September 2010

September was a busy month. Started out with a visit from Tia Mia (Maria) to meet Eva and spend time with Elena. School is back in session so Elena is doing Pre-school 5 days a week and also taking swimming lessons, gymnastics lessons and ballet/jazz/tap lessons. So we are very busy.  Eva is growing like a weed and Elena no longer looks like a toddler.  Eva's favorite person in teh whole world is Elena.

Here are some photos taken during this month

can't wait for ballet class so she is dressed up several days early

Eva Gabriela

Eva Gabriela was born on her due date (like her sister) and now shares a birthday with her daddy (August 7th). The house is overrun with Leos. She was 8lbs 3oz and 23 inches.

We have all adjusted to having her in our lives. Big sister Elena is very proud and spends much of the day trying to kiss her and play with her.

We have had many visitors: Nona, Tio Tom, Tia Kristen, Bama, Pata, Oncle Gunnar and Tia Maria. Here are some photos (completely out of order) from Eva's first days
