“Cleaning and scrubbing can wait ‘til tomorrow, because babies grow up, I’ve learned to my sorrow. So hush-a-bye cobwebs, dust, go to sleep. I’m rocking my baby and babies don’t keep!”

We are happy...

First Cold

My little boy got sick with a cold last Saturday. Poor thing he can't breathe so is difficult for him to nurse. Thankfully he hasn't had any fever. I hope he gets better in time for our Disneyworld trip. I hope he gets better period!
And even sick, there is always a smile for Mommy and Daddy! he is so precious!

Thankful for...

our marriage. Twelve years ago this month we said "I do"...

Our handsome, perfect, adorable baby boy!

Our family.



Our Thanksgiving adventure began in Palm Coast with a wonderful dinner at Aunt Linda's house with all our cousins. Afterwards we went to Jacksonville to stay with Jesse's Dad. Day two brought about lots and lots of sightseeing all throughout Middleburg, St. Augustine and Downtown Jacksonville.

On day three, we went to Gainesville to check out the "Home of the GATORS" University of Fla. has a beautiful campus.

We had a wonderful time. And little J.J. was so good. He slept through the night and was so happy everywhere we went. We are really looking forward to our next trip: Disneyworld!

Little Feet

6 months old!

I can't believe it has been six months since I came home with my little boy. Six months ago a become a Mommy. I pray for blessings over my sweet Jesse Joel, may he be healthy and happy, and may he come to know his creator and love Him with all his heart.

The Hippo Ride

The three of us went to Parrot Jungle this past Sunday. It was a beautiful cool day in Miami and we took advantage of it. Little JJ was able to focus on some of the birds, but Jesse and I were the ones having fun watching the shows and enjoying nature.


The Hippo Ride, 165 feet of...fun? "You wanna ride it babe? uhhh, no thanks, you go ahead.."

And the latest, I scrap lifted it from one of my sis-in-law layouts. She is so creative.

Excited

I just booked my yearly trip to Peru. But this time I won't go alone, little JJ is coming with me! His first trip out of the country. I am a little nervous about traveling with a 9 month old (by the time we travel). We'll see. I will prepare myself as best as I can and go with the flow. I purposely booked a night flight so the my baby can hopefully sleep through it. The flight is in January, I have plenty of time to prepare.
Ahh, I'm looking forward to visiting my family and for them to meet JJ. And of course eating home cooked meals!
I think JJ will enjoy it!

Beautiful Mess!

I'm not sure why I work like this. But I love it! I won't put anything away until I'm done with J.J's minibook!

BUT, out of the mess, a couple of good creations came out:

New meals & Family Time

Haven't posted anything in a while. The last two weeks I have been scrappin' and taking care of my sweet little J. He is now eating homemade mashed carrots, oatmeal and banana cereal and drinking little bits of water from a sippy cup! He is so adorable.


I spent yesterday with my sister and brother celebrating his birthday and today we visited family all day. It was nice.

Specially because Jesse is working a lot these last two months of the year and we only have Sundays to be together. He is such a hard worker. We are very proud of J-Money!

Yum, Yum

The peruvian place we visited yesterday was really good. A little far but worth the trip!

Fun

Last night we went out with my brother and sister in law and we took the babies along!
Seth is one month old and J.J. is five. It was fun. Little Seth slept the entire time and J.J. was a little shy at the beginning but after dinner we was happy being held by his Aunt and Uncle.
Today, Jesse and I want to try a new Peruvian Restaurant I heard from my brother is really good! We'll see....
And I will take pictures this time.

Almost 5 months

My baby boy will be five months old on the 19th. I love the way he looks at me and gently touches my face as he falls sleep. He is such a blessing to my life. I love being his Mommy!

Wow!

Check out my new banner! Thanks to an article by Elizabeth Kartchner in Creating Keepsakes magazine.

A day at the Park

We decided to go to a park today, it was a beautiful day and there was a little bit of a breeze which helps with the Miami heat. We went to Key Biscayne and I got to practice what I have learned so far in my photography class. We took lots of pics, this is my favorite one. I love my boys!

Rainy Day

Little J.J. got his vaccinations today and he actually reacted much better than last time. Thank God!

My sweet little boy is now sleeping. Tomorrow we are going to shop for an outfit for a wedding we have on Saturday. My dear friend Michelle is getting married!

It has rained all day, I think I'll go make me a cup of peruvian cinnamon tea. Yummy!

Tomorrow

Tomorrow, my little boy is getting his 4 month-vaccinations. This time I'm giving him some Tylenol before we get there. It will hurt me more that it will hurt him.
My online photography class is going great. I just don't have a lot of time to practice what I'm learning. Thankfully all the documents from the class are available to us forever.Yay!
J.J now loves to be on his tummy. Here is a pic

My new toy

So I have been wanting to create a blog for a while, so here I go. I have no idea how post pics or links. But I guess I'll learn as I go.
And, my wonderful husband surprised me today with my own laptop! oh yeah! "Spring Green with a satin finish". I'm so excited! Let's see how I do with this blogging thing! I do have a lot to share about my handsome little boy.
