March 2011

March was a quieter month for us, Alison had major morning sickness, so wasn't really up to doing muchmore than keeping up with the kids and work. We continued to be elated at the thought of having twins, and were anxious to find out their gender, which of course we later did - two girls!

Cristiancito continues to take Chinese immersion at school this year. The school celebrates Chinese New Year, and has a lot of fun activities for the kids. 

January 2011

The fun continues in January of the new year, the 4th graders at Ashley's school had the opportunity to take a skiing field trip, I went along on the trip, it was great fun for all these kids.

 Cristiancito enjoys his Christmas gift from Santa, basketball, he loves it. Mateo of course likes to play right along side.

 Cristiancito gave Karate a try, but then decided it was not for him, he will stick with basketball. In the photo just below Cristian decided one day to make a special doghouse for Mashi, he had fun doing that.

December 2010

December was a busy but fun filled month, as it is for most families. We enjoyed many holiday activities, and a beautiful Christmas season with family and friends. Ashley had her holiday dance recital and did a great job with that. Myself and a couple of other friends threw a baby shower for our good friend Marla & baby Kaylie, it was great fun! Doug, Dora & family came to visit us the week after Christmas and once again we all had a blast together. It was fun to have them here for my birthday, and play in all the snow that fell. A huge snow storm hit the same day they were heading back to Albuquerque, it was a bit scary to watch them leave, but luckily they made it home safe.

Thanksgiving 2010 - Albuquerque trip

We had a great time visiting with Doug, Megan & their families, as well as Grannie Annie & Grandpa Bill who came up to Albuquerque from Las Cruces. Yaya (Cristian's mom) also came along with us, it was a great week with family!

Cristiancito loves loves loves Batman, he also had a great time trick or treating with his cousins and friends.

It was pretty hard to get a good photo of Mateo in his Halloween costume, he would not stay still for even a second, Baby Batman was constantly on the move! He had fun trick or treating, especially watching all of the big kids run around.

Ashley was an Elizabethan Princess for Halloween, she is the princess of the house being the only girl, it was fun to plan her hairdo and help her get ready.

Mateo went for his first "drive" this month. He is finally big enough to sit on his own in those shopping carts with the cars for the kids attached. He went wild when he got in, he was so happy as you can see.

Cristiancito really loves playing the piano, he composed a short song for the Reflections contest, and his piano teacher helped him score it on a music sheet to turn in with a recording. His song was called "Mystery Ghost" and sounds very spooky!
