Update

Hi everyone! Things are pretty good around here The weather is beautiful and we are enjoying the last days of Fall before Winter comes. YUCK! Sophia is going to be a "Corpse Bride" for Halloween and Kian wants to be Batman He tried on his costume and Juan and I had flash backs to Jake at 5 years old. Remember when he wore that Batman outfit ALL the time with his cowboy boots? Kian is not doing so well in school. His teacher is not sure he is ready for Kindergarten. We are going to try him there for two more weeks an if he does not do well, he will start again next year. Westminster offered me a Fellowship so I can complete my Masters! YEAH! I am so excited to go back to school. Juan is doing REALLY well in the ER. He is a Master IV start now and he is getting called to other units in the hospital to start IV's. He is really enjoying his work and he is really good at it. Gabe is getting so big already and he is much more vocal now. We love and miss you all. See you in the Spring!

Welcome home Jake!

Look at Gabe's big smile! Jacob is home and we are so excited to have him. He looks really good and happy. Thanks to Nana and Poppa for taking such good care of him!

Hi Family! Just a quick update on ow things are going:

Juan started his new job and he is doing great! He LOVES the ER!

Gabe weighs 13 pounds as of Wed! He is sooooo cute!

Jacob comes home next weekend! YEAH We miss him!

I started my Legal Nurse Consulting stuff and I got my first case from the Colorado State board of Nursing. I am soooooo excited!

Kian made friends with the little boys down the street. " Boys in the Hood, Preschool addition". I heard one of them say " I am going to borrow your bike but I won't scratch it." They are like little shrunken down gangstas. Kian is very enamored. We are a little worried.

Sophie is reading full fledged now. She is really enjoying her books.

Mini is still trying to figure out why Gabe gets to breast feed and he does not.

We love you all!

Gabriel is going through a "BOOB" phase. He only wants mom and he wants to be held ALL the time! He nurses constantly and is getting really big. He is into 3-6 mos outfits. He did not even get to wear many of his 0-3 outfits. He goes next Friday for his vaccines.......Dad has to take him!

Juan started his new job and he is so excited to be doing what he loves. Kian has had a bit of trouble in school because he is an Atencio. Sophie has had NO problems in school because she is an Albalate. Jacob wants to come home now and I am so happy! I really miss him!

She's really let herself go......

Take a close look......this is a female camel with her humps sagging to the side! We took the kids to the zoo today for Gabe's first visit. He was less than impressed. Juan saw this camel and decided she was the only married camel in the bunch. She just did not care anymore! Every time she stood up her humps nearly pulled her back down again!

Our deep dark family secret revealed............

I actually had twins! One was just so funny looking that we are passing him off as the dog. He THINKS he is my other baby anyway.......He can't get any closer to Gabe than he is without actually breastfeeding too!

Kian and Sophie started school and Kian has already gotten into a bit of trouble. Though he says he does not want to talk about it. It must be too painful. Ahhhh, his illustrious career begins.
