So, here are our top family moments of 2012 (in no particular order). Praise the Lord for all the blessings in our life!
- Went to North Carolina for my brother in law Graduation in May. Kids had a great time with the cousins, uncles, aunts, great uncles/aunts and grandparents. They even got to ice skate in the summer!
- Got an iPad: Our family is slowly going to the dark (apple) side. I have to say, it's pretty addicting (couldn't find a picture, but imagine their mesmerized faces)
- Visited carsland at Disneyland: The boys loved it of course, even though it was one of the hottest days of the year!
- Had a bunny and a puppy for a weekend: The bunny was from the boys' preschool and the puppy from one of Josue's co-workers. It was fun, but a big part of it was knowing I could return them in a few days.
- Welcomed baby Lucas. That for sure, was the top family moment of the year. We were blessed with our 7lbs4oz baby boy. Praise the Lord!
- Watched a Clippers game with the whole family at Staples Center. The game was a blowout (apparently now the Clippers are back to their non-winning phase)
- Camped in the balcony for Labor Day
- Naomi’s teddy bear picnic. Our little girl turned 2! Because she's so attached to her Winnie the Pooh, we decided to make a picnic at the park. They had tons of fun!
- Saw a high school football game at Angel Stadium (November)
- Watched an Air Show in San Diego. It was loud! We got to see the Blue Angels
- Boys’ bouncing party. Big celebration for their 5th birthday with school friends and their favorite aunties!
Kids' update
Matthew and Nathan: They are growing up fast. If they could they would play the whole day, with each other mostly. They are loud and fast and love driving their plasma cars. To each other they are "brother" and "Buzz". Often times I watch them play and talk and that's already entertainment for me! It must be awesome to be a twin! Their biggest thing in 2012 was learning to read! "Oh, the places they'll go..."
Naomi: She's our independent, spirited, wild girly princess. This little bundle of energy grows leaps and bounds in all aspects. At 2 years of age, she can swim by herself, opens the door (with the key), chooses her own clothes and shoes, wants to boss us all and has an attitude. Can't wait for those teenage years!
Lucas: He is the happiest, chubbiest baby of all. Sleeps a lot, drinks lots of milk, loves watching his siblings play, and is pretty content most of the time. He had a small dimple on his cheek, but that disappeared with the increase of the baby fat. So far he's a very chill baby, we'll see what happens next!
We are looking forward to 2013 and what the Lord has planned for us!
