It has been awhile since I've posted anything. Almost a whole month! But, not much had changed besides a few new smiles and baby that gets bigger by the day =)
Logan, however, has recently been obsessed with death. I'm not sure what sparked his interest in the topic, maybe it is the recent discovery that my Dad has Hep. C and will be taking some medication that will make him really sick. But anyway, Logan asked me when I was going to die. I explained that no one knows when they are going to die. I told him that some people die when they are young and some people die when they are old, but no one knows when they are going to die. So a few days later we are driving in the car, and Logan says, "Mom, I want you to die in August." I was shocked and asked him why. He replied, "Because then I will know when you are going to die and I will be sad".
Today, after dinner, Logan again brings up the subject of death. And asks if I am going to be sad when I die. I explained to him that we believe in heaven and that after we die we get to go there and live with Jesus. I also said that I wouldn't be sad because I wouldn't have anything to be sad about. I don't think he liked this answer, and keeps insisting that he will be sad when he dies, because he will want to "come back down" and because " I will miss my sister!"
Logan also is obsessed with letters. His favorite show right now is "Super Why". It's a cartoon on KPBS that teaches letters, sounds, and reading with cute little characters that turn into "super hero" readers and spellers. These characters usually have some problem they are trying to solve and they go into a book to learn how to solve the problem.... which they do by finding letters that answer the question to the problem. Throughout the show, different characters use letters, sounds, and words.... its a great show!
In addition to the show, he LOVES to play with the fridge letters... he spells, makes up his own words, and even tries to figure out which letter is which and what sound they make. Drives me a little crazy from time to time, but is great at the same time.
We just got a great book that Karelle recommened on teaching kids to read. Hopefully this will help further our little scholars reading abilities!
Adelina has exciting news too! On Sunday, January 26th, 2008, one day after she turned 10 months old, Adelina officially took her first steps! Since Sunday she has taken many more steps... growing a little more confident in her new ability... like today she walked all the way from the hall closet in out living room to thr couch... about 8 or 9 little baby steps.... and she made it all the way without falling down!

Logan & Adelina Christmas Pictures
Sorry about the quality of the video.... the pictures I have so far are only thumbnails =) But I thought it was fun anyways! Enjoy....
Sibiski Family 2007
2007 is at its end, but it has been an eventful year for the Sibiski Family. We started off the year with a trip to Hawaii… relaxing is the best way to start a new year, especially when you are seven months pregnant and ready to pop!
Adelina Mae was born on March 25, 2007 at 12:23pm, seven days after her due date! She was 8lbs 5 oz, 20 inches long with lots of dark hair.
Shortly after Adelina was born, we celebrated Steve’s 34th birthday! Wasn’t much of a celebration with the new baby in town. But I think he got the best birthday present ever!
In June/July we were surprised to learn that our family would be expanding (again)! The new baby is due April 18th, 2008! We are going to be surprised by the sex of the baby… after all, we already have one of each!
I celebrated my 28th birthday in October. Wasn’t much of a celebration though, mostly watching football ALL day!
Logan turned 4 on the 23rd of October. He is growing up faster than I thought possible! He is such a blessing to us, although some of the time he is a big pain in the butt (or as we’d like to say… a “butthead”).
So, now it’s December and the holiday season is well underway! We are all doing great and hoping for a great 2008, just like our 2007!

Waving
Adelina started to wave yesterday =) She had been sticking her hand out previously when you say hi and wave at her, but yesterday she actually started moving her fingers! She tilts her head slightly and gets a silly smile on her face like she is so proud of herself for learning this new trick =)
She also has been saying Mamamamamamama and Dadadadada. Although, she mostly says Dadadadadada to Steve! Silly baby =)

What a DAY!
Today was one of those days.... we all have this fun cold that we picked up over the weekend camping with the Huggy Bunch in Borrego Springs. So everyone is a bit grumpy and not feeling 100%. Imagine the morning... two sick kids and sick mom and places to go! Ugh!!!!
Anyways, I finally got the children up, dressed, and out of the house into the nice new van of ours. I drove them to my mother's house because it's Tuesday and that's what I do on Tuesdays. But, when we got to my mother's house, no one was home. I had forgotten that she would not be there today because she had stuff to do with work! Ugh... and I had a 10:00 skype conference with a guy in the UK and Dr. Schultz and now I had two sick kids and no babysitter! Luckily, Randie was able to watch them for me at CSUSM so I brought them with me... but, I hadn't fed them any breakfast, didn't have any formula with me, and didn't have time to stop to get these essential things!
Although these nice set backs occured, my meeting went well and Randie took care of the children =) But then the funny thing happened and it makes me wonder if I am a bad mom. We were in the office at school, we had finished our second meeting and Logan was being a handful. He was tired, hungry, and of course, sick! So, he decided that he was going to go outside. He does this sometimes, but he just stays by the door and plays on the hill right outside the window, looking for rocks, and leaves, and whatever else little boys do on a hill. I didn't think anything of it when he said he was going to go outside. But, several minutes later a lady came in from one of the offices next door asking for me: Coral Bruni. She then told me that my son was in the office next door and that one of the faculty had brought him there. Yikes! So I went and retrieved him, feeling really bad that I had forgotten that he was outside (playing on the hill of course).
Later I get a call from Randie.... she says that as she was leaving for the day, the lady from the office next door stopped her and asked about me and my child. This is when the full story emerged about what really happened with Logan. It turns out that Logan wasn't just playing outside on the hill like I had thought. Rather, he had decided that he wanted to go to his van, so he had walked out into the parking lot looking for the van! A faculty member had found him, taken him to the office, and then they had come to get me! But...that's not all! Logan told these nice people that had rescued him that I had left him in the van in the parking lot for two hours! Yikes! Now he's telling stories to people about me leavning him in vans in parking lots!!!! Of course Randie cleared everything up, but still! What sort of mom am I to lose my child without knowing he was lost? And worse, for him to be wandering in a PARKING LOT!!!!
But that's not all... when we finally got home I had to give Adelina a bath and Logan was supposed to be taking a nap. He had decided that he wanted to sleep in my room (which is o.k. and I didn't feel like arguing with him). But, while I was giving Adelina a bath I heard noises that sounded like Logan jumping on the bed. Unfortunately, I couldn't leave Adelina in the bath to go and make him stop (and my yelling wasn't working). But finally he stopped. I figured he just got tired of me yelling at him and didn't think much of it. A bit later, I went to put Adelina in her bed, only to discover the real reason he had stopped jumping on what I thought was my bed. Logan was not jumping on my bed, but had been jumping from the railing on Adelina's bed to my bed and had stopped when the railing had cracked! He broke her bed!
What a day?
