Hello World

Meet the youngest member of the family, Joaquin Lorenzo. He will be 8 weeks old in a couple of days.  Time flies.  He is no longer the fussy, always-hungry baby we met a few weeks ago.  It is a good thing that he has adjusted to his siblings' noise.  Thankfully, he still sleeps most of the time.  His waking hours are longer this time.  He spends it talking to Mama or staring at the ceiling fan. He also enjoys listening to his sibling's singing.  He smiles a lot and can hold his head up during tummy time. Since he is our fourth child, it seemed that I've already run out of names.  It took Vic and me several months to decide on a name.  Then I remembered I've always like the names Joaquin and Lorenzo. Joaquin means the Lord exalts Lorenzo means from the place of laurels I had no idea that those names are quite popular these days, due to a telenovela, no doubt.

It's Summer!

Why do I love summer? ... seeing the sun shining bright on a lazy morning ... we can lounge in bed longer ... no early morning "waking up" drama and sermons ... Vic doesn't need to leave early for work ... we don't rush around as much ... we don't have to deal with homework ... children get to play outdoors more ... traffic is not as heavy ... scheduled trips ... more time to do other things, like focus on the business, prepare for trips, rehearse with the choir, etc. ... more baking time  ... children get to learn about chores ... less (domestic) stress for me  What do you love about summer?
