catching up

It's been quite awhile since I last wrote. A lot has been happening since then. My brothers and their significant others were all in town at the same time at the end of May. We had a great time all being together and just enjoying each others company. We had a lot and I mean a lot of family time and were able to celebrate my mom's birthday together. It was wonderful having them here and makes me sad after a week, both had to leave.
Carlos has been vigorously working on his medical school application. It's a lot of work and hopefully it all will be wrapped up by the end of the week.
We also found out we're expecting a baby. We had said all along that we wanted to get pregnant sometime this year. And although we weren't trying to get pregnant when we did, we're happy it happened and very much looking forward to the busy holiday season we'll be having with the new baby due on Dec. 23.
Bela is growing so quickly. She's walking now, everywhere. She has the greatest little personality even though with it comes a bit of an attitude from time to time. We're looking into buying a bike trailer for her so we can start taking bike rides together.
