The Garcia Family Connection: February

February

February was a good month. Not too much happened, but we had fun hanging out. Saul went to Florida for work - he loved it. Faith got her top two teeth, it was rough but I think the worst is behind us. Cousins Alex and Matt come over almost everyday to play while their parents have to work - we have a lot of fun with them. Cousin Audrey came to visit one day, she loves to smile. Life is good!

I had given Faith some Cheerios and in the second it took me to put the box away Elias and cousins Matt and Alex swamped over, it was a little freaky!

Elias and cousin Matt playing in the fort I made them.

Faith loved it too.

This was a cold and snowy winter - here's proof!

This is the front of our cute little house.

Faith loves her daddy!

What a pair.

Elias loves chocolate.

My little Lord of the Dance!

This is how daddy's go bald.

Faith gives sweet kisses!

These are to show her newest teeth!

And that beautiful smile!

So, Elias is a rock star. Check out his moves!

And the face (what you can see at least).

Faith with cousin Audrey who is about 4 months younger!

These are Elias in his cool glasses he got from Saul's work party.

Slick Rick!

Faith loves to eat, especially Elias' food!

SAUL

Welcome to the United States! Yes Saul is officially a Resident of the US of A. As of March 26th! Yay! He still enjoys his job at Cantwell Bros. Lumber. They are wonderful to him there. He goes and works out with his buddies from work every morning before work. The man has lost over fourty pounds!! Go Saul!! He is a busy dad as takes care of the kids when I'm off to work some evenings!! The kids are really close to him. He has become one with the kitchen and his new friend is the George Foreman grill where he woops up a mean grilled chicken, yum!!

ZURI

School is Cool! Zuri, me, has returned to work and school this fall. It's busy and crazy, but it's working out. Since May I have been working at a residencial treatment center for girls. It is fun and challenging - I like it. In August, I returned to USU and am applying for the Masters of Family and Human Development program in January. I started out with a different educational goal (2nd Bachelor's), so I took a sewing class this semester - I can now sew! I'll need some practice, however, because its never straight!! I am adjusting to leaving my babies, it's been hard. I certainly treasure every minute with them!! They are sooo much fun!

ELIAS

NO more pull-ups!! Elias has officially conquered the potty!! We are super proud of him and we have a celebration after each and every time. Elias is going to school now a couple of times a week. He goes to a preschool that helps him with his speech. He has improved so much!! We love his teacher. If I was to pick one thing that Elias is really into - I couldn't. He loves all the characters on t.v. He likes books and love to play cars. Elias loves his baby sister Faith, he will even share his things and treats with her, sometimes. Elias is already a good rolemodel for Faith. He has great manners, he does well saying please, thank you, and I'm sorry!

FAITH

Little Faith, she is a doll. Her hair is growing longer and longer curls, especially the spot that Elias cut off! She is a spicy one, though. Don't get on her bad side, she'll let you know all about it!! Elias knows first hand - on the side of his eye is a scar to prove it! She'll even get mad at me and not want anything to do with me! She is also sweet. She loves to sing Twinkle Little Star and is learning the ABCs and 123s with Elias. Faith loves being a mommy to her babies. She pretends to cook for them and change their diapers. She is still under 20 pounds! Yes she is 21 months old. She is starting to gain weight little by little.
