Postponing a post

We're here, but barely. Just wanted to write to say thanks for still checking in on us, but it will still be a few days until I can write a post with pictures. If you know me, you know that I'm the kind of person that folds laundry as it comes out of the dryer. To give you an idea of our life lately, there are THREE loads of clean laundry on the living room sofa, waiting to be folded! We have been busy, busy, busy trying to get everything organized at the new house while still maintaining a fun routine with the kids - play dates and all.
Alexia had her 9-month check up yesterday and, as always we praise God that she is in perfect health. She weighs 17 lbs and 8oz and is growing like a weed. She is sooooo close to crawling, but hasn't quite taken the leap. Her big brother spoils her and brings her all the toys she needs so she feels no rush to learn how to get around on her own :) The other day she fell over while playing in her crib and Diego said (in english) "I'll pick you up Alexia." So sweet.
Diego is a champ and is really excited about his new room. We had it painted green yesterday and he was so interested in watching the painter. He sat right down in the doorway, folded his hands in his lap and carefully studied the painter's every move. He calls it "verde blanco" (green-white) since it's a very light shade of green. We had Alexia's room painted the same color...keeping it simple.
I hope to have some pictures uploaded this weekend for your viewing pleasure!
