Everyone is doing just great. Emilee has started running track. She just started this week and is a bit sore, but enjoying the challenge and meeting new people. Nate is still in soccer and baseball is starting. Jessica is taking Gymnastics along with Emilee now and Joaquin is in karate. So busy we stay and wouldn’t have it any other way.
All 4 are doing so well in school, we couldn’t be more blessed. Jessica and Joaquin are doing great progressing with their reading and English skills. I am amazed at how much they learn and take it all in stride. Emilee is doing so well in Language Arts that next year in 8th grade she is going to get to take Freshman Spanish. She had to do a speech not too long ago and spoke on Colombia. She put a power point together with lots of pictures to show the culture. It was nice to reminisce and look back over all of our pictures.
We got to celebrate a birthday with Jessica for the first time in February. She wanted to go rollerskating. So the family gathered and she had 3 friends come along from school. She had a great time and thought having a day all for her was the best ever. After rollerskating she got to go to build a bear and make a bear. So it was a very good day. Joaquin has his big day coming up in April. Last year we only had them for 3 days when we celebrated his in Colombia, he was still in a bit of shock, so this will be a new experience for him too. But he was great on Jessica’s birthday, letting the day be all about her.
Other than staying busy with sports and activities, we are all looking very forward to our big Disney trip in June. With that being said, I am realizing that the end of the school year will be here before we know it…how can that be!!!
Time is just zooming by and I think about blogging often, just can’t seem to find the time to get to it.

AWESOME! Love the post....
I did not even recognize Joaquin in that last pic. Oh boy, he is looking so grown up! Just a reminder, we are a hop, skip, and a jump from the American Girl store if you feel the need for a road trip.
I can't believe a year has passed by! The kids are growing up too quickly!

Such excitement thinking back to a year ago and all that has happened between now and then. It is amazing, isn't it?? Really enjoyed the update and hearing all about Jessica's birthday. I had to smile when I saw her in the matching American Girl pajamas as Maria has the exact same thing with her BItty Baby. I showed Maria the picture and she even questioned if it was her as she does whenever she sees a picture of any Latina. : ). Looking forward to hearing about your one- year family day celebration.
