Felipe . . . opps ... I mean Mr. T!

Felipe decided to go with an easier hair cut. He has been cutting his own hair since we got married.

"It's always fun for everyone when Axel comes . . .

Axel came for a week visit. We always have fun with him. He is always so good to play with the girls and he helps me a ton around the house. I can''t believe how tall he is getting, alomst 6 feet. Talk about how quickly time flies, Axel was born my senior year of high school and now Axel is a senior! Crazy. See you this summer Axel!

Victor 5 months

Victor turned 5 months old on the 7th. He is such a sweet, pleasant little boy. His smile could melt anyone's heart. He is great at rolling and he is learning to sit up on his own. One day he fell asleep in his jumper. Anyone who has seen him in that knows he is like a little kangaroo, he usually gets quite a work out. He loves his big sisters and all the attention and love they shower on him.

Amalia the BRAVE

Amalia had her tonsils and adenoids out on Thursday. She is seriously such a brave little girl. Every time I look at her throat, I take a big gulp and wonder how she manages so well. As long as she takes her pain meds on time, she doesn't complain. We are grateful for Top Ramon and string cheese, those are her favorites post surgery.She literally eats Top Ramon for breakfast, lunch and dinner. We are so grateful for the kind and gentle doctors and nurses, we were so impressed with the way they treated Amalia. Also a big thank you to Amalia's family and friends. They have been so sweet and thoughtful. We joke with her that she has had more visits, gifts and get well notes than she gets on her birthday. Thank you again. Meanwhile, we'll hang out at home until she feels 100%.

1 ear infection + 1 ear infection + 1 double ear infection = all 3 of our kiddos over Christmas Break

We had a crazy Christmas break, all three of our children ended up on antibiotics at separate times over a 10 day period. (Felipe has had a head cold and sore ears too and probably needs antibiotics as well, but he is too stubborn to go for himself.) Thank goodness for Motrin, good doctors, medical insurance and instacare! I included a summary of of celebrations picture style:) Poor Victor was SO SICK on Christmas, you can see his beautiful eyes are so sickie. I also love what the girls left for Santa: choc. milk, beef jerky, carrots and marshmallows, what a combination. We had a lovely evening with the Lunds. The food was delicious and the company was as fabulous as ever. We loved playing the chimes, listening to stories and putting on our jammies. We love spending Christmas Eve in their home. Hannah slept over on Christmas Eve and we convinced her to stay over until Saturday as well. It's so fun to have her over and she was such a HUGE help as always---with our sick children and doctor appts. Thanks HANNAH. We were also able to take Amalia to a very nice ENT over Christmas. Her tonsils and adenoids are large. She is scheduled for surgery this month. We are hoping this will put an end to 6 years of sleepless nights, terrible coughing, sinus, lung and ear infections and way too many prescriptions for antibiotics. We are hoping we finally found the answer to better health for Amalia. Poor girl. We are looking forward to a healthier 2010--- hopefully:)
