Blogging

There is something so strange to me about posting on a blog. It had never occurred to me to write little tidbits and post them on the web for all to read. But, I ran into a the mother of one of my high school friends and she told me about her daughter's blog. My friend Jessica has come up with cloth diaper patterns and sells her patterns on the web http://verybaby.com/. (She and her husband work on their business and do very well.) I was very interested in seeing what she was up to and discovered her blog. I found it very fun to read her posts about everyday life, homeschooling her children, home births, and many other things. From there I have found the blogs of many other friends and family. Isn't it strange to be able to jump into someones daily happenings and thoughts with the click of your mouse.

I created this blog for my family to see what we are doing here in our little corner of the world, but I notice that friends have found me too, how fun. I have debated doing more than just the pictures and decided that it would be fun to just be a blogger. So, the following entries will be my attempts at making life interesting. I hope you enjoy.

How do you spell Blogging and blogger, is it one g or two?

Expanded Info

Well I guess I should give you a little more info. We moved to a new home in the same city, in fact it was a few blocks away, but it is an awesome home. I'll have to put up some pics.
I will be done with my degree in August. I give my final presentation on the 5th and should be able to walk in December. YEA!!!! Finally! And, Ernesto is working with a local company doing consulting work. It is a bigger company than the one he was working for previously. It gives him more opportunities and I believe he is enjoying it more.

Summer Fun

I am still trying to get used to this free forum for posting. Bloging gives you endless opportunities to express yourself and create. I know I usually just put up a picture and tell you about it. But, I am venturing out and becoming more daring, how about a little more narative for ya'll.

We have been so busy this spring moving, Ernesto's new job, and me finishing up my degree. Not to mention the kids and running around everywhere. Antony had tubes put in his ears and Daniela has been back at gymnastics. However, she is now focusing on the "tumbling" portion. So she is fliping and floping on the trampoline and the gymnastics floor. It is impressive to see. We will get some pics in the near future.

Right now, Daniela is in Seattle with her grandparents visiting her aunt and cousins for a couple weeks. She will return on the 22nd. I think Antony will be excited to see her. They enjoy spending time together. I think he gets a little bored without her. Oh lucky Daniela and her little shadow.

Before she left we all decided to go to the little zoo in town. Antony really got a kick out of the animals, he is starting to notice more details. Here he is looking at the monkeys with Daniela and Ernesto. It is so much fun to add the new excitement of children to experiences that we are used to. Daniela and Ernesto were making the monkey noises and narrating things for him. He was very happy and even participated in making the noises.

Below, He is riding his new bike. He was so excited about this bike that he couldn't wait for me to get it put together. He wanted to ride it right then and was getting frustrated that I would not let him. It was so funny.

I was so excited we found one that would work for him. He is just drawn to bikes! It is one of his favorite things. That day, Ernesto took him out to the park and he rode his bike for hours.

We also bought this swimming pool for him. He loves water and goes nuts in it. He was so angry with me when I took him out, but his lips were blue and he was shivering. And look, ugh his ears!!!
