Magic Mike is coming out at the end of the week. Channing Tatum....gasp. He would be my husband in another life. Larry granted me permission to have an affair with him if the opportunity ever came up.
Summer is here!
My daughter is the sweetest, most amazing thing in the world! I was away from her to celebrate a good friend's bachelorette party on Friday and Saturday and I REALLY missed her. All day today, she smothered me with kisses and kept telling me how much she missed me. *sigh*
I'm on vacation until the end of August! I even had to turn in my keys, so I CAN'T work! I've been in education for the past 10 years and this is the first summer EVER that I have off. I am really really really looking forward to it.
I feel great being pregnant and am thoroughly enjoying feeling the little kicks of my boy. =) Emma and daddy have felt his kicks too and Emma thinks it is the funniest thing ever!
I love the thought of being a mom. I especially love the thought of having the honor of being the mother of 2 soon. A daughter AND a son. Yes, it is an honor. Not a day goes by where I don't think about several people in my life who are worthy and ready for a baby and things just haven't been working out. My heart aches about this for many of my friends, but it also forces me to remember that I CANNOT AND WILL NOT TAKE MY KIDS FOR GRANTED! I am blessed to get this experience.
Dancing and watching my girl dance make me so happy! She had her last dance recital at the San Diego Fair this morning. The bleachers and floor were packed with people. I wasn't sure how she'd do, but I was so proud of her. She will miss Ms. Jennifer from Wee Dance. Thursday will be her last class since she is moving to her new school at the beginning of July. She has really enjoyed shaking her booty and moving!
For some
reason, it won't let me embed the video, so just click on the link below
to see her dancing at the fair. =) In case you couldn't tell, she's the
little peanut all the way on the right. Just for the record, the "high
performing" dancers next to her have just turned 5 so they are 2 years
older than her.
It was hard to video tape and watch her so I will admit that I didn't do the BEST job taping. =(
Finally, this photo. It makes me laugh. Emma, Larry and I went to hang out with the Zapatas on Father's Day last weekend. Emma loves Nicolas, who is almost exactly a year younger than her. Clearly, she loves him. His face indicates that this might not be a mutual feeling. I can't wait to see her as a big sister.
Emma just MELTS our heart. She is such a loving and caring child. She is such a BLESSING to this family and we miss her so much!!
ReplyDeleteWe are very excited for you to be able to enjoy your first summer off with your "lil peanut". We know that Emma thinks you are her personal event coordinator. :-) Your life will be changing in a BIG way very soon and we can't wait to welcome Oliver into the family.
Love,
Mom and Raimond
