Dinnertime chat.

We were eating dinner and Mark got an emergency call, while he was on the phone this is what he missed:
T after poking his eyeball because he waving his hands around instead of eating
T: I hurted myself, my eye hurts.
E: My eye hurts.
T: I think when they took out my tonsils they burned my eyes.
Z: It's been so long since I've had a strawberry it's kind of sour. Do you remember when we took strawberry shortcakes on a picnic last summer?
T: Do you know what real people do when they go on picnics and there is nowhere to sit? They use a blanket. They really do.
E: I want some agua. (climbing down from the table, climbing up the counter and retrieving a cup, filling it with water and then proceeding to get everyone a cup of water but taking a sip of each as she was bringing it over to the table.)
T: She is the police officer water girl.

Never a dull moment!!!

This is a house we were considering due to a major drop in price. We can't, but it was fun to dream for a while. It has well over 7000 square feet and is priced about $250,000 from where it was first listed. We have too much other debt to qualify for the loan, however we know what we need to work on to be ready for the next opportunity. It was a lot of fun looking at it and considering the possibility even though reality finally set in.

Fun Family Pics!

T has been sleeping on the couch since his surgery. This morning I woke up at 5:30 to feed the baby and I walked out and found this scene in my front room. Maple apparently doesn't mind sharing her bed with my son.

The girls hanging out together.

L with her eyes wide open.

Z with his new do.

Our first week home.

She is still smiling after having to share her princess throne. If any of you know my dad he doesn't like cats, so it's a good thing he is taking a cat nap!

I realiza this picture is bluish. Mark has been messing with the settings on my camera. Anyways the kids love holding their baby sissy. E tells me every five minutes that the baby is crying and has to be present for every diaper change and feeding.

Here she is strutting her stuff. She had gained back 2 oz tipping the scales at 5-8oz. Such a big girl. I love her so much.

Leily's Here!!!

Here she is! 5-10oz, 19 inches long.

Here's the scoop, my blood pressure went whacko over the weekend and by Tuesday I wasn't feeling very good at all. So, instead of driving myself home after my Dr's appt, I drove myself over to the hospital and checked in. We decided to do the c-section that night at 9:00, then it got moved up to 8:00pm. She arrived at 8:26pm. She is so small and never makes a peep. She eats just like her sister did, "like a pirahna," as Mark puts it. It was just so surreal for her to be here, she was a little early after all. I'm glad Mark and I decided to have a little burst of nesting last week and got everything ready thinking we had three more weeks to wait. Our laptop died the day before she was born and so Mark went the day after and got us a new one so that is the reason for the delay in photo's. We're fat and happy here. We are so blesse.d I'm okay, and she's okay, life is great.
