I have always been very intimidated of baking with yeast, causing me to shy away from it my entire life. On Friday at MOPS we had a lesson on baking bread with yeast. I took my starter bread home, finished letting it rise and baked it.  It was a little mis-shaped, but super good. My [...]

Eliana, like most kids I’m sure, loves attention. When we enter a room with people she always seeks out one or two people, stares at them until they look at her, and then she gives them this sweet smile and turns her head away like she’s shy, only to repeat this multiple times to keep [...]

Here’s Eliana enjoying her first Valentine treat on Valentine’s Day. And what better way to tell her that we love her than by giving her a pig at the dollar isle in Target. She was thrilled! Aca esta Eliana disfrutando de su primer regalo de San Valentin. Y que mejor manera de decirle que la [...]

We accompanied Adriel to Puerto Rico last week, and although he worked everyday at the office, Eliana and I were thouroughly spoiled. Our first suprise was our fabulous view from our hotel room. Eliana waved “hi” to the ocean in the morning and said good-bye and blew a kiss to it before bed. I hope her [...]

Snow storm #3 hit us last week, which again claimed Adriel’s time shoveling our driveway. But this time Eliana was not alone watching her Papi. Cayó la Tormenta de nieve #3 la semana pasada, y una vez mas requirio de que Adriel paleara la entrada de los autos. Pero esta vez Eliana no estaba sola [...]

Eliana has been fighting lots of cold viruses this winter and it has made for lots of snot. On this particular snotty day she was able to save a snack for later by gluing a cheerio to her nose with none other than SNOT! Eliana ha estado batallando con muchos viruses de resfrio este invierno [...]

Eliana loves to listen to her Papi play the guitar (the one he got for Christmas). Adriel has learned a couple of children’s songs that he sings while playing to her. It’s been very soothing to watch and hear the sound of live music in our house. A Eliana le encanta escuchar a su papi [...]
