W00t! It's Here...My New Flash!

It just got here! I'm so excited! I took a few pictures with it already, but I haven't played with any of the features yet. 

Too Cute, I Say

Colin is just too cute. He's adorable, really.

Lately (the past few days), he's been making this new kind of whine noise. It always happens when he's happy and smiling. So, he smiles, makes this noise for a little bit, then cries. I've decided that he's trying to find his laugh. Not really sure what it's going to sound like after hearing the noise he makes, but I'm sure it will be cute!

I'm Singing the Song...

The "I'm Getting My Flash" song. So here it goes.

I'm getting my flash, I'm getting my flash, I'm getting my flash today. I'm getting my flash, I'm getting my flash, I'm getting my flash today. I'm getting my flash, I'm getting my flash, I'm getting my flash today. I'm getting my flash, I'm getting my flash, I'm getting my flash today.

Whoo-hoo! Merry Christmas to me! Thank you so much Miguel! I was deciding between the Canon 430 EX & the Canon 580 EX. After Miguel talking to some friends, and me talking to some friends, and a guy at a camera store, I've decided to go with the 430. More resonable for the type of pictures that I plan on taking with it.

I want it. I want it now!

3 Months Old

I can't believe it, but Colin is 3 months old today. He has grown so fast, and is learning every day. He was this little blob that ate, pooped, and cried when we brought him home; but now he is interactive, coos, laughs, and smiles all day long.
I am so grateful for the opportunity have this precious little angel in my life. 

Happy Anniversary Courtney & Richie!

Happy 2 year anniversay! You now have a little angel to celebrate with you! 

Happy Thanksgiving!

I hope that everyone has a fun & safe Thanksgiving.
The thing that I am most thankful for this year, is of course, Colin. He has brought so much joy to me in the past 3 months. Priase God for His greatness. 

Pictures

So we (Miguel, Colin & I) took our Christmas pictures today. Not that great. Our appointment was for 2:10, and they didn't start until 3:10. I purposely scheduled the appointment for the time I did b/c I knew Colin would be awake and happy for the most part. Since the appointment was delayed, it was time for Colin to eat at 3:00. We had to stop to feed him after just a few pictures b/c he was crying and fussy (can you blame him?). After he ate he still wasn't that happy, but we took the pictures anyway. He didn't really smile for any of them, and the pictures didn't really turn out that great. They were so busy, and I really felt like we were being rushed. Anyway, I will post them when I get them back and can scan them.

Pictures

Yesterday Colin had his 3 month pictures taken, and today we are having our family Christmas pictures taken. I'll post when i get them back.

Fun Photos

Yesterday Whitney, Emily & Katie came over and spent the day with me & Colin. We had so much fun eating leftover food and taking pictures!

The rest of the pictures are on smugmug! 

Colin's Dedication

We had our beautiful son dedicated to the Lord yesterday. It was such a special time for Colin, he just doesn't know it yet! Colin received his first Bible.

Thank you to all of our family and friends that helped make Colin's day special and memorable. 

Feeling a little better...

Not sure what I had, but 2 days ago I layed around this house all day long not feeling well. When Miguel got home from work, he took my temperature, and I was running a fever.
I'm so glad that Miguel stayed home from work yesterday to help me with Colin, while I pretty much layed in bed all day running fever.
I feel a much better than the first day, but not quite myself yet.
Thank you Miguel for taking care of me (and Colin!) yesterday! I love you!

Happy Birthday Danny!

I wish you a happy 24th birthday! I'll catch up up to you in a few months! 

Work was Work

Well, I worked yesterday. I pretty much picked up right where I left off. I was nervous that I had lost some of my skills b/c I hadn't done them in about 4+ months, but I was fine. I jumped right in and all was fine as far as work was concerned. I cried almost the whole way to work, and a couple of times during the day. I think that Miguel was probably sick of me calling him.

I got through it...thank God, and will do it all over again next week.

Please Pray For Me

Tomorrow is going to be my first day back at work. I'm nervous about going back, since I haven't worked in almost 3 months, and before that I wasn't working in the main ER...I was doing something very simple (since my belly was so big!). I'm also nervous about leaving Colin for such a long time (about 15 hours). I know that Miguel will be watching him, but I'm still nervous.

Happy Birthday Yasmin

My little neice Yas min turned 8 today! Happy birthday Yasmin! 

New Photos

I've uploaded some more photos to my baby shower folder, finished off the 1-2 Months folder, started the 2-3 Months folder, and added some other various photos. Enjoy!

Happy November

Happy November everyone! 'Tis the season! It all starts now...my favorite time of year!

New Car

So I forgot to post that last Thursday we finally decided on a new car, and bought it. We got a 2007 Toyota RAV4! Yay! I'm so excited that I don't have to bend down anymore to put Colin in the car. It's the perfect height. We test drove 3 cars, and researched quite a few, but the RAV4 met our needs the best! We got rid of my Accord. It's a pretty blue color. I'll post a picture when we get it back from the shop (leather seats are being installed)
