"Oh, by-goo-ness!"

It is so funny watching the children grow. "Oh, my goodness!" is a phrase that I often use around the house. Andrew has picked up quite a few phrases here lately. They don't always come out just right, but we can understand them. He has began saying, "Oh, by-goo-ness!" It is so funny! He also has been asking the question, "Why?" lately...his teacher says he finally understands what why means and now he asks lots of "why?" questions! I just love watching them grow. They have grown so much since we have become a family. It is so neat and I can't wait to watch them as they grow and blossom from one day to the next as they become the men and woman God desires them to be!

Diego's Update: Diego hates vegetables! "Oma, me like no!" He loves the carbs! We are trying to convince him that the green stuff makes him grow big and tall, with mucho muscles! His speech has really improved. He still has a long way to go, but we can decipher what he is saying now about 80% of the time! He has become a little stubborn-wanting his way a lot, and using the word "no" a lot as well. He continues to give mucho abrazos y besitos!!! He loves his Beanie "cat". He has recently lost a little weight, and I think he is growing a little taller now, too.

Tatiana, our princess, is just that...she is a great help in the day time to Beamie. She does well with her school work and even helps Diego! They love to praise each other and give each other high fives when they accomplish something! She is my beautiful daughter that I am so proud of. She is very kind and sometimes shy, but warms up to others pretty quick! Her favorite toy??? I'm not sure...she follows her big brother around a lot, and tries to please him. She likes dancing and turning flips and attempting the cart-wheel! She has a hilarious laugh! We love to hear her laugh!
