A New Day Every Day

Grandpa Julio came out to Florida to meet his newest granddaughter and to spend time with us. It was a fun visit! Auntie Mariposa did this! Luckily, she thought it was hilarious! Cool pic taken at sunset A fire in the firepit we got for our wedding! Four years later, we finally inauguarated the thing! Grandpa and Auntie hanging out Grandpa and his girls! This is a really great picture of Juan and Scarlett in the river. If you click on it you can see them. Scarlett trying her hand at the bike pump Grandpa on the bike ride!

Auntie Mariposa and Uncle Sandro came out to visit. While they were here, Noni came by to see everyone! Auntie Mariposa Noni Uncle Sandro

Sundays are the best days to get pictures of our family in our finery! So, so, so smiley all the time! I just love these two pictures of the girls. Best friends, indeed! Mommy and girls Daddy and girls (Daddy was the only one not finished getting ready!!)

Well... it's the middle of September now, so summer's over and we are back to work and back to a normal, vacation-free existence. (I know, shucks!!) Juan went back to work a few weeks ago, and I was actually back in the middle of August. My job is really easy this year, a wonderful class with great students. I'm only working two days a week (for about four hours a time) which is perfect because I get to spend the rest of the time home with the girls. We've had no nursing or attachment issues from Savannah while I've been gone, too, which is great because I really worried about that. Scarlett and Savannah are just two wonderful girls! Scarlett is speaking in long, full sentences now. So many that sometimes I get taken aback. I don't remember teaching her words that suddenly she'll have. On Friday she said, "Mommy, where is Daddy?" then she crinkled her nose and said, "No. Mommy, where are daddy?" So she has her "to be"...
