Looking For...

It shouldn't be much of a surprise. I LOVE red!! I'm starting to think, it's a "Latina" thing. Most of my friends, yup, they love it too! And now that I've got a fair skinned, dark haired, little lady to love, I want to dress her in little red dresses! Just like this one. :)

Has anyone seen this dress anywhere? Or now where I can find it? I'm just in love with it! The color is perfect! The style is adorable! And to me, this is just perfect for spring and summer!! Now if I could only find it...

Meet Zoe

One of the reasons, that Gabe and I wanted to move home, was so we could spend more time with Marianna. It was very important to us. Since we agreed to be her Godparents, we wanted to be active in her life. Not just a phone call, once a week.

Our Commadre is a good inspiration for this. She is very active, in all her Goddaughters' lives. It's super important to her. She makes special trips out here, for birthday parties, dance recitals, things like that. She can tell you what size, each girl wears. Favorite colors. The must have toys. And favorite characters. Wow! We only have 1 Goddaughter, and I have a tough time, keeping it all straight!!

As my pregnancy is coming close to it's end, I feel like we need to spend more time with Marianna. Show her, that she's still important to us. Since March, we've gotten really close to her. She stopped relying so much on her momma for food. Which meant, more sleepovers for us!!

While getting to know our Goddaughter, there are certain things that just make me smile. Girl loves her some frijoles! Like nobody's business! Gabe is getting her addicted to Bueno tortillas. Sorry David!! Marianna can talk your ear off. But it's the sweetest sound!! She loves her twin brother to no end!! Whenever Marianna stays with us, we have to call David Jr. (aka, "The Boy.") They talk for a good 15 minutes. Telling each other about their day, how much they love each other, and goodnight. It melts your heart!!

We're also learning, don't you mess with Marianna's Sesame Street time!! Don't do it. We have to watch both the english, and the spanish version. Even if, on the rare occasion, it's the same show. Oh, and don't get between Marianna and her BFF...Zoe!!

Yes, this rather ugly, orange creature, is our Goddaughter's BFF!! Her smile gets bigger, there's a twinkle in her eye, and those belly laughs grow...whenever Zoe is on!! Why Zoe? I don't know! But that's her gal!

We've asked our Commadre to make an outfit, just like Zoe's, for Marianna. One of her Christmas presents. :) I'm pretty sure, we've bought out Target, of all Zoe products. Gabe and I, are actually looking forward, to heading north. Hopefully, we can find some new products out there!

And Miss Zoe, must always be tucked in with Marianna. Yes, this ugly orange creature, is a MUST!! Don't forget her. It makes me wonder, what glorious character, is our daughter going to love??

Little Ones

At this point, I can't believe how big our friends' kids are getting. Little Marissa is 4! Today is her birthday. Still in shock! I remember Selena waddling around our wedding. :) My friend, Maria from school, her kids are 10, 8, and 6! Where in the heck has time gone? I still remember when she first found out she was pregnant.

I know the questions are coming. So when are WE going to have a baby? I don't know. We may start trying for a baby next summer. It just depends 0n Gabe's work. And where we will be living. We just don't want to start our family while living here. Nothing wrong with Mexico, we just want to be closer to home. And friends and family.

In the meantime, we will enjoy our friends' kids. They are growing so fast! And have the best little personalities. We talk for hours about Barbies, Transformers, and Disney World. One day, we will have our own little ones. But for now, we are more than happy to be the tia and tio that spoil these precious kids. ♥L

Planning a Trip Home

We are planning a trip home! Sanchoncito is too. With the work that Gabe and Sanchoncito do, it is hard to get away. It is difficult to take time off and to get to travel home. But we are ending a traveling tour. We have 2 weeks off, and we are going home. Well, the guys do have a show in Las Vegas, but it is close to home!

While we are there, we are going to Marissa's 4th Birthday Party! At least I am. The guys have to work. 4 years old! Girl is getting old!! We are also going to spend some much needed time in our Palace in the Desert, as my husband refers to our home. And eventually we will make it up to see our parents for a few days.

To tell you the truth, I am just looking forward to some time with our friends. The Matanza sounds too good to be true!! And it is green chile season. I can't wait to smell the fresh roasting chile! Gabe is dying for some Bueno corn tortillas!! Now, it is time to actually start planning this trip home. ♥L

Time to Start

It is about time that I start my own blog. Gabe and I travel so much, that we don't get to see our friends and family nearly as much as we'd like. Living in an entirely different country doesn't help either!

We don't even get to talk to family and friends over the phone as much as we'd like. I rely on email to keep in contact with some of our loved ones. But it would be nice to have a place to document some of our life. I see a blog as a online scrapbook of our life. A place to share our adventures. I hope you enjoy the ride as much as we do! ♥L
