Easter Weekend!

Diego had an exciting Easter weekend! Thursday April 9th, Xavier and Diego headed to El Paso to take Grandma Lizzie out to dinner for her birthday! This was their first trip without Mommy and they did awesome! On Friday evening Xavier and Diego headed to Phoenix where I met up with them at Grandma Kelly and Pop Pop Rich's new house.

We got to spend the weekend with Uncle Patrick, cousins Michelle and Steven, friends Kaitlyn and Miranda, and Aunt Connie and Uncle Bob. We also got to visit and have lunch with X's family Cousins Amanda and Julian. We colored Easter eggs, met the neighbors, and had a fun time getting Easter baskets and gifts on Easter Sunday.

We hope everyone had a great Easter ~ Talk with you soon !

Planes, Trains, & Automobiles

This is my 4th week back to work and I am 4 weeks behind on my blog! Diego is doing wonderful at school and LOVES his teachers, especially Miss Carrie! She takes such good care of Diego ~ lots of hugs and special attention.

Diego is growing so fast; we woke up on Saturday morning this past weekend and I swear he had grown 2 inches overnight. I think he weighs about 17 pounds now. We will know for sure when we visit with Dr. Michelle at the end of the month for his 4 month check.

Diego is a smiley guy and has a big gummy bear smile for anyone he meets. He loves his rattles and teething toys and has a strong grasp with his left hand. He is wearing his 6 month clothes and has grown out of all of his shoes. He is also my hungry, hungry hippo - he takes about 6 ounces of breast milk or formula every 3 hours during the day. He falls asleep around 8 pm for the night, waking up a couple times to snack and then fall back to sleep.

The weekend after I went back to work, and his first week at school, we traveled to El Paso, TX to visit X's family and friends. We stayed at Grandma Lizzie's house and got to spend lots of time with cousins Julian and Alexandra. We also got to spend time with Great Grandmother Anita, Cousins Lisa, Aaron, Lindsey, Alex, Diana, Alex, Great Uncle Larry and Great Aunt Cindy, and friends, Loretta, Tom, Drew, Valerie, Anita, Bill, Robin and Phil. The flights were full because of spring break travel, so we ended up staying an extra night and heading back to Dallas on Monday morning. Diego is an awesome traveler and does great on the plane!

Last weekend Diego got his picture taken with the Easter Bunny !! He was all smiles and loved the attention!

This Thursday Diego & Xavier are taking their first trip without me:( They are heading to El Paso to take Grandma Lizzie out for her birthday. On Friday they will fly to Phoenix where I will meet them in the evening. They will do awesome traveling together ...... I will miss them like crazy .....this will be my first night without Diego.

We will visit with Grandma Kelly and Pop Pop Rich in AZ along with Great Aunt Connie & Great Uncle Bob, Cousins Steven & Michelle, Uncle Patrick and hopefully Aunt Alexis. We can't wait to see their new house and meet all of Rich's friends in the neighborhood! We will also have breakfast with X's cousin Amanda and her family on Saturday! Lots planned for a short Easter weekend!

We wish everyone a happy and healthy Easter! More pictures to come after our travels!
