January 2010

We have just returned from dropping the kiddies off in Arizona. Although it was a long drive, it seems to have gone by so quickly - much like our entire Christmas vacation. I was starting to get sad yesterday when I realized the time had come to take them back. I wanted to cry at the boys' group home, but I figured I shouldn't upset them, so I waited until we were in the car driving back. It gets to me when I see them waving from their little window... It was interesting to see how quickly they settled back into their solemn, serious roles once we arrived at the group home, when only moments before, they had been playing and acting silly.

Spending the two weeks with them was fun and a helpful preview of what it would be like when they're here. It seemed like we were always so busy - even when we weren't really doing anything. The time flew by! Part of me was thinking, "I can do this!" and another part of me was thinking, "Whoa, this is so much work and I have another one on the way - aaaahhh!" I will try to upload photos of our two weeks soon - we did so much and everyone had a good time. As soon as we arrived at home, Nahui looked in the rooms and said "I want the Honunu" Poor Nahui! After all that excitement and attention, she is once again an only child, sort of.

Baby Huitzil is making her presence known! She is doing all kinds of somersaults and kicks - I believe her and Nahui will be an awesome duo... She received a cute little outfit for Christmas and everything is falling into place for her arrival... (not just because of the cute little outfit, of course, but that was a major marker in my mind, hahaha!)
