Spring Break

























I was checking my pictures, and I can tell you that nothing does justice to how much fun we have been having over these couple of days, with Spring break going on. Nothing big, nothing grand. Just the joy of having this little family of ours together, enjoying the weather that was extremely nice for a couple of days. Getting to {finally} see the neighbors after months of hibernation. We even have new neighbors right next to us! Funny, when I went to introduce ourselves, the girl told me "we met before!". Turns out we did, when she came to see the house for the first time. Nicole saw her going in and she insisted that we go there and tell her to buy the house, because it was soooo lonely and needed somebody to love it and take care of it. Yup, that sounds like Nicole! I'm a little surprised that they didn't run out and bought property on the other side of town!

New shoes. Ice Cream treats. New haircuts. Play dates for Nicole, play nights for the whole family. We all jump and play pillow fights in the living room. A lamp gets knocked down, as do all the tables. So, my home won't make it to the cover of BHG, but who cares? We're certainly having fun!

Not much to report, just having a nice, calm, strangly peaceful kind of time!

Isn't it great being able to spend some good quality fun family time together? In this day and age, those times are so few and far between.

By Cesar's eyes, I can tell you guys are having lots of fun. (Looks like he needs some rest.) These are the days the children will remember as their happiest when they grow old. Enjoy them while you can :)

Paula my friend, you have the BEST family! You, in my opinion, are living your life to the utmost fullest extent and spreading that fun, love and joy to your precious offspring. I have no doubt they will live, laugh and love throughout their entire lives.

You contineously show me how Brian is your absolute soul mate and that you both are enjoying life, moving forward and never

God Bless!

A few weeks ago, after work, I heard Brian scolding Cesar. (If you don't know it, Brian and I work from home, so my office is just a few steps from the kitchen, so i can hear pretty well) He was starting to sound VERY unhappy, especially because Cesar wouldn't own up to his mistake. OUCH! So, here I come into the kitchen and start listening in: BRIAN: "What do you mean you didn't take them? Are you hording them? Did you hide them?" CESAR: "Brian, I didn't take them, really" BRIAN: "What do you mean you didn't take them? Coco and Connor can't reach them. Mom wouldn't take them, and they did NOT grow legs". ME: "What are you guys talking about?" BRIAN: "It's just that we had the gumballs' container almost to the middle this morning, and now, there's barely one layer of them. The only one who could have done it is Cesar, and he won't even tell the truth!" ME: "Eh... mmmhhhh ... did we have t

About birds and TEA

Before I start my update... I just had to take a picture of Connor. He is such a BOY!!! I think boys are programmed to be goofy... If you have a boy, I'm sure you have found these kids of scenes, pretty much daily! Anyways, this Good Friday I participated in The Way of the Cross celebrated at 3 pm in front of the Planned Parenthood clinic we have in Aurora. I was so glad to see such a large group, it kept growing as the minutes went by. It was pretty cold, and as usual, I was not wearing a sweater or jacket, but it was well worth it. We prayed for the babies being killed, for their mothers and for the doctors and nurses that assist them. May God help them all. As I did this, Noni came to take the kids to decorate eggs. We did decorate some at home on Saturday, too, but Noni's were a lot more dramatic, especially the one with all those feathers! Coco and Connor found some presents from the Bunny on Sunday morning. After church, we went to Noni and Papa's to celebrate with ou

Plank Jr. High

Last Thursday, Cesar had his Jr. High open house. It's a brand new school, so everybody was sooo excited to go to this new place. The original plan was for Brian to be here and take him, or for all of us to go, but Brian, of course, was sent to the Indiana office at the last minute, so he couldn't get here on time. And that left ONLY the option of mom taking him and his friend Aaron to the open house... With the two li'l ones in tow, mind ya! I was sooo aggravated, because I felt that Cesar was soooo embarrassed to walk around with Coco and Connor, and me. I had to bring myself back to his age, to try to understand that I, too, wanted my parents to leave me alone, but not VERY alone :) I just wanted to feel like a grown up, and my parents all the time around me made me feel so much like a kid. Of course, at 11 you feel like a woman already (naturally!) In any event, I really wanted Brian to be there, to walk with me and help me with the kids in the neverending sea of noisy
