It has been such a long time since we posted, we've been keeping up with everyone through email, Facebook, and Kodak picture sharing... we hope that everyone is doing as well as we are! Luisy and Christian and happy and healthy (other than the occasional cold here and there, but that is to be expected.) They have grown to be the best big brothers, and try hard to help take care of Sophie and keep her happy!

Luisy is in Kindergarten this year, and Christian is in pre-school, preparing for Kindergarten - hopefully he'll be screened into "early entrance" kindergarten next year. They are both learning so much in their classes - Luisy is already reading, and is a good student. He sometimes has his "days" where he has a tough time, but don't we all? He adores his teacher and she likes him too! Luisy loves to play Webkinz and has a whole little Puppy Family that he diligently takes care of...

Christian works hard every day on their classes' projects and loves to play sports! Christian is still set (even at this early age) on being a Sun Devil, a Dimondback, a Sun, and a Cardinal...he's got a lot of practices to schedule in order to make that a reality! He loves to play computer games on their "Click and Play" Christian is also enjoying getting used to playing with our new puppy, Turbo...he is the cutest little German Short Hair...

Sophie is walking and we swear that she talks - when someone comes into the room she greets them with a "HI" and when she wants a bite of what you're eating, she surely says, "EAT"... She is very, very active and is constantly on-the-go... she loves her baby dolls and just got a new one for Christmas - when she saw it laying under the tree, she lit up and went right to it...She also got a new push/ride-on toy that she is really getting the hang of quickly. She likes to sit on it with her dolly and go around and around. She's also just started climbing up on things (like little chairs, etc.) and is quickly mastering the art of getting up and down.

We also have Tio Luisito living with us, and Papi will be home in Feburary too - that will make what Christian calls the "big family" complete. Luis (Luichy) is on his own now and has a law firm where he and his partner practice Lemon Law - no more big firm politics, etc.

We'll try to get a few pics up soon - and hope that all is well with you!
