Back to the blogging...

Alright people...I have been a slacktastic blogger. Life's been happening...I've been lazy mostly! Since September....
-We celebrated Emerson's first Halloween and Christmas. It was great!
-Emerson turned 1. Holy smokes--where did this year go!!
-We took a trip to Mexico. It was...interesting. SO happy to be home!
-Lots and lots of other things have happened I'm sure, but I am drawing blank at this moment! I'll just add some pictures!

When we first got to Mexico, the family had organized a birthday party for Emerson. They had decorated, had a cake, pinatas--the whole bit. It was sooo nice of them!

I'm a copy cat again--but I loved this quote!

Return to Yourself

Your only constant is that you are you, that you have a core of truth within you and a path to walk, and if you allow your core of truth to tell you which fork in the road to take, if you allow that internal compass to tell you which mountain to climb, then you will do well indeed and have a fulfilling, interesting life. ........ You are everything you need to be, just as you are, right now. You are the center of your own life. You are the beacon that shines and shows the way. Be glad when others walk beside you, enjoy their company, connect as closely and deeply as you can, but always, always, shine your own light and walk your own path and allow them to do the same.


Shine out and show who you are, so that people who are looking for someone exactly like you can find you, do not allow setbacks or even major betrayals to dampen your shine and your being!

Post of Pictures

I have no excuse for not blogging--just busy or lazy I guess! In the last 2 months we've taken the kids to This Is The Place Park, Juan, Emerson and I went to Colorado for my cousins wedding, and that is about it!
Everything is still going well for us. The boys are back as of the end of May. They are living with us full time again, and it's working out well.
Emerson is growning like a weed. He is cutting his first 2 teeth on the bottom. He is 21lbs of pure love! He loves giving kisses-especially to his Nana! He is rolling over, chattering up a storm, eating cereal, and just being his usual happy self.
Juan and I are still working lots and enjoying life!




















We took the kids to This Is the Place Park---Emerson was bundled up most of the time!
