Catching Up...

I already feel like this year is going to end before I know it. I can not believe is February already!
As a follow up from the last post I have to say that we had so much fun with my sissy and her family. In the first week in January (which happened to be the coldest week in Florida in the past 100 years) we went to some awesome theme parks. We went to Universal Studios, Islands of Adventure, Sea World, and Bush Gardens. It was so cool to be able to switch the care of our kiddos and going in twos to do the big rides. We were so cold that had to go and buy winter stuff. And nobody expected such cool weather, so finding what we needed was NOT an easy thing because due to the high demand everything was sold out. I'm so happy that Julienne and Catalina can sleep together while traveling now. They love this new thing my two big girls can do. No more cribs in the hotel room for us.

Hollywood Studios and a bad photographer. How can you cut a person out and say that you got a good shot of us?

I think that Donkey had just burped and that's why we were smiling so enthusiastically.

I like this shot I got. Andy is having a real great time.

My girls' favorite "Curious George".

I love this picture. My niece Camille barely made the height requirement for this ride and I thought that it was pretty intense for a 3-4 year old (Catalina didn't even dare to try it). This is a picture of us going for the second time because Camille didn't wanted to get down. lol.

Catalina and Camille enjoying themselves.

LOL.

Here are my sister and her hubby in Manta from Sea World. Definitely my favorite coaster ever. It was just out of this world.

Catalina and Nicholas.

My oldest kid having fun. LOL.

I guess it is not that easy to be a child.

It was such a blessing being able to spend time with my sister and her precious kids. We had a hard time saying goodbye. My nephew Nicholas was very upset and worried that my girls would forget about them. After all, they spent about 1 month with us and we usually hardly see them. He is so especial and sentimental...love him.
Picnicking at the beach.

Yes, my daughter eats sand. In this pictures she is not sad because of how dirty she was. She is actually whining because I was holding her to take this picture.

Cousins having more fun.

They look so adorable with their matching dresses.

All the cousins together. It is so hard to make them smile and look at the camera all at the same time.

My sister Daniela, I, and our "4 things" minutes before the sad goodbye. I miss you all so much.

After our awesome winter break we once again came to reality. We started school and our routines.
I underestimated the difficulty of this semester. I thought I took "just 2" classes but oh, my goodness. I have a Microbiology class on Fridays from 1 to 7 pm. This includes lecture and laboratory. It's just overwhelming not just for the class itself but because I've been annoying some friends to watch the girls from 12:30 (so I can leave and get to my class on time) to 4:30pm (until Andy gets back home from work). Along with this, Andy has been traveling a lot and will continue to do so until we move. So, because of this situation we decided that it was necessary to bring my mom to the rescue. My sweet mother will be arriving from Chile on March 2nd and will stay with us until the end of May.
