Nick Hotel LOVE. A trip for the kids.

2011-09-11T03:30:00.000-05:00

We stayed at the nick hotel for two nights, another quick trip close to home. But they kids LOVED it! they are still talking about it. We didn't expect much of it but it was actually quite nice, our room had two bedrooms, one bathroom and a kitchen/dinning/living room combination with a sleeper sofa. It fitted our needs perfectly.The kids *mostly Angie* were specially happy about having their

Making memories. Beach days.

2011-09-11T02:41:00.000-05:00

While most kids started school on this day, we were blessed with a quick trip to the beach.We took a not so short ride to Anna Maria Island and stayed there for a night. The kids loved the sand more than anything else. They loved the water too, but only if some one was holding on to them. The waves were a bit strong for us I guess. Never the less we really enjoyed our trip and love to do it again

Success at the restaurant today!

2011-08-05T02:30:00.000-05:00

Around 5:00 pm I decided I rather take the kids out to eat and have a little family dinner date, it took about two hours to be ready but we managed getting us all out of the house at once. Went for Italian, at the restaurant we decided to go for a pizza, it was very good! Daniel (2) was quite calm, that is a rare case, I think the delicious toasted bread helped keep him in his booster seat

Today was wonderful!

2011-05-09T21:35:00.005-05:00

We took our morning walk, without daddy this time, and so we had time to enjoy the trail.We noticed the wild flowers and the magnolia trees full of flowers.We saw a huge ant pile and a bunch of funny crazy ants that move really fast all over the place.We saw a dead squirrel and armadillo that has been there for the last week.We saw a peanut shell and we all stopped to take a closer look.We saw

4:22 amIt's been two hours since the contractions started. I was able to take a 20-30 minutes nap, I think, and now I'm back to strong contractions.I'm concentrating on seeing my baby drop down and my body opening up to receive him.Trusting in the Lord that he will let this flow as his love flows through me.

This is the real deal.

2011-01-09T02:08:00.002-05:00

Sunday 2:30 am.Contractions keep coming. There is no way back now.I'm trying to keep relax listening to some faith full messages online. I get stronger when I hear the word of God and I need to get stronger because I haven't done much metal preparation for this birth.I'm so sleepy! yet I can't settle down and rest.

After having my daughter and first child, I realised how many unnecessary things we buy for our babies. I got so many gifts and bought so much that was never used or used only a few times, the second time I knew better and bought only what I thought it was essential, but now I realise that even then, there were things I could have done without.Practicing attachement and natural parenting is not
