What's new...

sooooo much! First, Samantha was born, 8/22/07. She's been our "easy" baby. No colic and she LIKES to sleep. I would even say that she sleeps through the night now! Well, she wakes at 5am, but goes back to sleep after she eats. Both Auggie & Hayden love her to pieces! They are such great brothers.

I've stopped working. Child care just costs too much. Auggie still goes to Pre-K, and Hayden & Sammy are home with me. Not that I'm not busy, mind you. I babysit 2-3 days a week & have joined Las Madres for both Hayden & Samantha, though admittedly meshing better with the 2007 group. I even got to coordinate the decoration of the Las Madres Club 2007 Christmas tree in San Jose's Christmas in the park! It's good to still have "outlets."

I'll be starting school again in jan. I'll be full-time with the units, even though I'll only have class 2 days a week. Hopefully, I'll be excepted to go to Antigua, Guatemala for three weeks this summer for a Teaching internship that will put me a lot closer to being done with school. I know, I'm nuts right?!?!? school & three kids... eh. What can I say? I get bored easy.
What other plans do we have? To buy a house in the next year (woo-hoo market crash!!!) and one day open a Bakery. (see.... always scheming)

what else...? hmmm.....
I pierced Sammy's ears today! She's such a trooper. She only cried for the initial part, then found her hand, sucked on it a little, and fell asleep. She's like mommy: Just sleep it off & everything will be fine when you wake up. She hasn't tried to pull on them & doesn't seem bothered by them at all, even when I turn them. Good girl....

More babies?
maybe. Let's just say we are not taking those permanent measures like we were thinking we'd do. Yes we're crazy, but we both like babies. Only one more though. & knowing us, we'll probably have a boy! & not until Sammy is potty trained! ;-)
