Mother's Day and Kumquats

On May 11 we celebrated my first Mother's Day. It was very special for so many reasons. Jose did a super job of helping Mateo show how much he loves me from cards with Mateo's voice recorded to a handbag picked out especially by Mateo - it was a great day!

El 11 de mayo celebramos mi primer dia de la madre, fue muy especial por muchas razones. Jose Fernando le ayudo a Mateo mostrar cuanto me ama desde tarjetas con la voz de Mateo hasta una cartera nueva que Mateo escogio - fue un dia espectacular!



Not only was it a great Mother's Day because of Mateo, but we also rejoiced in the news that Mateo will be a big brother in early December! That's right, we're expecting another baby - this time growing in my belly. I am currently 12 weeks along. We heard the heartbeat at 9 1/2 weeks. Here is a picture of Mateo with his baby "kumquat" sibling at 10 weeks (each week, am email tells us what's happening with the baby and how big he/she is compared to a certain food - at 10 weeks it was a kumquat).


No fue solamente un gran dia por tenerle a Mateo, sino tambien gozamos con las noticias que Mateo sera un hermano mayor en el principio de diciembre! Si, estamos esperando otro bebe - esta vez creciendo en mi barriguita. Al momento tengo 12 semanas, escuchamos el corazon con 9 semanas y media. Aqui hay una foto de Mateo con su hermanito/a "kumquat" con 10 semanas (cada semana un email nos cuenta que esta pasando con el bebe y cuan grande esta comparado con una comida - con 10 semanas era un kumquat).

We are very very happy! Somos muy felices!

Someone said to us, it's like God's way of saying "THANK YOU!" But the truth is, we are the ones who are so thankful for these two great gifts in our lives.

Alguien nos dijo que es la forma de Dios decir "GRACIAS!" pero la verdad es que nosotros somos los agradecidos por estos dos regalos maravillosos en nuestras vidas.
