Powder time!

This is what happens when you are focus working on something and your almost 2 year old manage to open a drawer and decides to share her experiences with your 9 months ol...

Mia's earrings

Mia has a big "earrings" problem. She cant keep them on for more than 2 or 3 days. The last earrings that she lost, we decided we were going to leave her without any earrings for a bit. Today my mom came home with new earrings for her, and we decided to give it a try. After 30 minutes of screaming, hubby managed to get them on, and she couldnt kept her hands out of them.It was night, so we tried to keep her hands out of her ears, hoping that she...

Busy busy busy!

We had a good weekend, even though all I did was WORK on my web page!! I hardly played with the girls, but hubby did a great job with them...Anyway, I think it was a gret weekend because I got to finish the most difficult part of my site, and I will be launching it by the end of this week!!!CANT WAIT!...

Dominican Heritage Month

February is the month of the Dominican Heritage. Gaby's school prepared a play from Pre-K to Fifth grade, and I invited my mom to go with us. Hubby was the DJ of the play so he was not going to be able to help me with the girls, so my mom was a lot of help.The school has a Mini Amphitheatre, and it was during school hours, so not many parents were able to attend. But, in overall, I think it was cute, even though they just started practicing this...

Our Dream Lists!

You may have notice that we added a new section in the right side with our "Wish Lists" from Amazon. I call them our "Dream List", because there are things that I may never get the chance to buy, but I use them as a way to keep in one place the things that I currently want for us (those are things that if I were millionary, I will buy right now).I get asked a lot what are the things that the girls want or need, so next timem somebody asks me that, I just direct them to my blog!!It may also serve as an idea for things to buy to your own kids, and...

Meet another Camila

This is Camila... She is the daughter of one of my school friends, and she was born 2 months before Mimi. Her birthday party is one day after my Camila's party, and she will be doing it in the Club of the Marine Corps. So, it's a Nautical Theme.... Here is the invitation I made he...

Poopy party

Warning: This post is about something that happened in my house today, but it's kinda nasty. Dont read it if you are too sensitive.I most confess there was nothing funny about my morning. I was feeling way better, but Mimi and Mia decided it was time to make a "poopy party". They both have the bad habit of taking their diapers off, but this has never been as bad as today. Mimi was playing in her crib, and I was hearing how happy she was over the monitor. The time was passing and she was so happy that I decided to go and check on her. When...

Scarier than fever!

The only thing scarier than my fever, was staying home alone with Mia and Mimi while being this sick!!! Hubby cant call off from work, and my mom fired her maid on Saturday, so it was just me and the girls!!Thank God my body wasnt aching that much, but my head was about to explode. My poor girls were attached to the "tube" mostly all morning. Mia is not a big fan of the TV, but if you give her enough to snack, she will stay wathching it. I gave...

Scary fever

Today we didnt do much.... I was SUPER SICK!! My fever last night was sky rocket, and it was as high as 41.5C/106F (had to substract a bit bc it was an underarm reading... it was 42C/107F). I was already disoriented, and I was hallucinating. It was weird, and I really dont even want to think about it. My friend Heather told me that I could have brain damage, and Medline Plus, too. I will be trying to get a Cranial CT Scan, but I will be calling my OB to see what he thinks.On a good note, my mom took Gaby and me "shoe shopping". Gaby outgrow...

My neighbor is back!

One of the things that I miss about Higuey/Punta Cana is my neighbor. We were such a good friends. We are still friends, of course, but it is just not the same. She was my dialy comfort, and was there for me always. Mia has been always high maintenance, and I really dont know how I will have done it without her. Even if it was to sit on her couch while she kept doing her chores, or simply just looking at our kids playing, but it was great to have...

Sick!

Sore throat, headache... I was just hoping it was not going to get any wors...

Happy Valentine's Day!!

Hubby and I dont exchange gifts on V-Day because we think it's a day that "goes around" the girls, not us. We think our day is our Anniversary, and that is certainly not today!So, I went to sleep at 3:30am last night (or should I say this morning?), getting ready Gaby's goody bags to school. We were not suppose to do this, but we were going to give the card plus some heart shapped candies, and a little bags, and they were so empty... So, we decided...

Empty plate, happy stomach and guilty face

I put Mia on her highchair (with a shirt on) and went to change Mimi's diaper and I put her on her crib to have her milk. Around 5 minutes later when I come back to make sure everything was fine with Mia, here is what I foun...

