Marco rolled over from his back to his belly for the first time today. God was so gracious to let us celebrate this milestone together as a family. We were all in Alexia's room, getting the kids ready for bed and all of a sudden, his foot pushed on my leg a little bit, and over he went. We ended up scaring him and making him cry since we all applauded and got way too excited. I was so happy that Diego and Alexia were able to see it because they always ask about when he will roll over, talk, walk, eat, run, etc.

We're having a good week here. Yesterday we hosted Ricardo's team from work for dinner and had a nice time. The kids and I got everything ready during the day then we went to Diego's soccer practice at 5:45 and I pulled him out early (at 6:15) to make it home for the guests to arrive at 6:30. Oh dear, that was rough. He was hysterical and cried almost the whole way home. I felt so bad. I had told him before practice began and he seemed cool with the idea so I didn't think it would result in such tragedy, but he was crushed. He finally calmed down when I told him that he could play soccer in the backyard with some of Papi's workmates. Of course the guys were really nice and were happy to play with them, but one complained that Diego had asked him out to play just to embarrass him because he couldn't seem to get the ball away from Diego :)

Alexia was the socialite of the party and asked everyone what their name was and was happy to chat with them while she munched on their appetizers. I wasn't able to sit down to eat with them since I had to take the kids up to bed right after we served dinner, but I made it back down in time for dessert.

Here are some photos from last Friday that I just uploaded from the camera:

I mentioned in the last post that Diego and Alexia had gone to sports camp together last Friday. This is how I found them when I picked them up at noon...enjoying Popsicles! This was Alexia's first time at sports camp and she LOVED it. When I drooped them off and saw that Alexia was going to be the only girl, I asked Diego to take extra care of her...and he did not let me down. Coach Todd said he was an awesome big brother. Praise God! Todd also said that she listened better than any of the boys - go figure! They played soccer, did gymnastics, arts and crafts, story time and snack time.

In the evening, Ricardo's aunt came over for dinner, along with Aldo, Eliana and Cami.

Tia Rosa was happy to meet Marco!

She wanted him to enjoy the pupusas and fried yuca with us.

We have a new participant in the counter top smoothie routine :)
