HELLO EVERYBODY!!!

It's been almost a year since I've written anything, but believe me when I tell you we've been so busy. Especially since the arrival of ARLETTE CABRERA born on March 17, 2009 ( St. Patrick's Day) at 5:40 pm, weighing 5 lb. 13 oz. and measuring 18.5".

Keira has been a very good girl, considering all of the attention has been geared towards "Arly", sometimes she'll come over and randomly give her a little kiss on her foot or her cheek, but sometimes when she's in a bad mood, she'll give her a quick smack. Keira and Arly are exactly 14 months apart and I think it was the best decision for us to have our children back to back. At the moment Arly is sleeping soundly for approximately 6 hours during the night, she'll wake up to have her bottle and she'll fall back asleep. Keira on the other hand will wake up screaming sometimes twice a night and I'll have to also give her a bottle to make her sleep again.

Here are my two little bundles of joy. It's incredible to watch them grow, smile, sing. Oh Keira's "singing" now, she sings the chorus to "The wheels on the bus". She's starting to do "Head, shoulders, knees and toes" by pointing to her head and ears. It's actually quite hilarious to watch her. Arly's starting to smile and she even started to crack up with Abuelito Josue.

I have so much catching up to do. Last year in May we went to Puebla to visit Jonas' family and while we were there we decided to baptize Keira. We were honored to have Jonas' cousin Beba and Alex to be Keira's Godparents. So we baptized her in the church of San Antonio right next to where Jonas grew up. This church has sentimental value because like I said, it is right door to where Jonas' family's home is. Actually my suegros used to hang out there as adolescents. The baptism took place on a Saturday or Sunday I don't remember. They light up all the candles and chandeliers in the church so it was absolutely amazing. Oh they also had fireworks in honor of Keira's baptism.

That is Keira with her GREAT-GRANDFATHER VINICIO CABRERA. The group shot is Jonas' family was taken in the patio of San Antonio Church and if you take a close look at the yellow building behind everybody, that is the Cabrera Family home. You want to know sometime cool. Keira's birthday is January 17 (patron saint St. Anthony), my birthday June 13 (patron saint St. Anthony Padua) COOL!!!!
