Happy Birthday Daddy!!!

We are counting the days to be reunited as a family again. It's been crazy how many times we've been separated during the past 3 years. I wish we could be together to celebrate your 31th birthday, Andy. The only thing I can say is that I love you tremendously. I'm thankful to have you in my life. I'm so proud of the amazing man you are. Your achievements are also mine. You are a wonderful man and a excellent father. Thanks for all you do for me and the girls. I've followed you to so many places and I'm happy to keep journeying with you forever. We miss you so much!!!
Happy Birthday my LOVE!!!

Household Photo Tag

My friend Emma has tagged me in a "Household Photo Tag". The Rules are that you have to take the pictures how your house is now- no cleaning up.
What a fun way to take a break from organizing and preparing documents needed for passports, visas, and so on.
May I present my house...

Kitchen Sink
Fridge

Favorite ShoesI got these shoes about 2 months ago. I use them most of the days. I think they are better than flip flops. I often check if Payless Shoes has brought more but I'm not being lucky.


Favorite RoomMy favorite room is my kitchen. I love everything about my kitchen and I spent most of my day here. In this room is where I teach seminary, study, cook, eat, and so on. I followed the "tag rule" so you can see the big mess I have with documents and all the forms I have to fill up.

Laundry Room
Bedroom Closet
Bathroom

What my kids are doing right now
Catalina going down the stairs.

Julienne playing "Sorry" and "Pictionary".


I also included my sweet Mom who was putting the clothes away after ironing it. Thanks Mamita...you're the best. I could not do it without you.

And here is Cuba about to get back inside the house after going potty.


Self Portrait

OK, so now I now want to tag Emily (show me your house in Ecuador!!!) and my awesome friend Shelly (I'm dying to see how your new house looks like). And anyone else just for the fun of it!

Happy Easter!!!

I've been an awful blogger. I totally acknowledge the overwhelming catching up I owe to everyone. I'll try to do it soon. For now I want you to see these beautiful Easter weekend pictures of the girls. I especially want Andy to see them: Look Andy our beautiful girls!!! And thanks Grandma Margaret for sending these adorable yellow dresses for them.

Yesterday we went to a Primary activity. We had a very fun Easter Egg Hunt.

Here is Abuela helping my little egg hunters.

I love this picture of Catalina. It's so funny that she was picking just the "girl eggs" (as she said), which are the different shades of purple and pink exclusively, until I told her that she better pick anything or she was not going to have that many; not that I was going to let her eat all that candy anyway...lol.

Monito did so much better this year. She learned that she has to pick up a few eggs and then open them and enjoy them. Last year she was just worried about opening the egg and instantaneously eating its content, and then going for the next one. That also reminds me that I no longer have a baby in our family. She has grown up so much...sniff sniff.

Here are most of the Key West Branch primary children.

The following pictures I took today in the Church garden.

I adore this picture. I told Julienne to go by Catalina to take a picture and Catalina hugged her little sister in such a spontaneous way that I just love it.

Monito showing her beautiful big front teeth (bunny teeth) smile.

My sweet Catalina and her adorable smile. When it comes to taking pictures she is a pro in giving me her best smile and pose.

The girls showing their beautiful dresses.

"Shocking kiss". I just told Catalina to kiss her sister for the picture. Julienne has a hard time staying still but I guess Catalina knows exactly what to do to make her stop moving. LOL.

Going around...
and around.