$50 for shirt and shower

I will pay US$50 bucks for whoever wants to come to do the laundry for the school cloth, and to bath Gaby after school. The shirt has to be SPOTLESS, and Gaby too. Here is a sample of the cleaning that you will be doing... Please notice that the pictures makes it look WAY cleaner!!! In person looks 10 times worst... You also cant look at her "neck maps", and the other side of the arms..... And of course, you cant see the black SOCKS, that were white...

Major milestone alert!!!!

Mimi is getting ready to walk!!!! You read right!! Mimi has been crusing for quite a bit already, going from from side to the other holding onto something, but yesterday she actually took a step!!!!!! She felt right after that, but she can last several seconds standing up without support. She is 8 and half months, but her medical adjusted age is 7 months old. I also have been trying to get her "crawling" on video, but every time I take the camera...

Prayer Request!

I have some catch up to do, and a few things to post about Friday, Saturday and Sunday, but Im finishing a project that Im doing and that I need to have ready for tomorrow. Please, keep us in your prayer this week!! This week may bring NEW THINGS that may change our lives!!! Im not ready to announce anything yet, especially since I dont want to jinx it, but please pray for us.Thanks in advance!...

Pool Time!

We promised Gaby that we were going to let her use the pool as a reward for her good behavior from yesterday at school. I put some diapers in the washer machine and hubby was supposed to hang them in the sun. So, while the machine was washing he set up the girls outside. Gaby came upstairs to ask for the bathing suits, so I put her one, and sent the other one downstairs WITH the camera, of course. I was going to miss it, but I wanted to see pictures...

Ready for the party

That's exactly how Mia looks: Ready for the party! But, where is the party?? I have no idea!! Maybe in the playroom, her bed (considering it's 11pm), or maybe just downstairs.... But the lady got some makeup! Can you tell??? She even has her eyebrows done...

Back to School

Gaby went back to school today, and the teacher said that she behaved pretty good. Gaby did told me that they put her name in the board (when your name is on the board you are like in time out), but she told me that the teacher delete her later on. So, normal behavior for an spirited 4 years old. After school, she stayed with Daddy calmed, but they had to run home earlier than normal, so today is not the day to judge.Thanks for the emails, messages, and for all the signs of affection that we have received from you guy...

Gaby update

She behaved good at home today.... This has a lot to do with Mia waking up at 11am, so she had nobody to tease her the whole morning. Hubby talked to the principal and she is willing to give Gaby another chance. She will be allowed to stay over school hours with hubby, but she has to behave. If she does something like this again, we know it can be fatal for her. We really dont want to be in the need to pay for transportation because we think is ridiculously expensive especially since we live 7 minutes away from school. Also, I cant stay with...

Disappointed

Disappointed, sad, I dont even know what to call what I feel... Actually what WE feel (Im including hubby in that statement). Some of you may remember how proud I was of Gaby when I received her evaluation last month. It was great, and I remember how the teacher couldnt stop saying how well she was behaving. Also, the day that we went to the Botanical Garden, they told me that she was a bit "jumpy" but that everything was fine.A few days later I received a note that says that Gaby has been refusing to work in class, and that she has been staying...

Gianna, Anna Sophia & Ryan

I "met" Gianna while she was in her mom's belly when I did her Baby Shower invitations back in October. Her best friend ordered them from me:Here is Gianna's Birth announcement:She also made me a very unusual but sweet order. Her oldest daughter was born in 2002 and she never got to make her a birth announcement, so she actually order it too!!! She wanted to have ballerines from Precious Moments and this is what she got:Im also looking around for...

Playdate for the girls!

And for us too!!Today we went to my cousin's house for the girls to play with her 2 year old daughter Isabella. Also one of my cousins that was living in Venezuela and now it's moving to Houston is in the country, and also went with her 3 year old daughter Anabella and her 3 months old son Javier. The girls had a blast and we really had a good time. Here are some pictures of the girls.... Too bad that Javier was not in the pictures, but my camera...

Meet little Fifi

Fifi is a beautiful little girl that I have been working with since she was born. She is almost 5 months old and it's a total cutie. I just did a Valentine's Card for her and I cant believe how much she has grown. I mean, it looks like it was yesterday that I did her birth announcement.I wanted to share the cards that I have made for her so you guys can see how much she has grown (and of course, for you guys to see what I have been designing).Here...
