This summer the kids and I are spending lots of time outdoors at the parks and pool. We're getting our craftiness on by scheduling a once-a-week craft project (not one of my strong areas). It's been fun.
Laura - My time is spent entertaining my little ones, who are currently home all day with me.
Ryan - My husband Ryan works as a programmer analyst at Sutter Health (a medical company).
Jadon is 4-1/2 and will be starting kindergarten mid August. We're both really excited about that :)
Sarina is 2-1/2, loves to sing, is deathly afraid of potty training, and is looking forward to starting a co-op preschool I'll be doing with her in the fall.
Baby Boy - We're expecting another little boy to join our family in September. We're all excited for him to show up!
Anyone interested in regular updates of my family on my personal blog can email me at lconid@gmail.com for an invite.

Introducing Mia
Hi everyone! I am excited to have a Bird Blog and to be able to keep in touch better with all of you! Here's what's been going on with my little family. We were so happy for Mia to join our family in March. I can't believe she is already three months old. She is such a doll and is always smiling. Here she is in Granny's blessing dress. She is such a good baby, and will hang out anywhere happily. 
She loves her pacifier, and it helps her fall asleep almost anywhere too. She's even sleeping pretty well for me in the night. These are not things I experienced with Diego, so it's nice. Diego loves his new little sister. He loves finding her in the morning when she wakes up, and he is always kissing her on her forehead.
Diego is turning three years old this week! He is so fun to talk to these days, and comes up with the funniest things. He loves Star Wars and going to Disneyland, and playing at the park with his friends, and of course hanging out with his daddy.
Leo and I are doing great. He works for the city, and I substitute teach part time, and teach adult ESL classes on Saturdays. I'm excited to have my summer off! Leo is excited to have a new assignment at his job helping people enroll in ESL courses and case managing them through a job training program. We love our house we bought last year, and we always enjoy the weather here in southern California. Feel free to come visit!
