These days...

Our typical day consists of me nursing Xander more often than not throughout the day, Isabela saying "Xander no come." (Xander don't eat.) because she doesn't want me to feed him, she just wants to play with me.  She begs to watch Diego all the time.  Usually I only give in when Xander eats.  I can't prevent her from terrorizing the house.  Yes, I use Diego as a babysitter.  What can I say, he's free of charge and Isabela loves him.

Today Isabela grabbed her baby doll and said "Come" (pronounced co-may) while lifting up her shirt and holding her baby to her chest. 

Xander smiles all the time now.  He coos a lot and just started to giggle.  Today he had such an infectious laugh that I was laughing and crying.

My house is never clean... I don't even try anymore.  My neighbor down the street says she sees a mess and it drives her crazy so she cleans a lot all day (she has four kids).  I told her, I see a mess and it bothers me, so we go for a walk to the horses where I don't have to see it anymore.  Unfortunately, it is still there and still bothers me when I get home.

I intend to post everyday, but if and when I get the chance, I begin to edit one picture, which turns into messing around with editing programs.  I never get many pictures done, but it is fun to figure out new things on my own.  Therefore, I don't actually get around to posting them to my blog.

Brandon just got a job offer in Colorado to teach Spanish.  We will now be moving the end of July and are way excited for a new adventure
.
Isabela had a really fun birthday party with giant Winnie the Pooh day before Xander's blessing.  We got to go swimming the first time this year, finally.  Thanks to Grandma Becky.  Maybe she can teach my kids to swim since I can't.

So I posted today because I didn't allow myself to look at pictures.  They will come later.
