Hi guys, we're still here. A few pix to let you know what we've been up to. Sophia turned two years old a week ago, which was great. She is talking and singing up a storm, having turned into quite the apt young'un. Samari is, naturally, three months old now and already growing up. As you can see here, he can smile, laugh and do a push-up.

Samari's just happy to be here

And relishing the weekend option of napping near mom.
