It's the end of October and still hot enough to get wet. Sophia often asks what happened to my other house? It takes me about 20mins to go anywhere (except the grocery store, 10mins). Strangers are nice here and want to talk to you and help you. I've probably talked to more people at the grocery store here in the last few months than the entire 4 years in DC. I have 2 more bathrooms and a lot more house to clean. I've become a spider killer, cricket catcher, and weed wacker. Life here is good! 2 weeks ag...

Yes, saying that and typing it make me feel old. When I look at our engagement photos that I have on a counter in the kitchen I see how young we both looked when we got married. Young or not we're still in LOVE and that's all that matters. To celebrate we went out to eat! The restaurant has a really fun atmosphere with the decorations and all! It was a perfect evening to celebrate our marriage. First food and first fire (Nov 2010). Christmas Card Photo shoot. The girls dressed up 3 days in a row for Hall...

My beautiful little baby. I attempted to make the "gingerbread" houses out of graham crackers this year. The recipe for the frosting was great. It's just that cutting the graham crackers was really hard and the house ended up looking a little crooked. Oh well the girls had fun anyways. We were so blessed to have my parents come and spend Christmas with us. First thing on the agenda when they landed Christmas Eve was make homemade tamales. We helped clean up. Dad is always good for daily walks with sick b...

Sisters in the Backyard. My favorite photo of the bunch. I love the way Sophia is looking at Scarlett. You can see the love in her expression. All photos taken January 2011-. All these photos are from January. Yes, we swim and lay out in the middle of winter. The perks of Texas! Her first "real" cut. So you would think that with Sophia getting daily exams that my worrying would abate. Wrong! I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this doesn't hit anyone else in our home, especially Scar. Aside from all the ...

Halloween- more Oct 2012. There was pumpkin painting, carving and of course Trick-or-Treating! Occasional random pairing-halloween and Christmas card photo shoot). I'm trying to be BACK! So last year's blog hiatus was mostly because I was tired of blogging and wanted to try a new form of memory keeping. I started Project Life. Little one on one time with Mom baking( hard to find now that she has to share me with 2 sisters). I say every kid should experience playing in the mud! I can not to begin to expl...

It was survival mode for many days. Things had to be let go of and I had to be ok with that. It was a rough couple months, but I got through it. Amidst all of this our family is so thankful for this new little life that we will be blessed with this July! We hope to find out the sex next month if the baby so chooses to cooperate down there. Sophia is hoping for a brother. The only thing I ask for is a healthy baby. So there you have it. A whole bunch of hormonal thoughts from this preggo lady. Overall we ...

An attempt at 4 year photos. This one was taken at a park on the way home. She was still cold, but I managed to get a smile out of her. 4 People -1 : August. So this is the first month of the year we don't have a family photo with all 4 of us. I blame it on being gone for a good part of the month to CA. Soaking up nice cool weather, the beach, Disneyland, the County fair, cousins, and Mema and Pepa! We went to a department BBQ over the summer and the girls enjoyed some face painting, swimming and kayaking.

Simone continued to be that happy baby, never without a smile on her face. My birthday came and went and I was just fine with that. Rob had to work that day so it was just me and my girls. (we had gone out to sushi to celebrate earlier in the month). We attempted Christmas card photos and this was the favorite. Why do I torture myself? It's only getting harder to get everyone to cooperate as we add more little ones to our family. You are blogging again! Oh how I miss you! Your babies are so big! Behind t...

Scarlett's Blessing- 3 months. Last month Daddy gave Scarlett a beautiful blessing. One that brought tears to Mommy's eyes. We love this little girl so much ( all chubs and thunder thighs included). She continues to be such a happy, easy going baby. She hardly ever cries. She loves to suck her thumb and bat at things, smile, giggle. Watch her sister play, and just recently she started grabbing toys and bringing them up to her mouth so she can suck on them. Also tried the Magic Cookie Bars- more yums.
