A Little Miss Audrey update....

At 5 months old you're very alert. You grab my face and pull it towards yours as you slobber all over my cheeks giving me "kisses". Emma and Nelson love all over you and it's such a joy to watch! I'm amazed at the love you all have for each other! Emma has helped me so much while Nelson was at school and she loved for you to sit in your swing as she played in the bedroom. When I needed to nurse you Emma liked to have tea parties with us! 

You rolls over quite well, scoot alittle, and make these adorable "dove sounds" when you're calling for attention. (You've  been doing this for quite some times now). You don't cry too much, but this could be because there are so many of us to give you attention! She's very playful and love to laugh. Nelson likes to take off your socks and shake your legs around and you really get a kick out of it. The first thing you've eaten other than nursing is Olive oil. This last week you've also started drinking around 2oz of goats milk. Dr Colón recommended that for you to gain a little more weight. You're just very pleasant and enjoy chewing/sucking on your toes right now, as well as, you two fingers or a thumb. When Papi comes home from work he holds you all through dinner. You have a little toy doll we call Betty. Papi and the kids brought her to you when you were still at the hospital. You like to play with her, a rattle, and a stuffed owl that Gram and Papa sent you. You are very loved by all of us. 

Out of the overflow ...

Nelson's singing to Audrey... He said "there once was a time that the Holy Ghost came .... The man who was chained was free" it was kind of a bluegrass feel, "there once was a time when there was a girl named Emma who went to jail, she went to prison." He leaned over and whispered to Emma "I'm talking about a different Emma" and then continued singing "she went to the authorities. She didn't know about God, but she's 24 and now shes with the Lord...espíritu, espíritu, espíritu," And then went into babbling!

Sometimes it's really hard to keep a straight face around here! 

Moving on ...

Big boy Nelson finished kindergarten!! We are so happy for you!!  

On the last day of school we had a backyard party and celebrated with some of your friends from Ms Ojedas class! 

Here comes 1st Grade!! 

The Way of Wisdom

Proverbs 4:4-9, 12-15, 18

Get wisdom, get understanding: forget it not; neither decline from the words of my mouth. Forsake her not, and she shall preserve thee: love her, and she shall keep thee. Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom and with all thy getting get understanding. Exalt her, and she shall promote thee: she shall bring thee to honour, when thou dost embrace her. She shall give to thine head an ornament of grace: a crown of glory shall she deliver to thee.

When though goest, they steps shall not be straitened; and when thou runnest, thou shalt not stumble. Take fast hold of instruction; let her not go: keep her; for she is thy life. Enter not into the path of the wicked, and go not in the way of evil men. Avoid it, pass not by it, turn from it, and pass away. 

But the path of the just is as a shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day.
