O.K. these photos where meant to go at the end, but oh well. This is the girls in the tub today. Sophia likes to FLOAT on her back for some reason. I think she swallows a gallon of water by doing it, but it's funny none the less. Gabriela likes to just be silly and put beards on.
This is the girls on the first Sunday in January. Gabriela's first day as a Sunbeam. Maybe I'll post pictures of her at church later.
Wow. I have been such a blogging slacker lately. It actually tells you what my life is like right now. I was able to travel home over the last five days with my baby (Miguel stayed home with the older girls) to spend time with my family because of the death of my granddaddy. I was just so thankful for the gospel which gave me the strength to be able to support and comfort my family members. I had the priviledge of being one of the speakers at the graveside service for him. It was a good experience in which I was able to share my testimony, my memories, and share the plan of salvation. The hardest part was seeing how much pain my sweet grandmother was in from losing her companion of sixty years. I just can't imagine.
Now that I'm home I'm trying to get back into the swing of things. With my mini job, as I like to call it, I have little time for goofing off. I'm up at 5:30 every morning to get in my scripture study and exercise before I shower, feed the girls, and get dressed before getting to the elementary school at 9:00. I have been introduced to the rat race. As soon as Miguel walks in the door in the morning, I give him a high five and maybe a kiss, and I'm out and on my way. As soon as I get back we high five it again and out he goes. It's exhausting but a good experience as well.
Things worth mentioning:
Gabriela is now a genuine Sunbeam, which she's ecstatic about.
Gabriela has withdrawn from preschool to persue her career as a professional dancer.
Julianne has finally cut her first tooth.
Sophia turns 2 on Monday.
Lindsay has finally entered pageant season.
Sorry this is so long, but that's what happens when you don't keep up on your blog!

Glad to hear you're all doing okay, and that you were able to go home.
Sounds like your new schedule is keeping you productive - way to go with the early wake ups! Don't stop giving BIG smootchies on the way out the door. I'm sure it will ease the burdens for both of you. :)
I'm glad you were able to go to your granddaddy's funeral. And to speak as well -- what an honor. And what's this mini job you have? Sounds ambitious. I'm impressed you're waking up so early. Good for you.
I just love how the girls pose and smile perfectly for every picture!!
