August Wrap-Up

August was a busy month! Tons of birthday parties, a baby shower, lots of trips to rivers, visits with friends and family, Esperanza starting school, Armando starting school as well as a new job, me trying to get everything and everyone on a schedule...I just don't have the time or energy to blog about it all in detail, so here's a little wrap up of August...

Eva threw Cathy a wonderful baby shower. Cathy's baby boy is due in a few weeks and we're all so excited to meet him Armando's cousin Lucy's baby girl Isabella This was actually a mistake. Not even sure how it happened, both kids napping at the same time and in the same place. Sounds like a dream come true but it wasn't. Esperanza doesn't nap any more and on the rare occasion she doess, like on this day, she's up all night long. Not worth it. Still a cute picture though. Is this normal? Babies sleep? And in a swing? After Esperanza, I'm convinced that I have a miracle baby this time around. He even sleeps in a crib, in a seperate room at night, 6-8 hours straight!!! I love this babe. Sadie and Andy turned 4. Hot potatoe anyone? Super cutie! Esperanza's animal collection continues to grow. I think some may take a trip to the Treasure House soon. There's just WAY too many. Rafa, Esperanza and Armando having fun in the Lewis River Clarissa turned 5 and Kiko turned 2 Quaks turned 38 - here he is with all his kids2 month old Ezra with his 4 month old cousin Estevan. I can't help but point out the obvious...Ezra is half his age yet twice his size! And only half Mexican yet twice as dark. My perfect baby. Geneva helped Esperanza give Ezra a bottle of some mamas milkAngelica turned 17 and Antonio turned 14 this August. Here's Angelica and her boyfriend Allen cookin' up some freshly caught crawdads from the Washougal River for dinnerAlso, George had yet another surgery in August. The stump from his last leg amputation wasn't healing very well and when the doctors gave it a closer look, they realized they hadn't gotten all of the infection. So, we went in and had the leg taken up a little farther, above the knee. He is home now and doing well. George just had his 62nd birthday too.
