"Keep in Mind that Jesus Christ has died for us....."

....."yet it was our infirmities he bore, our suffering that he endured, While we thought of him as stricken, as one smitten by God. But he was pierced for our offenses, crushed for our sins.Upon him was the chastisement that makes us whole.We had all gone astray like sheep, each following his own way.But the Lord laid upon him the guilt of us all..." Is. 53:4-6

A day for CELEBRATION!

Not because it's tax day... but because today was my last day of work! Well my paid job, that is :). It was a long and stressful 15 months of working, but also a huge blessing. Now I can spend more quality time with Isabella and prepare for Veronica's arrival. Just thought I would share my excitement! Here are a few pictures from the past couple weeks.

The big day - cast removal! Kindly looking up at doc trying to decide how she should feel about this situation.

Yep, decided she didn't like it. It was so sad, but she was perfectly fine once the doctor stopped touching her.

YAY! No more cast!

Playing on Daddy & Mommy's bed before bedtime.

Wearing her PJ's from Grandpa & Grandma Tompkins.

Cuddling with Daddy.

Trying to figure out ways to pull more items down from the pantry.

French braided hair!

Off to go swimming!
And a pregnany lady pic - 36 weeks.

Pregnancy Shoot

This past Saturday, we went to the beach with Brianna to have a little photo shoot. Brianna has been working hard in starting her own photography business. She's doing very well so far! We had such a great time and Brianna captured some amazing moments! I hope you enjoy these photos. I put up a few (ha!) of my favorites and then a slideshow of some more. We love them all! I am 34 weeks in these pictures (now 35 weeks... getting close!!)

This is just a flashback of my pregnancy with Isabella (32 weeks). I think it will be one of our traditions. It will be fun to see the increase in little hands :)!

And here's a slideshow of a few more.

Isabella dancing

I don't mean to bump your post, Mary! I thought you all would enjoy this video. Brianna caught Isabella's new way of dancing on camera. She is definitely our little latin girl!

Happy Ryan

Recent pictures of baby Ryan for your enjoyment. :)

"Rymato!"

We have successfully gotten him to like baths (finally!):

She's a weirdo!

Just wanted to share some videos of Cecilia from the past couple of weeks. First, one of her in her PJ's "talking" before bed:

Next, a video of her "silly walk," which she has been doing lately to make us laugh. I think it originated from watching me do lunges during my P90X workout routine, since she always imitates me as I work out. But I think that what she came up with is entirely unique:

Lastly, a video of Cecilia singing one of her "songs." She loves being sung to before she goes to bed at night, and recently we've started asking her to sing for us instead. We were blown away by her "singing" and think she has incredible talent, like her aunties. At the end of the video she puts her finger on her chin and says "hmm!" which is her way of saying "Next song, please!" as in "hmm, what song should we sing next?" She says "hmm!" after every song we sing; if she had her way, we would just sing forever and she would never have to go to sleep.

Why we all need a Gmail account!

I'm definitely upgrading to this.
