back in Lincoln...

Daddy...he is so happy with us, he loves playing with the girls, and i love watch them, how carefully he is with sophie, how he likes her to laugh, give all his attention to emily and her silliness....and mommy's silliness too...

Emily...she is happy to see daddy, she plays with every single toy she finds and is not much into helping put them back...i have to put half of the toys away because of that...all in my big corner pile....she is not speaking to much english, it seems like she has forgotten a lot, but she is trying every time she meets her friends....

Sophie.... climbing climbing and falling falling....eating paper, i vacuum every single day, and she keeps finding them!!!...she even chew the baby wipes!....she doesnt eat much, probably is the new food she is trying (gerber products), the first weeks are still hard to get fresh food on the table, but now it is getting better....

after two weeks of crawling to every corner of the house, she decide it is time to walk a little more than two steps!!!, i love when she walks towards emily, and how the big sister encourage her to keep walking...

Ericka....for me it has been very weird, since i have arrive i seem kind of lost, trying to think twice to be sure what i am doing, i trying to hard to speak english......this last sound so weird to me, to hear my voice like that....and the worse is that not much people understands me anymore!...what happened, i dont know, it it not the first time i have been away for that long....

on the other hand, i am happy to be at home, taking care of my "ninias", with emily it was very different, i was desperate to get out and talk to other human being, i mean not a baby being.....things are quite easier here, sophie is free to go everywhere she wants and for that i had lots and lots of things to do to baby proof the apartment, but i took the easiest way, i just grabbed every harmfully thing and made a big pile on one corner where sophie cant go, and then i will organize it little by little...it may take one year or so, ja, ja, ja (maybe when my mommy visits me again!).....life keeps going, the cooking, the cleaning, the playing, etc...they dont stop just for me....

this weeks i have been trying to take sophie to the doctor for her poor eating, her vaccinations, her changes...., i guess the worse was to get an school for emily, just few days after i came back my friend told me to hurry up because registrations for kindergarten were pretty close and i needed many things like her vaccinations list, an appointment for medical, vision and dental, her birth certificate (i had one, i just had to look in my big pile at the corner!)....and my big shook was to know that i can not register in the school i want, i have to register in a school of my area (i wanted one close to work), after searching my friend found there is a petition to transfer her to another school, but on the day of registration the school told me the dead line for that application was already in january, but i can take a chance sending it to the public schools department...and from there it was almost sure they will denied, but i can re-apply within 10 days......

well if i cant change her school it is ok, at the end, i guess, i just didnt like not to find this information on the web page of lincoln public schools before all this...

then daddy had to travel to Brazil for a job interview, so he was pretty busy too, with his work and this presentation...

We have had 2 "snow storms" since i came back and on the day before the last one, a lovely sunny day! we visited the big park! i was happy to do all the walk and specially of not being tired...at least not for walking...

it has been pretty busy, but the weather is a relief, i take my stroller and just go out to get the lovely spring air to fill my lungs and give me some happiness to continue my journey in this life....

and by the way, we also celebrate my 35th birthday!, i almost forgot about it with everything going on, but my lovely husband remind me just after 12 am...i was watching a late movie!...and of course few days later, sophie's 1 st year!, we are going to properly celebrate it after daddy comes back...we dont want her to be mad of not having anything on her First B-day after her sister had her nice party...that woulnt be fair...
