Update

Hi everyone! A few of you keep reminding me on a regular basis that I need to update the blog. I haven't done so in such a long time. It's just that we are always super busy, were all sick for a good month (sometimes it feels like it will never stop!), and just a little overwhelmed at the amount of pictures that we still haven't sorted through.

So what's changed in our lives? Well, I went back to work - still part time but I'm actually going in the office these days instead of working from home. Rosa and Cesar are both going to daycare and they love it! No crying in the mornings, smiles to the teachers when they get there, tons of friends. Just awesome. We were a little worried about Rosa since she was so attached to me but she's doing great. I know I have some pictures somewhere, I'll try to find them soon in the big stash.

In the meantime, here are a few that I was going to post... oh.... 4 months ago!

Cool glasses, no?

Very seriously playing with the computer...

Happy Birthday Abuelita Laila!

Looking at squirrels in the trees...

Aren't they cute?

Merry Christmas

We are a family!

We knew we would be from the moment we saw Cesar and Rosa's referral pictures. Then we knew we were when the final adoption went through but now we know for sure, because Cesar drew it (without any cues)!
Again, Blogger is not behaving, sorry for the sideways picture but I don't know what else to do about it. Enjoy anyway, we've got a talented boy.

Ice cream!

This past weekend, we thought it would be fun to make ice-cream. We all enjoyed it but Rosa kept asking for "mar, mar" (a combination of languages to say more)!

Do I look guilty?

More of the Artist

Here are a few more of Cesar's drawing. He is good and so advanced for his age, it's incredible. We're proud!

Fall festival

In Florida, we don't necessarily notice that Fall is here. The only clue is that the temperatures drop by a degree or so and that Cesar's school is organizing their Fall Festival. Check out Cesar's tee-shirt, he made it himself.

The Firefighter and the little Cat

I know, I know, I am very late in posting the Halloween pictures but I had to sort through more than 300 pictures. The choices were difficult, so I will just post a lot of pictures here now and you can decide which one is your favorite. A little background: every time you ask Cesar what he wants to do when he grows up, he answers "Firefighter!". And since Rosa is our cat's best friend and tries to persecute him all day long, she had to be a kitty cat. First we went to pick up Cesar at his daycare, followed by a trip to the zoo next door to finally finish the evening in our neighborhood. Enjoy!
