Sick weekend

Unfortunately, our Cinco de Mayo weekend resulted in Tamara developing walking pneumonia. She had started with a fever last Sunday and then appeared to be getting better when Saturday morning (6 days later), she dwindled into the quietest Tamara I have ever seen. She definitely wasn't herself so we took her to her doctor. You could tell that her doctor was worried and gave her a major tune up with a huge shot in both legs (she didn't even cry), a breathing treatment (she fell asleep on me while she was taking it), oral antibiotics, albuterol inhaler, daily Singular and more Tylenol. Through all of this, Tamara still requested her Jamba juice and white rice from the Chinese restaurant.

After the doctor visit (notice the snoopy sticker on her chest). The nursing staff thought she was so brave since she took her shot without even crying.

Spring Concert

Tamara participated in her school's spring concert today. It was a really nice production and Tamara did a great job. The entire pre-school and kindergarten classes recited a bible verse, counted in a different language and sang a song. Tamara's class is the youngest so their verse was short and they counted from 1-10 in English. Then they sang "Look Around the Praire". It was very cute and Tamara was wonderful considering she wasn't feeling very well.

Tamara is in the top row 4th from the right.

Just wanted to capture a rare moment, Tamara in a dress.



Cant forget her little sister, she did great at the concert, slept the entire time.

Playdate

The Tao's came over to meet Julianna today. Connor and Tamara had a great time playing. They took the mustang to the park and Connor got a kick out of Tamara's crazy driving.




Returning from a fun trip to the park.




That was so much fun!




Connor didn't know that his friend Tamara is a Danica Patrick wanna be.




Wow! That was one crazy drive.



Finish off with a little Scooby Doo (Tamara's favorite cartoon).

Lets Celebrate!

This evening, our compadres Danny & Cecilia agreed to become the Godparents of our little Julianna. We were soo happy when they said yes.. They are great people and we know that they are going to be the best godparents to our little girl. We are so fortunate to have them as friends and look forward to spending many great moments together. Thank you guys!!


My poor little Tamara didn't enjoy the evening since she had heat exhaustion from the beach earlier today and spent the entire dinner lying down.

Is it Summer already?

Today it reached the 90's in our part of town so we decided to take a drive to the beach. Who would have thought that it was just as hot in Malibu, 94 degrees. Wow! We stuck it out and had a great time. The first thing we saw when we arrived was a school of dolphins about 150 feet off shore, it was amazing. They were doing tricks and everything. I can't remember ever seeing dolphins so close in Southern California, that made my day. We all had a great time.



The black dots in the ocean are dolphins.




Julianna hanging out.




Having fun.



Rest time.



Our familia.

5 weeks old today

Julianna turns 5 weeks old today. She weighed in at 7 pounds 11 oz - she has gained 2 pounds since she was born. She is doing well and is growing fast. Sleeping is still a problem but otherwise we are great.


Hi everyone!



Deep in thought.

I love my sister.

Special Moments

I finally got some sleep last night so I took advantage of it and took the kids to visit their grandparents and great aunt. I have been wanting to get out in the mornings but have been to tired to do so, so today I took advantage of my restful state and off we went.
