So much has happened in one year!

Visiting our little man in the NICU
Proud daddy
Big sis hugging her little "bra-thur" on Christmas day
Still amazed at how little he is
Big boy is 9 months and already trying to go places!
Our little Family of 4!
It's Boots and Dora!
They are such monkeys! Where one goes the other follows!


Ok, so I noticed that my last post was over 1 year ago! Well...as you all know so much has changed since then. I am going to keep it short before I begin to write a book. Ryan-John was born on December 21st of 2008, two weeks before my scheduled c-section (36 weeks) we were worried for a minute because he was considered premature, had some water in his lungs and rapid breathing. Thankfully his health improved within days and we got to come home on Christmas eve, the best present ever! He is now a little over 1 month away from his 1st birthday!!! Obviously our family dynamics have completely changed and it took me a minute to get used to juggling two kiddos but, I finally feel like I have it together (most days) and enjoy every moment spent with our growing babies. Kalea is almost 3 going on 30, she is so mature and advanced for her age and she never fails to amaze us. She started attending a Spanish preschool in September so that she can have more exposure to the Spanish language and she loves it! She is now speaking more Spanish to me on a regular basis and makes me so proud when we ride home and begins to sing Spanish songs that I once sang when I was her age. Ryan-John is the sweetest baby, he is almost 11 months and he is just such a good boy. He already looks up to his big sister and you can see in his eyes he can't wait for the day when he will be able to walk side by side with his partner in crime :) By the time he walks he'll probably be bigger than her,lol as he only weighs 4 pounds less than she does! Ryan and I had our wedding anniversary in August and are so thankful for our first 5 years of marriage; we are excited to see what is still yet to come.
