Big Sister

Luna is such a great big sister.
Since he was born she has always loved on him. She kisses him and hugs him. Sometimes a little too much:) She plays with him and makes him laugh more than anyone in the family. I mean really laugh, it's like a chuckle or maybe you would call it a belly laugh. Sometimes she is just jumping or laughing herself. One time it was because she had rice on her face. He thought it was halarious. It is so cute to see a baby so little crack up laughing. He was really cracking up!



It wasn't too long after his birth that we were in the car and I looked back and she was holding his hand. It just melts my heart.



In this picture she went and got something to sit on so she could be next to him. She just likes being by him. I am really treasuring these moments. I hear that the sibling arguing stage that happens when they are a bit older is no fun at all.

Miami 2009

Ignacio, Luna and I took Gabriel on his first vacation and first plan ride.

He did great on the plane. Here he is on the beach.

My boys. Aren't they handsome?

Father' Day Pictures

Two days before Fathers Day I called my neighbor, Tony, who is a good photographer and asked him if he would take some pictures of the kids and I. I told him it was a surprise for Ignacio for Father's Day. My plan was to frame the picture.

Later that night Ignacio and I were putting the kids to bed and Luna said, mommy why do you have earrings on? I replied, so I look pretty. She then said, "for Tony". Ignacio looked over at me. I just laughed, but he tried to get Luna to say more. Of course she didn't. Later that night I told him and we had a good laugh.

8 hours!

My four month old slept eight hours last night. That is the longest he's slept. I got a good 7 hrs, oh it was so nice. I woke up on my own, before him, feeling great and energized. I made my bed, took a shower, and got ready for work. Usually I am so tired the bed doesn't get made and I'll seriously consider skipping the shower to lay in bed a few more minutes. Telling people about this will probably jinx it and tonight he'll probably be up every hour. Blogging about it is a sure way to make that it doesn't repeat. Oh well, still hoping for the best.

When your having a good day, do you sometimes start thinking about all the wonderful things in your life? Amazing what some good rest can do.
So I was thinking how lucky I am to have such a great person to take care of Gabriel.

Sara, is a senior in H.S. and she watches Gabe at my house and she is so smart and responsible. Today luna is home with her too so I didn't have to drive her to school, so I had time to feed Gabe one more time before I leave. Before Sara, I had another great person taking care of him and she might again in the fall.

Luna goes to an awesome school. This week is Art week and they are learing about Picasso and VanGogh! Prior to school Luna was being taken care of by a wonderful and loving family, that was a big blessing too.

My back doesn't hurt.

My husband is amazing and good looking and kind and funny and helps me a lot with the kids. He is an incredible dad.

I've taught Luna Spanish. She is officially fluent in two languages.

I slept well last night.

I have lots a great friends.

My job is nice and my boss and coworkers are all really nice, good people. I was approved to work P.T. which means more time with my cute kids. So glad that worked out.

I got a good night's rest last night.

Did I mention my 4 month old slept 8 hours?

Derby baby Derby

and the number #1 reason Louisville is great!.

Derby with my younger sister. In the clubhouse!We had a great time!

Some highlighter were;

The cab we took from where we parked to the entrance. I believe Jessi said it was a pedicab, I assume that's because the guy was pulling the cart with his bike. That was fun/funny!

Derby Pie

Lots of people dressed very nice

Talking to random people

Finding the clubhouse

Being away from our newborns for a whooping 7 hours! (Mine was 2 1/2 months and her baby was almost 4 months)

And last but not least-hanging out with my cool sister!

Luna loves dressing up Gabriel
