Day 28

Alberto was out flying with the US Coast Guard over the Port of Los Angeles in Long Beach today. One of the few things that I have actually done before Alberto was fly in a helicopter, so I had fun teasing him that he finally caught up to me. ;)




That is not Alberto coming out of the helicopter. LOL!

Port of Los Angeles, Long Beach. You can see the snow covered mountain in the top right (behind the smog).

Day 27

Happy? I thought it was funny that his outfit says Happy, but he was angry.

Day 26

Ben's new found skill is climbing on the kitchen table. I haven't been able to figure out how to keep him off the table. *Sigh* He usually is asleep when Sophia is doing homework, but wasn't today. He thought he would be able to help her. ;) I also learned that homework time REALLY needs to be during Ben's nap time!!!

Day 25


With Maya being sick, I didn't take any other pictures, so this is all I have for the day. Our neighbors trees were so overgrown and dense, that they were causing our wall to cave into our yard. She had a bunch of the trees removed and the wall repaired today.

Day 24

The fastest ER visit ever. We were in and out in 1 hour 10 minutes, including parking! Maya has croup and her breathing treatments weren't working, so I had to take her in. The good news is that the steroid is working for her now.

Day 23

Ben was trying to take his own photograph. :)

We thought going to the park -- following a week of heavy rain -- would be a great idea. We didn't think about the ground being soaking wet still. Sophia thought the mud was funny. Maya blamed the mud on Sophia. ;)

Sophia calls these things "Monkey Guts". I think she's silly.
This is the expression that Alberto makes when he thinks I'm being a dork. LOL. I'm sure he'll make this same expression when he sees that I posted this on my blog. LOLOLOL!

Day 22

Sophia got glasses today!!! She picked them out all by herself. It's hard to tell in the picture, but they are a light purple and the arms have little yellow flowers.

I had Maya's Zhu Zhu pet out of the box for about a minute and hadn't even had a chance to tell the girls about the TWO warnings on the box saying to keep it away from hair...

Day 21

It's raining, it's pouring... Sophia lures Ben out into the rain.

And they splash in puddles.

Ben is climbing now and it is making me crazy. There is nothing he will not try to climb on.

Day 20

What's not to love...a (little) man who wants to help with the dishes and give me flowers? lol

We started our morning with a rainbow just after sunrise. :)

When Ben sleeps in his swing, Liberty just sits next to him.

Day 17

My big boy!

Maya riding her big girl bike!
Sophia can ride without training wheels! Although, wow, I'm realizing how awfully low her seat is after looking at this photo!
