Samia Talking

Samia talking:

Talking about titi Mio so she ask me where she was I say she die and her question is WHY so I tell her that is what God wanted then she looks at me with her innocent face and says MAMI is GOD BAD?

-Then we keep on talking about God and then she says God also die with a crown of spikes.

-She confess that yesterday when I got mad at her and I send her to her room she was spitting in the floor and at her dress, so I look at her and told her that is not nice nor acceptable, so she looks back at me and then tells me but mami you are not mad at me now because I am not doing it.

Samia told me Jackson was a dad and he wanted to marry her.  He was falling in love with her and nothing else this are your exacts words  (Samia I just wish you have the same thinking for the next 20 years)

She did tell me they were playing pretend all along.

Samia - Mami what do we do when we get old?

Everyday you say something great that is why I write everything in all kind of scrap papers then I pass everything in here.

Amir you are about to walk you have already taken a few steps I can not believe in less than 2 weeks you would be a year old, but I also have to be sincere I like the fact that I will be out of the baby stages I think I have had enough 5 years in a row I have had babies in my house, is very draining and I know it all pays off but there are times that I want to run run run away, something like Forrest Gump.  

Is not everyday or at all times is just those times when my patience is coming to an end but the I can not blame them they tend to never get tired.

Cool day lots of fun

Today was such a fun day we all played outside for hours the day was just gorgeous perfect not hot not cold.

It was funny seeing all of us outside...Samia opted to read a book my little book worm.... Amir opted to eat grass and crawl...Gamila opted to write in the fence...and baba and mami played catch for a very long time.

Since last year that the Saints won we watch football we did not used to but now we don't miss it so today after warming up for our game baba went to get us some wings for lunch and boy did those kids had fun in particular a little man that though he could eat a whole drum.

Nenes I being meaning to tell you the other day I was at dance practice waiting for Samia and it was the first time I met a lady that was in there and the whole 50 minutes the only thing that came out of that lady's mouth was negative if it was not complaining was saying how tired and exhausted she was....truly after listening for 10 minutes I wanted to tell her can you just shut up...for god sakes you are healthy there are people that are dying out there and believe me I don't think they would spend an hour complaining...so nenes try to be positive is okey to some times say we are sad or upset or tired or things did not come out like we wanted it but...don't get stuck in your negativity...  

The rest of the week was nice doing the regular routine dance, school, home, baths, watching the sunset out of my window etc.

This week is going to be a busy one little man is getting tubes so we have a bit of appoinments I don't want to think to much about it so I don't start loosing sleep, but I know I am going to be very nervous.

I am also going to start school to get a master soon Inshallah this way when the kids are ready to hit school mami is ready to hit a new career.

A little catching up

I feel I been neglecting my blog lately, but after coming back from vacation I don't know why it is so hard to get back to a routine, and the truth is that I am not a good human being if I don't have a daily routine, I notice the kids do okay if they don't have they routine, I guess that as we get older we become more efficient if we have the routine.

Lately I being swamp by Dr.appointments I am getting my gallbladder remove so trying to schedule my appointments with out the kids is kind of hard, and at time impossible, for instance yesterday I was stuck and the Dr.'s office having an EKG and Xray done with my three smurfs, everything has to be said they were awesome, for some reason Samia you behave worst that the two little ones I think it has to be with your age.

Is funny although they behaved so well my blood pressure was still up, we are thinking it could be that I was stress out of having them there and they were going to be loud or my allergy medicines, yes I am suffering from allergies I thikn here in Louisiana everybody has them it took me 4 years to get sick, baba started suffering them last year.

On a good note Abu would be coming soon to give baba a hand while I am recuperating from the surgery.

yesterday Milo started her dance routine is only 30 minutes but she enjoys it allot, Samia started hers last Thursday needless to say she loves it.

Away from trying to catch up with everything I being doing some reading and my Novelas que vaina tienen tantas novelas colombianas que me he vuelto una idiota pegada al televisor...thank God for DVR if not I will be in huge trouble.

You nenes since I came from Miami I am trying to work in not trying to get done everything done in one day, sometimes I notice we put extra jobs on us that are not needed not letting us enjoy every single moment of hte day and is not fair life is too short to be worry about things we can not control or that can be fix tomorrow...

Amir ---- you are getting big starting to sit up and when I put you down you are getting in the crawling position, no teeth as of now however you are eating lots of new things I think in a few more weeks I will be introducing you to table food.  Overall you are a very happy baby!

Samia ------ you are my bundle of joy I love to see how you are growing up how you say the funniest things, how much you comprehend now days and one thing I am learning about you is that you talk when you want to talk I try to get info about how your day went and you will play the quiet game however when I least expected you start telling me everything.   Nena always remember that mami is here to listen to you and don't worry how bad it can be Always the truth that is what matters at the end of the day.

Milo ----- you are my arrow fast for everything, very self sufficient I can is your favorite word, I also see how much you love your sister and try to follow whatever she is doing, one thing I can say Milo you can go from cold to hot like one of those cars that race, but I just love that about you

Oh nenas you guys still bring the books from school and we read them at night here is what we have read lately.

My helpers

Nenas is amazing how fast is going, Milo you love to follow what Samia does.  Samia you love to help me around the house, the best part is that you try and put so much effort into.  You guys enjoy cooking, cleaning, pretty much anything that needs to get done.

After so many chores I also love how you guys get dress up in your wild princess customs and I am amaze Milo how well you handle the princess shoes.

 

  

  

  

 

Colombia Family reunion

This is a Abuelo...te quiero mucho papi

So nenas like you already know mami in Colombia has a very numerous numerous family.
lots of primos, uncles, tias etc etc...and most important Abuelo oh I surely miss him allot, Inshallah next year we can go and visit him. He will be so happy to carry the two of you and play. He always loved children and children love him. He is a very intelligent man, wise man it so sad that he is not close to us so we can spend more time with him, but nenas the fact that we don't see or live close to the ones we love does not mean we don't think about them or love them everyday more and more.

This past weekend tio Octavio came from Spain and Sor Margarita (This is how we address a nun) came from Ecuador. She is a woman to admire she dedicated her whole life to God and has always live in poor villages taking care of the orphans. Abuelo went to visit her a couple of years back and the village she was at, was so far away that he even had ride a donkey to be able to reach her village.

I remember when I was a little girl she came to visit us in Pasto, and all of a sudden there was an earthquake and Sor Margarita would not come out of her room till she fix her veil...oh it was funny here is Abuelo screaming "MARGARITA" come out and she is hold hold I need to fix this thing. One thing I surely remember about her is her contagious smile.

Nenas here are some pictures of some of mami's uncles and aunts there are some missing.

Here are some of mamis cousins and believe me girls there are many many many more

And nenas this is the picture the two of you fall into these are the children from mami's primos and there are many many more and unfortunately I don't know any of them, hopefully soon.
