Florida Vacation

Franco won an incentive trip to the Ft. Lauderdale Harbor Beach Marriott. All expenses paid for 3 days, ocean-view 10th floor room, wining, dining, and head-swelling, couples massage, Las Olas Boulevard, and best of all, no kids! In one word...Awesome!

I'm so proud of my hubby for being in the top 6% for sales in the company last year. He has worked so hard! This trip helped me to understand what he's doing all the time and why he can't come home sometimes. Besides, I want to go to St. Kitts next year :)

Kindergarten Performance

Alex's Kindergarten Performance was the other night. Before it started, Alex went up on the stage to practice. Anna couldn't resist performing as well:

Alex was awesome as usual singing about bears and bees!

Mali's Baptism

I have really neglected my blog for a long time. Life has just been going along. But, the most important thing that happened is Mali's baptism. I have never seen her pay such attention to a church meeting. The next Sunday, she bore her testimony that being baptized was going to help her to be more like Jesus. My mom came and helped out and even sang a duet with me. It was a very special day!

Construction Work

Franco's mom has been here for the past two weeks and of course, I took advantage of the free babysitting to do some construction projects. Anna so kindly ruined the carpet in the master bathroom by pouring an entire bottle of shampoo on it so I ripped it our and put tile down. I stained the dirty white bathroom cabinets a lovely mahongany. That project took a whole week and then it was on to the laundry room which I painted and re-tiled. Franco helped me hang all new shelves. After a few more touches, it will be a joy to do laundry.

I haven't been doing much singing lately. In fact, I've been skipping rehearsals and haven't sung a note in almost a month. So now that the projects are done, I need a manicure and a lot of rehearsal.

The kids were out of school for spring break last week. We had so much fun with Nanna going to Monkey Joes, Stone Mountain, and the park. We ate out a lot, but my favorite part was that Nanna did the dishes the whole time. I hate that I have to go back to doing it myself now! I will miss her being here.

Alex's sixth birthday

Before the party started, the kids were helping me practice the opera to make sure I could do it by myself. Then, I couldn't get them out of the costumes.

First thing the kids did was an art project. They got to color a picture of Gertrude McFuzz and put as many feathers on her as they wanted.

Next came the show. The kids ate popcorn and enjoyed participating and dressing up. They were so cute!

After pizza, Alex opened his presents.


Last came cake and ice cream. Alex and all his friends had such a good time. Hopefully, this will be a memorable birthday for him. He's growing up so fast!

Growing Up Fast

Anna learned to crawl out of her crib so it's time for a toddler bed. We bought her an extendable bed. It goes from a toddler bed all the way to a twin. Tonight is her first night trying to sleep in it. We're trying to make Supernanny proud by trying her techniques. Franco has been putting her back in the bed for about 2 hours now. I think he fell asleep first. Stay strong Franco! One tough night will lead to many happy nights!

Good job Dad!

Playing Outside

Ten days ago it was snowing and now it's warm enough to play outside. My children are so beautiful, if I do say so myself!
