In early August we celebrated Mario Ariel's 4th birthday. It was a fun pool party at Luke and Mimi's. The theme was Sponge Bob and the kids and I helped decorate the area.

Summer vacation is ending

Time has gone really fast! I can't believe school is already here. Carlos and Titi will meet their new teachers tomorrow and will have their first day of school on Tuesday. They are not happy about it and I am not looking forward to getting up early and homework and all the pressures of school. I cannot say I have enjoyed every minute of summer vacation but I am going to miss it.

We tried to enjoy this weekend as much as possible. On Saturday Don took the kids ice skating with the Cub Scouts. They had a lot of fun. Carlos fell and he did not skate much but Titi loved it. She wanted to go again today.

Today we went to Deerfield Beach. At the beginning the kids did not want to go and once they were there they loved it. We always say we should go to the beach more often but we get lazy and we don't do it. The weather was great and it was a great way to enjoy the last day of summer vacation.

Our wonderful son is 10!!!!

We can hardly believe it. Carlos is 10!!!! I still call him "baby", sometimes in front of other kids, and he still lets me do it. Don and I are so happy to be his parents and we love him so much. He is such a wonderful and affectionate child. He has a happy body and loves to move and talk a lot and he has a caring heart. We are so lucky to have him in our lives.

Another trip to Orlando! (I know.....)

The plan was to go to Disney for some days and then drive to South Carolina but we never made it past Orlando. We spent a total of 14 days there!

The first days we stayed at the BoardWalk and we enjoyed it so much. We loved being so close to Epcot and not having to use the car. The kids took a picture of us in the same spot as our wedding picture and then Titi said she was going to marry us again and she performed a ceremony while Carlos took pictures. We got to say "I do" again!
