Sisters!

Couple of weeks ago I was walking in the mall with my two princess when a lady from people pictures approached me and gave a coupon for a free 8x10. We got the picture taken a week later and I was finally able to scan it. The story behind the picture is as follow. Danielle was holding Sophia, but Sophia was not very happy about being so close to Danielle, so she pushed herself away from her sister falling in her legs and this was the result! We loved it

Video Conference

Today, We were able to have a video conference with my sweetheart. Danielle spent about 30 min. talking and looking at her daddy dancing for him and just having fun through our apple computer! He was able to see Sophia and I was just full of joy to enjoy the blessing of seeing him again. It has been almost 4 months since we saw him last, so we are very grateful for technology for allowing us to have this family experience. Only we know how much we miss each other and how lonely we feel at times even though we are surrounding by people. I am still trying to get a hop ( military flight) to go to see him in October. Hopefully we will get one and we can see each other soon.

God's Happiness

I just came back from a delightful night! I went out to dinner with my mother in law. We had such a nice and uplifting conversation and then we headed out to the church to be spiritually nurture by our leaders during Relief Society Conference. May I just say how much I appreciate to be reminded of my great heritage, to know that I can be an instrument in the hand of the Lord to Answer someone's prayer and by "uplifting someone I raise myself a little higher! That is God's happiness for me and for all of you my dear friends to help other, to serve others, to share with others daughters of God that they too are loved and they too can be creative!
There is saying that goes It is nice to be important, but it is important to be nice! I will end this blog quoting president Uchtdorf
"Lift up your chin, walk tall, God loves you..."

Indignity

A few nights ago Danielle and Grandpa were playing with a blanket. Danielle decided she was a "MONSTER" and was chasing grandpa, so he grabbed her and put her in the Texas game room ( yes the house is so big it has a room with things that resembles Texas even the flag is every where) Anyway. So here is the conversation between grandpa and Danielle.
Danielle: I am a Monster
Grandpa: I don't want monsters in my house ( grabbed her put her in the other room)
Danielle comes back into the kitchen and asked Grandpa
Danielle with her hands on her hips asked: Why did you put me outside...I am not a DOG
I laughed so hard

Good Bye Summer

We said good by to summer during labor weekend at the Moon Park. Our new ward has lots of different tradition. One of them is to start the summer with a great picnic and to end the summer with another picnic. Other tradition is to start church 10 min. after the hour ...not sure about that. We did have lots of fun at the picnic our ward is great lots of nice people .
Here are some pcitures of Danielle having so much fun in her favorite summer dress "Cindirella dress " as she called it made by my mother. My camera still broken, but I was able to dowload this pictures with Teresa' camera.

Sophia is 3 months

Believe it or not she is 3 months old as September 1st. She looks so grown up. Actually yesterday we were having tummy time on the floor and I decided to hold her hand and make her stand on her feet, for my amusement she gave to steps on her own. I know you might think that is just my imagination, but not she actually did it! Today while I was giving her a bath she look at me trought the mirror and gave me a huge smile. My baby is growing too soon. I will post picture but my stupid camara stop working again, the worst thing is that I just got it back fro the repair shop. anyways .

What a night

So, on wednesday after exploring around our new city ( I haven't posted that we moved to Pittsburgh Pensylvania two weeks ago) and having so much fun with our knew friends, we ( my girls and I) came to an empty house since Mike and Teresa left to Colorado to visit Jonathan, who is in the AIRFORCE ACADEMY. I put Danielle to bed and came down stairs (our bedroom is in the third floor) with Sophia in my arms to turned off all the lights and secure the doors when suddenly I felt down the stairs not remembers details I just remebere that i COULDN'T shelter my baby or avoid in any way for her to get hurt. Those 3 seconds were the most terrifying of my entire life. ONce in the floor I started to scream so hard with so much pain because I knew Sophia was hurt the only think I could think of was call 911. I crawled the remainnig steps with my baby in arms to were the phone was, and picked it up and dialed I was a nervous wrack I have never been in such stage before all I could think of was that I caused brain injury to my baby.
Police came paramedics came and they were checking me when all wanted was for them to check my baby what in our way to the hospitalmy brain kept playing over and over again those 3 second and I could not stop crying.
Sophia, thank to Heavenly Father, was just fine she did not get even scratch her motor skills seems to be just fine and her behavior normal, no bumps on her head or anything I hit my head, my back m y bottom etc no major injuries. The dr said it will take 3 weeks until I fully recover.
Our friend Lisa, whos is the RS 2nd counselor, came to the hospital to help me with the girls and took us to her house to spend the night there, but before she took me to the Pickkets house so that I could get a blessing.
Let me tell you how much my testimony has increased on Garments and blessings. I am up and running ( well not really running but you know what I mean) all the areas that I got hurt was were garments cover except for my head that still hurts and feels numb.
If this was not enough, Danielle woke up yesterday with fever 102. I felt we came home we all took showers wore pj all day long. I felt so lonely and sad all I wanted was my husband next to me and my mother to cry on her shoulder. Don't get me wrong I am so thankful for Heavenly watching over me the fact that we are just fine after such a fall is a great blessing! I ended up the day singing hymns specially count your blessings, so that my sadness were replace for gratitud.
Today is more promissing Danielle still sick, but she does not have other symptoms than the fever. I guess we will stay home all day long and just enjoy the tranquility of being here and rest.
I typed this perhaps to give closure to such a chapter in my life and keep moving forward. Now I am going to call my mom since I feel less emotional.
I will post picture of the beautiful place where we live and its sourrounding areas maybe later. There are lots of tree every where, beautiful vegetations, fun pools with waves, a wonderful friendly ward great brand new friends who welcomed us with open arms etc it is wonderful to be able to count blessings they become uncountable.
