Awesome! I just called Sandro to check it out. Juan, you rock for taking your students to City Hall.

Hey! So cool. Kyla and I were jealous. I went with her fifth grade class to the capitol last month...the kids were so bummed when we toured Arnold's office..but no sight of Arnold! We were all hoping...but no such luck. It's been fun checking out your site from time to time. LOVE the pictures of Scarlett!...especially when Juan does her hair!~smile! We miss seeing you all now and then!
I haven't posted in awhile, and I still have no pictures to share, but I thought I'd put a few words down anyway. (Let me take that back, I have pictures to share, but I'm not the in-love-with-my-pregnant-body type, so any picture you see of me will be from the neck up.) Last night we took Christmas photos at my parent's house for their Christmas cards. (Again, I was seen only from the neck up:) ) It was so much fun. I forget how much fun my family has when we're all together. Jimmy took it upon himself to set the room up like a photography studio, even though Mom was just taking the picture with her tripod and self timer. Mom made delicious chili and corn bread and we all sat around and basically showered Chloe with attention. Juan and I had to leave early because he's sick (sinus infection) so I had to get home and baby him. I told him it was pretty funny that his 7 mos. pregnant wife was hauling herself off the couch to get him his little face warmy t...
I haven't posted for a YEAR!!! Here's the big problem: as a chronically unorganized person, I thought a blog was the answer to my lack of baby books and various memorabilia. But now I've officially failed at keeping the blog, which makes me THE WORST MOTHER EVER. I will not let this be my legacy, so I plan to start over! (Heard this before?) Here's a quick 2010 catch-up (since my last post, anyway) Savannah turned one. We went on a Spring Break vacation to San Diego. We had two glorious weeks in Hawaii, one week on Oahu and one week on Kauai. We went to Florida for Thanksgiving. We went to Disneyland and Palm Springs after Christmas. Milestones in 2010 were: Savannah started talking and walking("Mama" was her first word, no surprise there), Scarlett completely potty trained, Scarlett started pre-school, Savannah found her "attitude." \ We also found out that we're expecting baby #3. Call us crazy, call us a drain on our planet's natural reso...
Scarlett Eve Valdes was born Saturday, February 17th at 10:34 AM. She was 8 lbs, .02 oz and 20 inches long!! It was a pretty awful labor, for both of us... I went into labor Thursday night, got sent home, and then at noon the next day realized that this was serious!! I waited until Juan got home from work and then we went to the hospital around 3:00 PM. I was in pretty heavy labor from then until she was born the next morning. Not very fun! I ran a pretty bad (and unexplainable) temperature while in labor, I think I peaked at around 102 degrees. Because of this, the baby was wisked away to the nursery for observation. Luckily she does not have any signs of infection, but she does have jaundice, so they're keeping her under the blue lights. It's hard (hard being a mild term, it's the most awful thing I've ever experienced) being home without her but I know she's getting good care and hopefully she can come home soon. Meanwhile, Juan and I have pretty much moved into ...
