Welcome February

Well, I can't believe we are already in February!  It has been an awesome year so far, already filled with new challenges and victories.  The homeschooling has been hanging on by a string some days, but just when I am about to give up, God reminds me why I am doing this and the benefits of having the children home:  There's a school shooting, or one of the teachers I used to work with is accused of molesting 20 kids, or a woman comes to me in looking for answers on how to help her autistic son with his struggles in the school system. Not that He wouldn't be there with them if they did go to school, but I think those are all reminders from God that this is what He wants for our family, and so we press on, and I see the light at the end of the tunnel once again!  God continues to show His power in our marriage and church family and is making His word so new and real in my life like never before.  I am so grateful for this book that I just finished that is not only a great marriage book, but an amazing book on relationships in general.  We continue to enjoy living here with my parents in San Diego and count every moment with them as a blessing straight from heaven.  We are all so blessed to have each other and to be able to support one another through all of life's ups and downs.  Here is part of our life in pictures from the holidays up until now!

It has been 2 years!

Well, it has been two years since I last posted on here and I thought it was about time to start this up again, for myself, my family, and close friends. It is hard to believe that Mia is two already but we just celebrated her second birthday last week! She is growing up to be an adorable and hilarious little lady. Dolly says that "Mia is the funny one in our family" and I have to agree. She keeps everyone looking at the bright side of things and definitely keeps us laughing. Dalia also turned four this month and we celebrated in Palm Springs with our family and her Sunday School friends and their parents (it was all her idea, by the way). She is developing to be and incredibly creative and confident girl, who may be too smart and crafty for her own good sometimes! She definitely keeps Leo and I on our toes and constantly reevaluating our parenting. Sophia is going to be 6 in November and growing up fast. She continues to be disciplined and organized

Funny story

Fun at Grandma Acosta's I love my daddy My baby is as big as me! Sisters Yesterday we were rushing to get ready for church. I was trying to get the girls dressed to I could go get ready. Sophia was rolling on the floor and just not paying attention to me. I asked her to go get her dress and come so I could put it on her. She brought me the hanger and laughed and was just not really into getting ready. I kind of snapped at her and told her to hurry up and stop messing around or else we were going to be late. She slowly turns to me and says, "Mom, you have to be patient with me." I couldn't help but laugh and apologize for rushing her.
