Just a little update on us....






Yea...um..it's again been a month since I updated this blog! I am terrible at this! Here goes nothing.....
At the beginning of April Alex and Pablo went to live with their Mom in California. We were sad to see them go, but it was their decision and they both seem to be doing well. We talk to them a few times a week, and try to keep them in line!
On April 10th one of my best friends in the whole world passed away-my grandpa. He had been sick probably most of my life, but he was still the most amazing grandpa a girl could ask for. I miss him more than words can say! The only good part of all of that was I FINALLY got to see all of my siblings in one place at one time. Everyone was able to come home for the funeral and it was so nice to be able to be with all of them at such a hard time. My grandpa taught me so much-and I have always looked up to him. When I first found out I was pregnant I would beg my grandpa to just wait long enough to see my son. And he did! Emerson and grandpa share the same birthday, and I was able to use Grandpa's name for Emerson's middle name. It meant so much to me! I am grateful to know that heaven is real-and that my grandpa is just waiting for me to one day be with him again...but in the mean time..it's sure hard!
Emerson is still the cutest thing you'd ever see! He is such a blessing to our little family. He is still very calm, peaceful and laid back. He rarely cries and is well adjusted to formula. I am happy to not be the cow anymore--although I do still have quite a bit of baby weight left to loose! =) He really isn't doing any tricks yet.... he coo's and giggles and smiles like crazy! He is a very happy little boy! I love him more and more everyday-it's a very amazing feeling!
I am still working my little heart out-I work 2 days a week in my office and 3 days a week at home. Emerson is cooperating very well with the schedule-but I think Juan is feeling abused! Since having the baby, I feel like I work constantly! I am trying to balance out the work so when Juan is home-I stop working-but sometimes I don't do well with it!
Juan is also working like a mad man! Their work load has really picked up and he is working long hours! We appreciate the extra $, but not the extra time he has to be at work!
I guess that's about all for us..we are still happy, busy, and enjoying life!
