21 months: Ready for our 5k

Hi Mister O,

It's mama. Today you went with Daddy & I to pick up our race bibs and timing chips for the O'Hartford 5k on Sunday. So exciting! On Wednesday I ran from our apartment to the main library in town which is 3.52 miles away. I jogged it in 35 minutes putting my pace at a little over 10 minute miles so that's the pace I'm going to line up with at the race (you get in line by how fast you are...fastest people in the front). We're all ready to go and Papa Cesar & Lela Carmen will be bringing you down to Hartford to see the race. Yay!



My bib...I love my number!



Daddy's bib...he's such a criminal. I love his number too! Look at Daddy's quads...wowza!



My timing chip...I hope it works!

21 months: Colorado!

Hi little fluffernutter!

Guess what? We're going to Colorado!!! Yay!! To visit, that is. Papa Cesar bought us plane tickets so we can go with Daddy when he goes to visit the University of Colorado and Denver law schools. Thank you Papa Cesar! We couldn't get the same flight as Daddy so you and me will be flying out on our own the day before and then returning a little earlier than Daddy. Good times! It'll be like a little adventure for us!

I'm so excited! When I was 18 I lived with a host family in Boulder, Colorado (where UColorado is) for 3 weeks and with another host family in Littleton, Colorado for another 3 weeks but other than driving through the state about 3 1/2 years ago I haven't been back and I can't wait! Colorado is so pretty. I don't think we'll be able to visit my hostfamilies while we're there this time but maybe another time. I haven't seen them in 10 years and I'm sure they'd love to meet you sweetie pie.

Anyhoo, I hope you're aokay with the flight. You did amazing on our last trip to Florida so hopefully you'll be okay again. Remember, it'll just be me this time to go easy on me. :) I love you sweetie pie...thanks again to Papa Cesar!

21 months: The Car!!

We were trying to tape you saying the car!! the car!! a billion times but once the camera came on you stopped saying it....ahh! We'll get you saying it though

21 months: Playing in the snow

Papa Cesar & Lela Carmen took care of you this past Saturday like they have for the past 9 weeks so we can do our group runs. You love going over there and get so excited once we turn on to their street. It was pretty warm on Saturday so you got to play outside...your favorite! Here you are playing with the snow



(Hint: You can watch a clearer version of the video if you click on the HQ)











Don't worry that was Daddy throwing a snowball at me, not you



Papa Cesar made a billion snowballs for you





Frostbitten yet?



Fly Mister O, fly!

21 months: Dinner

I've been trying to capture more of our every day moments lately. Here's what dinner is like at Family Ferncon:





Here's what your view looks like at dinner. Notice the back up chicken nuggets and white rice just in case you don't eat what we're having.
