Belated - 8 months.

Well they say better late then never. Since this month was full of milestones for my little girl I decided to do a post to honor that, even though it is a bit late and she's eight and half months old.
Her character is really showing now, don't be fooled by the pictures. This lady knows what she wants.


This month she took her first trip out of the country.
She got two more new pearly whites, the top ones.
She got weened, that was a biggie for her, and started eating a lot more solids.
She fell of her crib for the first time.
She started standing by herself.
She can go up the stairs alone.
The fascination of the month is toothbrushes, toilets and garbage cans.
Her favorite place this month is the bathroom.
Her favorite foods are tomatoes, apples, bananas, yogurt and papaya. Her favorite drink, juice. Her favorite drink not allowed, beer.

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone.

Travels and this n that.

Shame on me !! I haven't posted since November 4th., I even missed Ayleen 's monthly post... what a shame ...I'll have to make up for that lost post and post a belated one. I have some cute pictures I want to upload and I'll be getting to it soon, pinky promise!

That was in the middle of the desert somewhere, I think close to Torreon.

My happy little trouper, taking a brake from her car seat.

The Lord has done many awesome things for me personally this past week or two, for which I'm really grateful... I know I'm spoiled...heh. I really ain't a good writer, that, coupled with lack of time is gonna leave you, dear friend, with just maybe a few highlights... and some pics , of course.

We had an appointment in Ciudad Juarez for some important paperwork, the Lord so sweetly worked it out that at the same time we were there, two other family couples were there also doing the same paperwork,which was a a big blessing as far as fellowship, prayer power and also very inspiring and fun. Big thanks to the home there for being so sweet and going out of their way to make sure we were accommodated well.
Ayleen was a very good girl and did fine the whole two day trip.
Poor baby had to get weaned because I had to get a few vaccines... like six... which made me sick as a dog, but even that was a blessing in disguised cause it forced me to go slow and not overdue it. After that we crossed to El Paso and then on to San Antonio, Brownsville and then home .
I missed my boys so much. Came seven in the evening, when it's usually parent time it felt like something was missing, they were such little troupers . It was the first time I was away from them for more then three days.


My little guerita: Ok I can't stand this any more!!

Family.

This is one of the few pictures of our family. It takes time to be a family, to weave the tapestry of memories, experiences and feelings that create the uniqueness of each family, it's so worth the time invested.
Take time to love those you love for they will not always be by your side and always treasure the gift family is, don't let the little annoyances of life get in the way of showing your true feelings. Love truly is the most important thing. Perfection, oh well.... nice thought.
Hasta la vista!
