Time to say "See you soon"

After my mom left on the 4th of December, my sisters Viviana and Grecia as well as my dad have been coming to help with the babies on daily basis and my sister Vanessa has stayed at my house to help me out but now its time for her to go back to Austin.  So I want to say: "Thank you, thank you, thank you" and have a safe trip going back...... love you Vanessa!!!

ha ha ha..... Vanessa with the quints

Happy New Year 2011!!!

Receiving the year at our church was a blessing...... we (Enrique, Fernando & I) have been doing it for 7 years now.  My church opens at 9:00 pm on the 31st. and with worship to God, testimonies, and prayers we receive the year to come. (Then the next day we get together with our family).

Unbelievable..... but true!

My computer is not working, and I did not got the chance to download the Christmas pictures nor my birthday pictures........ therefore, I do not have anything to show you. But I can tell you......
We stayed at home since it was a bit cold so everybody came to my house to spend Christmas Eve together (family tradition), in which we await for the next day to come. As a tradition, we open presents after midnight, rarely we leave some for the morning.  On the 24th. the boys went to sleep at their usual time (8:30 pm) but the girls stayed awake 25 minutes passed midnight (until some presents were opened).
I'll like to thank my family for the support and all the effort!!! God bless you ;)

Well, I have some photos to share...

Quints Dedication to God at Church....

As part of our beliefs, we do not baptize the babies but what we do is present them to our congregation and dedicate them to God like Mary and Joseph did to Jesus. So we choose our witnesses or God parents for each baby..... it was great to have all the people I love with us.

Elsie's Birthday!!

Elsa is a dear friend of mine and sister in Jesus Christ.....and with the complicity of Ana and Dario and the help of my cousin Denisse, we ventured to Katy (we drove nearly an hour) to surprise her on her birthday. Her house is one of the few places I feel free to visit with all the babies.....

Professional Pictures !!!

Back in October while getting ready for the winter, the quints had a photo shoot session. It was great because I did not have to go anywhere since the photographer came to my house!!!! The temperature outside worked perfectly for us and the babies did not fuss that much (remember working with 5 little ones is hard) but Tiffany did a fabulous job.
I received the Cd yesterday and I would like to share some pics......

I would like to thank Tiffany Daniel for the great pictures she took of the quints.

Quints are home !!

It has been a while...... but I have been very busy! Now all of my babies are home but they came out of the hospital on different days.
The first one to leave the hospital was Matilde on Sept. 8 with only 5 weeks and 4 days. Next one was Isaac... just the day after on Sept. 9. The following weeks Aaron and Joel came out..... Aaron on Sept. 12 and Joel on Sept. 13, and finally Priscilla on Sept. 18 after having and infection in the intestines  (NECK) that was controlled by doctors on time.

Having poor sleep... but it is worth it!!
