanks Mom.)

What a cutie!

Cassandra Judith Baird was born May 9th at 9:10 am. She weighed 7 lbs 15 ozs and was 20 inches long.

As you can see, she has a full head of dark hair.

Zachariah and Monica come to visit Debora and Cassandra in the hospital.

Eric, the proud father.

Debora, the tired mother.

Eric and Cassandra

Zachariah and Monica are so excited to have a little sister. They are big helpers.

What a little cutie!!

She looks a lot like Monica at that age and is very beautiful.

Christmas 2007

Zachariah and Monica playing king and queen on their thrones.

Zachariah with his pig birthday cake. He wanted to be the big bad "yolf" and eat the 3 little pigs.

Zachariah wanted to go to Chuck E. Cheese for his birthday. He had a blast riding all the rides. It's really improved since we went there on short days of school!
Monica loved the rides too!

Zachariah loved his cars from Grandma Galli and enjoyed eating the pig too.

The Galli Clan!
