Going thru old photos

 Today I got to talk to an old friend, Maria Elena Hernandez. I think I can probably count on one hand the people I consider my very good friends. I would say Sonia is my very best friend because every since i met her i don't think i have ever gone extremely long periods of time without talking to her. Maria Elena, Neneka, is my longest friend...I've known her since Elementary School. Tonight, I finally got to talk to her again. I've been looking for her for a really long time. I was so excited when i signed up on facebook in hopes that I would find her but it didn't seem successful until this weekend. Somehow her daughter got onto facebook and sent me an email saying that her mom went to high school with me. I couldn't believe what I was reading... FINALLY!! Anyway I sent Gabi an email and told her to have her mom call me if she could. She gave her mom the message and Maria Elena called. Unfortunely, I missed the call but I called back as soon as i could. 

Now for all of you that don't think Caitlin looks like me.  Your RIGHT!!  I'll stop fighting....  While i was looking for old photos I came across these.  Now I know that I was probably older than Caitlin is now but about the only thing that has any resemblance is the holding the hand up in the air.  :) 

MY LITTLE FRAGGLE ROCK!!!

More Beautiful Babies

I'm very excited this month since Sarah & Dan had their baby Madelyn and two of our friends had their babies as well. Congratulations to Jeremy & Lindsey and Marcus & Scarlette. I can't wait to visit all these babies and Caitlin having new friends.

It's going to be a GREAT weekend!!

Bad Things come in threes

So I'll always say that bad things come in threes.  First, Shiloh gets sick.  He seems to enjoy jumping onto the bed to sleep on it even though he gets hurt most of the time.  Second, We walk out of Walmart to find a flat tire on my car.  There was a car key in my tire that caused it to be flat.  My friend Kerry helped out by picking up David and our bags of groceries while the very helpful service department of Walmart provided their expectional service.  I was very surprised that the service department at Walmart was wonderful.  Houston (the guy at walmart) came out with his little machine and added air to the tire and i was able to drive it to the back to get the tire fixed.  Third, I have a car accident.  That was the first accident in like twenty years.  It wasn't too bad but i still felt so nervous at that moment.  I wish i didn't get those panic attacks when something big happens.  Surprisingly my theory wasn't right this time!!  Fourth, Caitlin got an ear infection infection.  She woke up on Monday with a shut eye with gunk on it and i was sure it was pink eye.  I'm not sure what worse, pink eye or ear infection....  regardless I hate when Caitlin is sick and I wish i could have a wand to make it all better.    

Brookeee

This morning was like no other.  It was one amazing morning!!  Caitlin and I were sitting at the daycare waiting for Caitlin to finish her breakfast.  Ms. Gaby (Caitlin's teacher) went to a classroom to get Brooke and when Brooke came out of the classroom, Caitlin pointed and said, "Brooke".  I was so amazed that I praised her as much as i could without looking like a crazy woman.  It was the neatest thing to see her see her best friend come out of the room.  Brooke came over and sat on my lap and Caitlin reached out and touched Brooke on her leg as if to say, "Good Morning Brooke, it's nice to see you."  I told both girls that it was time to go into their room so Caitlin reached to hold Brooke's hand and walk over to the classroom.  Caitlin was walking backwards but would not let go of Brooke's hand.  It was the cutest, cutest thing.  They are going to be great Best Friends!!

18 months

Well Caitlin has passed her 18 months and it's been a wonder adventure.  It seems to me like a switch was turned on and she's been talking so much more.  She says things like, more, please, nana, brooky, yea, and doggie.  She also gets excited with school buses and concrete trucks.  I think the concrete trucks are because of the movie Transformers.  It's amazing to me how fast she has grown up and developed.  Amazingly, i still wonder on a daily basis how i was able to create this beautiful and smart little girl.  She loves going to daycare to see her friends.  This week's routine included me asking in the morning if she wanted to go play with Brooke and Olivia.  Every single time she would say, "YEA".  She always seems so happy to see them when we get to the school and they are there or if they walk in when i'm there.  I would not trade my life for anything in the world.

I love my husband and my little girl.
