Annual Portraits!

Is that time of the year again to take my babes to get photographed.  I feel like I am doing this event in such a rush, because I have several things going on this month. 

Several events that are happening this month are: a surgery that my DH is going to have because he has kidney stones, my sister is visiting, a lot of doctors and dentist appointments and a Children's Musical hosted in our Church in which my middle babe will be participating. 

It was weird not having our usual photographer but the evening photographer was a delight and she tried to make the session fun and different. 

My oldest babe looks so big.  Big in the sense that she looks like a total teenager even though she is not completely in her teens yet. 

My middle babe looks so tall, love her long hair (which she wants cut like yesterday) and her love of pink clothes still in her.  It was awesome that she asked me for lipstick which ended up in her sister’s shirt while the lady was taking pictures.

My youngest babe was a ham.  He loves the camera and this occasion was not an exception, but it was funny that in the last picture he told me: “I am done”; and he was.  He refused to do anymore pictures.

I love my babes.  I love taking pictures of them.  I love creating memories with them.

I am excited that youngest baby is going to be 4 years old this Saturday. He is more aware of his birthday and he is also excited that we are singing “Happy Birthday” at Church for him.

He has grown so much, he talks more and he is aware of the World.

25 things about Me!

1. I love God and my faith is in Him, I am alive because He is merciful on my life. I was going to die (per doctors) and God has extended my life allowing me to see my children grow.

2. I met my husband while working for Cirque du Soleil.

3. My birthday is on February 24 and my husband's is on February 25. My Husband always kisses me at midnight between our birth dates.

4. I don't have a middle name.

5. I love taking my children to a theme park, even though they have been there before because it always feels like the first time for them.

6. My dream, hope and prayer is for my children to love God, serve God and to be happy.

7. I have a B.A. in Secondary Education in Biology, my license in Puerto Rico expired and I am not able to teach here in FL.

8. I am a Stay at Home Mom and I love it. My kids are my life. I love listening my kids play.

9. I played with Barbies' until I was 15 years sold, my girls don't like to play with Barbie's at all.

10. I graduated from High School a year earlier than I was supposed to. (Nerd alert!!)

11. I love Christian Music and right now I love the Morning show at my Christian radio station: the Joy FM.

12. I was born in New York and my parents move to Puerto Rico when I was 4 years old. I spoke English and the kids thought I was not OK since they could not understand me.

13. I love comedy movies, it relaxes me from a hectic day!

14. My Husband adopted my oldest daughter in Dec '04, she was very happy.

15. I have three small tattoos shaped in a dot, they were marks designated for radiotherapy treatment.

16. I love the color purple.

17. In Middle School I fell from a flight of stairs, it hurt a lot.

18. I love playing with Webkinz (my kids got me into it!)

19. When I was young (at Church in Puerto Rico) I was Youth President and Sunday School teacher.

20. I eloped in June 2002.

21. After I experienced Radiotherapy and Chemotherapy treatments I am very compassionate towards people who are going through the same treatments. Chemo and Radiotherapy are eye opening experience. I know how hard is going through these treatments.

22. When I was pregnant with my oldest daughter (in PR) I almost was part of an accident that would have killed me and my unborn baby, but I know that God deviated the car, I was in shock and it left a big impression in my life. I went to bed to rest after I witness the accident and I had a dream that I was in a room and the people in my dream told me: God wanted to let you know that He loves you!

23. When I was going trough radiotherapy I went to the bathroom at 2am and I was going to faint. Everybody was sleeping and I wanted to cry for help but I could not talk. All of a sudden I started screaming in my head the name of Jesus Christ and all of a sudden I was standing up. I didn't faint.

24. When I had my Quinceañera party (15 year old party) none of my classmates showed up.

25. I have two stepchildren that live in Wisconsin.


I feel blessed that I have my own family.

My girls are going to school today!!

Cynthia and Stephanie are going to different schools for the first time. Cynthia is going to Middle school and Stephie is going to be a new student in an elementary that is near us.

It's so weird when your oldest child goes to middle school and all inside me gets concerned with the new challenges she might face. Who might be her new friends? Is she going to adapt quickly to changes.

For Stephanie is hard for me since I love the old school she used to attend. Is no longer in our area so I will have to adjust to her being in a new school. Worried that she might be teased or bullied by other classmates who do not understand her personality.

Besides that, I am looking forward to new homework folders and picking up the girls at different hours of the day!
