Say cheese!

I've checked out a bunch of books from the library. You guys know I don't like fiction, so I check out stuff in order to learn something new. This time it has been all about photo editing. I'm having a blast!!! it is so much fun to know that I don't need to spend hours in the dark room to get the results I want from my pictures. No more wrinkles, pimples, gray hair or anything "not likeable" will be in the models of my future pictures!! did anyone say "cheese"?

Big Brother

Sean,

Como quisiera que supieras leer para que vieras lo que pienso de ti. Eres el mejor hermano mayor del mundo. Gracias por apoyarme al cuidar a tus hermanos. Eres realmente maravilloso.

I'm tired!

Digital scrapbooking is so much fun! oh my! I love it!! However, I am FALLING asleep everywhere!! and that stinks! This whole idea of giving myself some "gaby" time has been awesome for my sanity, but it starts after Alexa's last feeding before bedtime (11 pm). At that beautiful time I get the peace I need to get inspired, but I am definitely not getting enough sleep.

Oh well, I guess I will do it less often or less time every day. I hope you guys enjoy what I have made in the last few days. I certainly enjoyed making the pages.

My brother

There are people that come and go from our lives without leaving any traces of their existence. However, there are others, that no matter how long they happen to be with us, leave their mark forever. My brother is one of the latter ones. To me, he is like the king Midas. Whatever he touches, becomes gold.

He has been part of every single big milestone of my life and my kids'. He has been right next to me, side by side, helping me become the best person I can be. Yesterday, once again he was there for me. It was Alexandra's first time in a swimming pool. He sang to her and cuddled her so she would stop crying. Later, that same day, he was with us during Sean's first soccer practice, cheering him up in the most loving way. Anyway, he definitely is, by far, the best brother anybody could wish for!

Te amo Papi!!!

Enjoying my new "learning process"

This is so much fun!! and it's free!!! I definitely like the real scrapbooking better. However, I have a couple of angels who like to "touch" my material, and I am not sure I like that. Let's say this is "safer" than having knives and funny scissors on my kids hands. Loving it!!!

Felicidades Nena!!!

Como no pudimos despertarte todos juntos, se me ocurrio que los ninos te cantaran su parte.

Te adoro mi nina!!! Eres la mama mas maravillosa del universo! y nos sentimos inmensamente felices de poder festejarte una vez mas. Pasatela padrisimo y comete una rebanadota de pastel de Antares a nuestra salud.

Te amamos con locura!!!

Chicago my kind of town

It's been a week since we came back from Chicago. However, it is necessary to say that it really is "my kind of town." It was a wonderful trip!

This great city has everything I am looking for...this is people, museums, parks, buildings, enough smog, gorgeous suburbs, an lds bookstore, and at last but not least, a temple!!!

Besides the ups and downs of our trip (I left our lunch in my kitchen, the only thing to eat in the car was rotten crackers, our minivan broke down, the temple had some construction going on, the lds bookstore was closed, it poured on top of us, I forgot Patricks clothes in Michigan and Allie's blanket at the hotel room so she was freezing, etc...) everything went great!!! I mean, all those things are just the "salt & pepper" of our life, right? Anyway, I loved loved loved this city!!! therefore, from now on I will agree with "old blue eyes" Chicago is certainly "my kind of town."

New talent?

In my patriarchal blessing says that I will acquire new talents to bless my family. I honestly don't think that Photoshop can be a blessing for my clan; however, it feels nice to try to learn something new. I am having tons of fun playing with this program!! why? because I have an excuse to give myself a little "gaby time."
