A New Years Update!

Well here I am, 4 and a half months pregnant again, and feeling, let's just say, better. My first trimester was very rough, mostly when I wasn't working, I was in bed and I had the flu 3 times and a nasty bronchitis that I am still getting over. But, I am preggo and for that we are so grateful!

Our holidays were wonderful! Marcelo's sister and brother in law and their 3 kids (5,8,11), and Marcelo's brother stayed with us for 2 weeks! It was sooooo great, beyond great to have them around. There was always a ton of cooking and delicious food happening and Levi loved being with his cousins and having constant play mates. Other highlights include:

- the guys rebuilt our fence in the back yard! That was the one repair our home was majorly in need of. The old fence was 30+ years old and literally falling apart and the new one is beautiful. And we saved a ton of money by DIY'ing it!

- cookie decorating and ginger bread house making with the kids

- renting a 12 person van and taking a day trip to Dinuba, CA to visit extended family.

- hosting several big dinners here

-taking several day trips with the whole family; Hollywood Blvd, Echo Park, Kids Space Museum, etc

-playing bingo and rummikub every night and laughing and listening to music

Well, see below for another very special suprise about the new baby!
