Lucy is here!

Lucia is almost a month old already! Maya is such a good older sister, she loves helping out with Lucy!

Last days before Lucia and the end of 2013

Maya's second Christmas. She loves Santa!

My dude date was December 24th, and as I should have predicted based on my experience with Maya, that day came and went. So now I either walk this kid out, or she will be evicted on December 31st.

Maya is adamant about walking Sancho in the mornings.

Maya's first hair cut...

Almost due with baby #2

It's been a long, hard and eventful year- between my brother Benji passing away, my new job and a slightly unexpected pregnancy #2 ( due December 24th). Benji's sudden death has really hut us hard, yet there always seems to be a silver lining that shows me how lucky I am to have so many people that care and love me, I have food on my table and a roof over my head. To top it off, I have a wonderful family and I'm delighted to see if grow. Here are some shots from the last year or so...

I'm incredibly lucky for the life I lead, but it doesn't make it easier- I still miss you Dork.

Here are some photos from the past two months... it has been pretty hectic. I started a new job, we've done some travelling and had visitors. I'm just getting around to unloading all of these pics! 

Mom and her Paul came to visit... we did some sightseeing. 

Both Maya and I got the flu and stayed sick at home for a day.

We did some hiking with la Abueli.
