Summer Star

Gigi's vocabulary is exploding! She is repeating every other word I say and she is stringing 3 words sentences together left and right! I'm so proud of this little girl! I still haven't seen any of the birthday pictures yet but will post some as soon as I can get a copy of my dad's pictures.

On Gigi's birthday she looked up at Rodolfo and said "best friend, Papi, best friend". His heart just about melted. Then later on that day she said to me "best friend, Mommy, best friend." My heart melted too. I don't know what is better, hearing Mommy for the first time, I love you for the first time, or best friend. They are all up there as those shining moments that I cannot forget!

As for an update on the adoptions, they have not worked out. The mothers chose to parent their babies. It is okay for me. Everything happened in such a whirlwind. It is probably better that Rodolfo and I have time to think about what direction we will go next. Plus, I know the decision was very difficult for the mothers and I am glad that they will keep their children. We continue to ask God for a miracle in my ovaries. I know that He hears our prayers.

HAPPY 2ND BIRTHDAY!!!

Today Georgia turned 2 years old at 11:37AM. We are so proud of our beautiful little angel and can't believe that it has already been two years! My how time flies! We will be having a birthday party on Saturday and I will post birthday pictures then. I wanted to include today the letter that Georgia's Abuelo Ofo so lovingly sent, it is so sweet and poetic. Here it is:

G E O R G I A: Número imperfecto, pero, increiblemente utilizado por DIOS. G R A C E: De una belleza inolvidable y altadama de un Principado de Mónaco muy querida por su pueblo y muy amada por el Orbe. Oh, pequeña princesita no sabes lodichosos que nos haces y la felicidad en que nuestros corazones palpitan al ritmo de tu gracia.... Oh Georgia Grace no sabes cuanto gruñe el Wallace por haber sido despojado de su trono? pero a la vez perdonada porque consiguió una verdadera ami-ga.....quién lo persiga y le hale su cola....Hoy es tu segundo aniversario y los pájaritos trinan con sus pechitos enchidos y felices revolotean al saber que su pricesita cumple años; BENDECIDAS SEAS PUES OH, BELLA PRINCESITA DE MI CORAZON!!Tu abuelo Rodolfo ¡FELIZ CUMPLEAÑOS GEORGIA GRACE!

Splash Pad

I'm sure you've heard of ambidexterous indiviuals. Well, I think my daughter might be ambidexterous x 2, either that or raisins just taste better this way. Please see video for an explanation.

One of the best things about the heat of August is the push to play outside in the water for relief! Have you ever heard of a splash park? These places are in parks around the city and they are free!! Georgia and I met up with Michelle and Ashley at the Splash Pad in Norman and had lots of fun. Wish I could have been running out there too.

Summer's sweet pleasures

You know those days when you just don't want to cook dinner? Well, I was having one the other day and so we decided to go eat at Bellini's. We braved the heat and had the good fortune of having the patio all to ourselves. It was warm outside, but with the misters they had going it was really a very pleasant and somewhat earthreal experience. The evening light was very soft and the whole atmosphere held a serenity that was unusually beautiful. I felt like we had been swept away to a distant, romantic village. Gigi ran around and played while we ate and talked. It was so refreshing to dabble in the pleasure of sitting on a patio, with my family on a summer evening. Luckily I had my camera in my purse and caught some cute pictures of Georgia as she played.
