Our move to Texas: First phase.

We were in El Paso for about 3 days together before Momma went back to Portland to finish up packing. We went to the zoo and shopping to get out of the heat. Olivia loves other kids and is having a blast with her primo Jonathan. Olivia was fascinated by the seal lions and it was so cute to watch her looking for them.

I miss Olivia so so much. I didn't think it was going to be this hard. Thankfully at this point it is almost over. We video chat everyday but I almost always end up crying and then feel weird that Albert can see me sobbing. She is going to be with her Grandma and Grandpa and Tios in just 2 days! I hope it goes well and they all have fun.

Issy has been keeping me entertained as much as she can. Right now she is doing the samba in my belly. The other morning I was laying on my back and feeling around my stomach for the top of my womb and she started punching my hand and rolling around under it. It felt so strange and exciting. I can tell she has a lot of energy. I really am looking pregnant these days. I'm excited to see everyone in Arizona and spend some time there. Two weeks seems like a lot now but I think it won't be enough by the time I have to leave.

I am so thankful for Mis Suegros and all they are doing for us and for my daughter right now. I feel so loved and protected and a little strange that I am so dependent. I hope that the burden does not become too much. Even though leaving this city is hard on Albert and I, because it really feels like home to us, I am filled with happiness beyond belief that our families will share these memories with Olivia and Isadora. It's so much better with loved ones around.

Beach fun

We had to take Ollie to the beach one last time since she is walking and might actually be able to enjoy it. She seemed to like the new experience. She was hesitant about walking on the sand at first but warmed right up to it. The water was no problem at all even though it was pretty cold. Gus went with us and loved every minute.

The car ride was not that fun. Olivia is getting a molar and has had a very difficult few days. She always gets a fever when she cuts teeth and this one must hurt alot because she has been just miserable.

I am 22 weeks preggo now, so 5 1/2 months! I feel Isadora move all of the time, she even kicked Albert in the cheek the other day :) I think she is going to have lots of hair just like Ollie because I have been having lots of heartburn.

Well, we will see you all in just a few days!!
