A New Friend for Kira

The Arking family welcomed it's newest addition on Monday, daughter Ella. Today after Mommy dropped Alex and Ari off at school, she and Kira stopped by for a visit. Just three months apart, we're hoping that Ella and Kira become close friends as they grow up. At the moment, though, Ella's tiny newborn size makes Kira look all grown up!! It's hard to believe that Kira weighed the same as Ella when she was born:

After visiting Ella and her mommy, Kira and Mommy went by the JCC to visit our friend Nancy who hadn't yet had the chance to meet Kira. We had a fun time catching up and hearing about Nancy's daughter's latest accomplishments (she's just a few months older than Alex and Ari).

Mommy had told Ari and Alex yesterday that the mailman would bring them a table today- and Alex remembered, saying "mailman, table?" on the way home from school. Sure enough, when we got home after picking Ari and Alex up from school, we found a special delivery on the doorstep:

Alex and Ari love their new table and it's a perfect size for them to eat their snack, play with play-doh and color!

Finally, Alex finds yet ANOTHER use for the multi-purpose sand pail:
