Hi blog-readers...if there are any of you out there anymore :)
Ricardo has a work dinner tonight so I have his computer at home and as I was catching up on emails, e-bills, news, etc I thought I would write a quick update here. I have my camera connected to the computer as I type, but this computer is not cooperating in uploading the pictures, so I'm afraid I don't have any cute faces to share.
We have had an incredibly busy week and can't believe it's Thursday! We haven't seen much of Ricardo because he has been really busy too so we are looking forward to the weekend!
Since I don't have any photos to share, I will share a conversation from dinner tonight:
I told Diego that a man was coming to look at the roof tomorrow to do a little repair. This conversation followed:
D: "Podemos subir al techo con el senor?" (Can we go up on the roof with the man?)
Me: "No"
D: "Porque Alexia se puede caer y quebrar su cabeza?" (Because Alexia could fall and break her head?"
Me: "Si, no podemos subir porque podriamos caer" (Yep, we can't go up because we could fall)
D: "Y Dios le va a dar otra cabeza a Alexia cuando se quiebra la suya?" (And will God give Alexia a new head when hers breaks?"
I was a bit distracted as we were talking, but as soon as he asked that last question, I stopped what I was doing and had a great talk with him about getting hurt, God taking care of us, etc.
I love the questions that he asks and wish I could remember more of our recent conversations to share...
We have friends coming over in the morning, a worker coming around noon, neighborhood playgroup in the afternoon and (if we get a babysitter), date night tomorrow night. Lots to look forward to!
Wishing you all a happy weekend!!

No more computer :(
You've all bared with me through my computer problems, and now they're over because my computer died. :(
So, I am saddened to say that I will not be able to post to the blog until I get a new computer. Has anyone heard of the Netbooks? Any feedback/information would be appreciated!!
I get to quickly check emails from Ricardo's computer in the evenings, but that's about it.
Please don't give up on us because we'll be up and running in a few weeks again.
Love to all!

Dentist was a success!
Yeay! We had a great morning at the dentist office this morning. Diego was soooo excited to go and kept saying "Quiero ir a la dentista ahorita...ahorita mami...vamos!" (I want to go to the dentist right now...right now mami...let's go!)
Our babysitter came at 10:00 and our appointment wasn't until 11:30 so we went out to do a couple of errands. Amazing how easy life is with one child!
When they called us back at the dentist office, Diego wanted me to carry him because he got a little nervous, but I told him that he could walk and he agreed. He jumped right into the big chair and LOVED it. He said it was like a slide with speed bumps. They had a kids channel on the TV so he was engrossed in the program and was as happy as can be. Just before the dentist came into clean his teeth and do his exam, they called me to another room to start my X-rays so I missed his whole appointment...I was so sad! But they just raved at how well he did and how cooperative and sweet he was. I was a proud mommy! After my (18!) x-rays were complete I went back to his room and he said "Mami, yo queiro regresar aqui otro dia para que me limpian los dientes cuando estan sucios." (Mami, I want to come back here another day so they clean my teeth when they're dirty). He was just glowing with excitement and I think he was also proud of himself at how well he had done.
Then we had to go back to my room for me to get my exam and cleaning done. There wasn't a very comfy chair for him to sit in and he wanted to continue watching the kids channel so they said he could sit on my lap. I pulled him onto my lap, reclined myself back in the chair and he remained sitting upright on my lap for my entire appointment. He had a snack to keep him busy (apples, peanut butter and raisins), watched the TV and was very interested in what was going on in my mouth. Several times he said "Mami, estas contenta?" (Mami, are you happy?) He was worried that it was hurting me, but I reassured him that it wasn't. It was sweet to have him right there with me and I was surprised that he sat still for almost an hour!
So that was our morning at the dentist office. We went to Costco in the afternoon and I bought him a Disney Cars sticker/coloring book as a prize for doing so well at the dentist and he went crazy over it!
Here's the big boy in the dentist chair:

Mid-week greetings
I thought I would just upload some pictures from the last few days. I have a babysitter coming to take care of Alexia and Diego and I are headed to the dentist this morning. It is his first dentist appointment so hopefully it goes well! He will have his appointment first and then he will have to sit through my appointment.
I will let you know how it went when we return...!
Last week was a busy week and Friday was the first morning that we had no plans and no where to go and it was so nice. We just stayed in all morning and did fun stuff, including coloring and playing play-dough. It was the first time Alexia played with play-dough and she didn't even try to eat it...I was so proud of her!
We bought this new bird feeder this past weekend and we have all really enjoyed watching the birds come to eat. We are also having to fight the squirrels away because they love it just as much as the birds do.
This is what our yard looked like when we returned from church on Sunday afternoon - it was gorgeous!

My awesome boys!
