Lego Night

Alex, showing off his super cool plane that he did all by himself.


Daddy gave permision to the kids to play with his very special legos, that he got during the renewal, :D the kids looked forward to it all day, and it turned out to be a great bargaining chip on my advantage. It's so neat to watch my kids grow, not only grow but develop their personality and particular interest that accompany each new year in their little life, see how they change and grow up so fast and are no longer content with the little simple version/explanation of something but want all the details and all the why's of it. Every once in a while they incorporate some new "cool" line or word to their vocabulary like "Yeah, right!!"... humm...son...aren't you to young to be using those kind of expressions?... and it makes me realize even more that those little ears are always listening, and those little eyes are always watching and what a big influence and roll I play in their lives; the short part of their lives I will share with them but that will mark them for a lifetime and undoubtedly turn them into the men they will be in the not so distant future.What a responsibility, what a challenge...

They came up with these "ships" all by themselves, and were pretty proud of their work.
Ayleen was just happy to fill up her cup with lego pieces and then dumping them out and starting all over again.

Moments

When You Thought I Wasn't Looking

When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw you hang up my first painting on the refrigerator, and I wanted to paint another one.
When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw you feed a stray cat, and I thought it was good to be kind to animals.
When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw you make my favorite cake for me, and I knew that little things are special things.
When you thought I wasn't looking, I heard you say a prayer, and I believed there is a God I could always talk to.
When you thought I wasn't looking, I felt you kiss me goodnight, and I felt loved.
When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw that you cared, and I wanted to be everything that I could be.
When you thought I wasn't looking, I LOOKED....and wanted to say thanks for all the things I saw when you thought I wasn't looking.

Vanity

Free day all by myself is just so conducive to ...vanity!

For the love of dogs...

She loves puppies and dogs and anything that barks. When she's falling asleep in the highchair a bark is the only thing that will wake her up instantly.

Treats

These are the days when breakfast in bed is still a treat and a bag of chips is a weekly special...oh that it could stay this way for ever.




Kids eating chips and watching a movie, Ayleen thought herself so big with her own personal bag of chips, so cute!!

The cutest polkadot.

She's grown and changed so much during this month I've been away. I was expecting her not to want to want to come with me for the first while and that she sort of would forget who I was but as soon as I walked in the door she put her arms out to me and started walking towards me with a shocked expression in her face, after that she didn't want me to put her down for anything. What a relief!!


She's a happy little girl , eats really well, and says "no" for lots of things . It's rather cute really!

She has knew teeth coming in and still has no fear of stairs or falls.

She goes on the slide all by herself and gets into everything , I mean everything.
She loves brushing her teeth and at a year and 4months she's totally potty trained and asks when she needs to go.She gets upset if you take the clips of her hair and wants to put them back on, what a vain little thing!!

I love the way she posed , puts her chin on her shoulder and gives a little smile.


...well, I don't mind working at Mc Donals....

Happy Birthday Son

Very sober while we prayed for his new year.

Filling in the Gap

To fill in the gap for my long absence here in this little space, I offer you some pictures.
We did some traveling up north to DC and that area for about 6 weeks, stayed with some wonderful lively people, got to meet knew friends and say hi to some old ones. It was hard being away from my little sparks of life, I terribly missed my children, I don't think I want to do that again. I got a bit more confident in my driving and I practiced a bit there, of course it's easy because the roads are so wide, driving in Mexico is a whole different story, perhaps one day I'll listen to the still small voice in my head "Just do it", it's about time.

Sexy Husband , downtown DC, 4th of July 2008

Cops in horses , truly worth a picture.

Waiting for the rain to stop.

Life has been on the rough side lately, this year has been one of the hardest ever , yet still, through it all, God is good.
