A week or so before she arrived we went to the Taste of Cleveland and ran into Dora.
On Labor Day, we visited Cleveland’s “Best Playground.” Joe recently googled “Cleveland best park” and came across this playground. It really is very nice. It’s near Beachwood, on the east side, and about 20 minutes away. Preston Park has several play areas ranging from a large sandbox complete with pails, cranes and water, to various two-story playhouses. The playhouses include a fire station, police station, bank, and a train.

Numerous slides, climbing walls, swings, and bouncy cars dotted the playground.
Itzel’s taking a year off between high school and college and decided to take advantage of the time to experience living in another country.
We celebrated Itzel’s 18th birthday on September 5th.

Fiona is busy growing and trying to be even more mobile. At Fiona’s last doctor’s appointment, a few weeks ago, Fiona weighed in at 15 lbs, 5 oz. She started rolling at about 3 months and is now trying to crawl. She pulls herself up on her hands and knees and rocks. She’s managed to pull up one knee and goes forward. Regardless of how she does it, she can certainly move across a room if you leave her on the floor.

Can look up while she rocks!

The week before Joe went back to work, he and Sofia went to the zoo and met up with Rob, Edie and Cora. Sofia and Edie had a fun time watching the elephants and playing at the playground.
We also had time, before Joe went back to work, to go to Columbus for a conference I had to attend. Joe and the girls visited COSI, a science museum.
COSI is a very nice museum and had a great area for toddlers.
We also spent a little time at the hotel pool and Fiona had her first dip.
Lastly, Fiona and I joined Emma and Cora at a “Mommy and Baby” exercise class. Basically I use Fiona as a weight while I do lunges or bicep curls. She loves it though!
