It's been a while since my last entry. I think it will be a good idea to post updates of life here and there from the last 10 years or so.

I have lived in Tucson Arizona for the last 10 years, Max works for Raytheon and it has been a good place to work for him, we are discussing lately (max and I) about switching jobs, we will see.

Nathan will start High school this Fall y Scott will start Junior high school.

We have William going on fifth grade, Christine going into 3rd grade and Edmund starting first grade. 

Life is good, life has been good to us. Max and I will be celebrating our "sweet sixteen" wedding anniversary this August. 

latest news

well baby number threee migh land next week,

last week was a roller coaster of events,tuesdat the induction was postopone and ultimately canceled, couple appointments were made to check our the state( baby and me) we had a non stress test and ultrasound, all seemed ok, even the extra amniotic liquid level was within normal parameter, still high but within the normal.

 

after that Scottie got a fever on thursday, we keept it down with advil for kids, that helped him rest. today, Friday, he had a 101F fever, Max and I decided to observe him, he did ok and by the end of the day when we checked his temperature, he was 99F. we are glad he is better now, we were worried he wouldn't be able to go to the hospital after the delivery to see his new brother or been around the baby.

also today we had another ultrasound,all seeems fine and the induction will take place on monday or tuesday, depending how busy the hospital gets those day.

I hope there are not too many ladies in labor for whatever strange reason. this weeek i bet all those ladies ahead of me had a lot of turkey for thanksgiving or got scared with the storm.

all this has made me think in what the apostles and servants of gos have told us lately in general conference. we are not along to face the uncertainties of this mortal experiences, i have not to go and do this alone, I've gotten good friends at church and dedicated sisters and brothers who care about me and my family. Is interesting that the hands were (are) always extended to my reach; the only thing i have to do is to reach their grasp and "all is well" and i am happier because of that.

Well, it has been a while since my last post, not much happening around here lately.

Last year on August we move into our apartment, I have to say that is nice to have a place to call home.

Autumn in Massachusetts is a pretty season of the year full of colors and excitement for Halloween and beautiful harvest.

Our thanksgiving was simple and at home. 

Scotty started walking when he was 10.5 months it is wonderful to see him growing and playing with Nathan, his older brother.

For the kids birthdays, we ate cake and have some friends coming over, it was fun and very very cold. 

January, February and March were very cold days. The snow fall record was historical, more that three feet of snow. too much snow i believe. Scotty could spend the day watching at the snowplow in the parking lot for hours. Nathan loves snow and cold, he can take cold showers and bath with no problem at all.

There were couple of days we went out to play; Max made a ramp, Nathan loved it! I am glad we had some good gear for him and Scott.

I still wonder how I survived such long and cold winter.

Scotty's birthday

Scotty liked the candle.

yay for presents!

agosto volo y septiembre ni se sintio!

Tewksbury, MA. nuestro nuevo hogar por el momento. Es imposible que sea ya otono, Agosto y mi cumpleanos, acontecieron en un abrir y cerrar de ojos. Las primeras semanas estuvimos visitando a la familia en Texas y de paso festejando mi cumpleanos, al regresar a Wichita nos alistamos para la mudanza, al finalizar el mes estuvimos en hotel por 18 dias, como sobrevivimos los ninos y yo, no nos pregunten fue un milagro.
Ahora en Septiembre los ninos estuvieron efermitos, por 3 semanas seguidas visitamos al doctor y visitamos la sala de emergerncia una vez, Scotty tenia temperatura muy alta. Max y el hno. James le dieren a Scott una bendicion y uncion para que sanara, en un par de dias Scotty estaba super bien.
La Conferencia General de Mujeres, tuvo lugar el sabado pasado, el tema central el templo. lo que me hace pensar en lo bonito que el templo de Oklahoma city es y el templo de Boston City es tambien.
Mi llamamiento en mi barrio de la Iglesia es "maestra de rayitos de sol". Sere la maestra de Nathan en enero cuando el tenga ya tres anhos.

ultimo domingo en Wichita. / Last sundauy in Wichita.

I will miss the Maize second ward here in Wichita. I love the church, everywhere we have been there it has been,the Church, with the same principles and good people that I can always call friends.

Here in Wichita my nino Nathan became a little boy, my pequeno Scotty was welcomed to our family, and my amazig husband Max became a ciclyst. I can say that I have changed, I am not the same person I was when I first came here, I am happier.

Falls are beautiful here in Wichita so many colors displayed in the praries; winter was very hostile, cold and humid but great to have had my mom, dad and lil' brother here and of course the week off from work that Max got. Spring was fabulous, it seems it happened so instantly; and my favorite so far,  warm and sunny summer with the characteristic Wichita wind.

I just wish I had more time to can meat, fruit, and vegetables from the locals, and to celebrate my birthday properly, on that last sentence I am just joking; I am happy to celebrate my birthday in anyway as long as I have my husband and children with me.

Our move is getting closer, movers will be here to pack on thursday and load on friday. We will be visiting family in Texas and we'll be back to Wichita to take our plane to Boston on saturday August 9th. 

Boston sounds exciting though, I hope all goes well. In the bright I don't have to worry about formal schooling yet.

Los pequeñines

En algún momento la semana pasada, Nathan estaba jugando con agua y sus manos tenían tierra cuando lo escucho exclamar "my hands are clean" el chiquito había metido las manos a la cubeta con agua y como sí hubiese sido magia sus manos estaban limpias de nuevo.

Scotty es un bebe muy tierno y calmado, la mayor parte del día, disfruta mucho de la compañía de todos, especialmente Nathan lo hace reír con su juego ""peek a boo". En este mes le dio por arrastrarse casi gatear. Como crecen estos chicuelos tan rápido.

¿Qué me depara el futuro cercano? Pues, tenemos que visitar a la familia en Utah, asistir a la reunión familia en New México, visitar a Paco en Texas, terminar de armar la computadora de la casa, y más en detalle queremos visitar lugares en Utah como son HorseShoe Spring, the Uintas, Skull valley, Downtown Salt Lake. En lo personal yo quiero comprar alimentos para nuestro almacén familiar, recoger lo último de nuestras pertenencias que aún quedan por allá y tomarnos fotos en la manzana del templo.

Tras viajecito tarjeteado vamos a volar a Boston para buscar casa o depto, ojalá podamos encontrar una casita. Después la mudanza; esta mudanza será stress-free espero, una compañía va a empacar y transportar nuestras cosas incluyendo la camioneta lo cual nos deja con los asientos de los niños, nuestras maletas y los boletos de avión.

¡Esta vida llena de aventuras!

Mayo, que rápido pasa el tiempo! / May, time flies fast

San Valentin, San Patricio, día del niño, día de las mamás, los cumpleaños en medio, y Scott ya casi cumple 5 meses y Nathan ya casi cumple 29 meses.

En semana Scott empezó a rodar de un lado a otro. Nathan conversa con más claridad y sentido. El día de ayer Nathan se encontró una catarina, estaba emocinadisimo, tras aplastarla, se sintió triste porque la catarina no hacia nada. Hicimos una oración  le expliqué lo que pasó, y que habrá más cantarinas con las que podrá jugar y que tendrá más cuidado de tratar.

Scotty tiene comezón en las encías, pobrecito.

Los hombres de la casa.
