First Real Bath

And he loved it! We've just been giving him sponge baths with no soap until today. He is now 4 weeks and 4 days young :-)

Date Night

Last night Rafa and I went to dinner with a bunch of friends for Valentines Day. Lucia was at our friends house and Gabriel slept soundly in his carrier next to us :-) We had steak and lobster and wine. It's hard to think about the logistics of getting out of the house with 2 littles but when we do and it works, I'm always proud that we tried and succeeded! The night went so well we decided to stop at Sesame Donuts by our house for treats for the whole family. Yum!

Snowed In!

Well that storm came out of nowhere! First it was to be a couple inches of snow, but two days in we had a foot and another day later, lots of ice. It was tough being stuck for 4 days with a newborn and a toddler, but we tried to make the most of it. We packed up the kids (Gabriel was in the moby inside my jacket), we went for walks and tried to sled, we ventured down the hill to Starbucks. But mostly Rafa spent time shoveling our way out and me watching and waiting for it all to melt. Tomorrow everything should be back to normal and I'll regain my sanity. I love the snow but not when we get stranded! 

Little Ballerina

Today was parent participation day to watch the girls. I was so thrilled. What we learned is that while Lucia is the smallest she's also the biggest class clown! Enjoy part of her performance they are practicing too!

Meeting Baby Brother 1.18.14

Lucia's reaction to Gabriel has been nothing short of the most beautiful thing ever.  She completely adores him more than anything.  She wants to kiss him and hug him all of the time.  She rushes to see him after she is done with school.  She tells us to take care of him properly, don't leave him, make sure you feed him, etc.  She may be adjusting to sharing us with him, but there is no question that she thinks he is the best thing ever, and we are so thankful!
