Sofia & Joshua Gordon Jeff and Angie's tribute to their children

Here we are – another new year.  Sofia and Josh seem to have grown so much over the last year.  Josh has become very verbal and social.  Sofia has really taken notice of the world and things around her and asks many new questions daily.  See pics from January below…we had a snow day.

We took Sofia and Josh with us to Rosanna’s house for New Years.  The kids made it past midnight singing, dancing, and playing.  The next day brought naps for all involved.

Towards the end of December family came to Dallas to visit us.  Abuelito Gordon, Suzi, Tio Jason, and Tia Angela.  Josh, Sofia, Mom, and Dad all had 10 days vacation at home.  We took advantage of this time to visit the Dallas Aquarium, Dallas Zoo, and Ft. Worth children’s museum – not to mention Christmas and New Years.  We now look forward to 2011 and wish all the best.

Christmas pictures:

Angie finally broke Jeff down and convinced him to buy a SLR this Christmas.  Jeff admits it does take superior shots…..attached and some random December pictures we took practicing with it.

These were taken in late October.  Josh and Sofia were semi-cooperative, we got some good pictures.

The kids continue to enjoy Montessori school while Mom and Dad continue to work (not quite as enjoyable).

Enjoy the most recent school pics…..

Family fun at the state fair.  Rides, pretend farming, and animals to feed/see.

Catalina and Mike Ormsby came to visit this summer.  They are expecting their first born in late November.  I hope Josh and Sofia did not terrify them….they were pretty crazy during the visit.  We all really enjoyed having them stay with us.

Pictures of Sofia and Josh having fun at their friend Sophia’s 3rd bday party.

We lost Lola to cancer last Friday 6-4-2010.  Angie and I were both there with her.  It was more difficult than either of us could imagine.  She was a healthy dog just 3 months prior.  She was unable to eat and barely had the strength to walk so we did what was best for her.  Lola was only 7.5 years old and a very sweet dog, she was never sick until the end.

Sofia and Josh have both repeatedly asked about her.  We told them she was very sick and had to go up to a happier place.  Sofia translates this to “going up in the sky” and we think she understands Lola can’t come back.

Below are some of the last minutes we spent with Lola.  She will be missed.

Enjoy, these pictures came out very well.  If only Daddy was as pretty as his kids……

Sofia and Josh both smiled for this year’s school portraits!  Enjoy.
