What a transitionary time in our household! (Is "transitionary" a word??) New job, new preschool, new schedules, etc. Thanks to God, all is going well.

Our Blaise is growing like a weed! At his last checkup, his doctor said that he was doing well... "especially on weight"! Sebastian is doing great at his new preschool. Today, we are on the search for things that begin with "P" for tomorrow's Show & Tell. So far, we have a pacifier, pen, penny... and he's hoping I'll let him take a pickle to school. Karol, too, is doing well. She is becoming so much more conversational these days!

Here is a recent pic of me & Blaise, taken by my old college roommate when we went to visit her down in S. Texas. :)

And while in South Texas, we hit the beach!

And last, but not least, we took the annual visit to the Basillica of Our Lady of San Juan. What a beautiful place!

Well, life is good. We're slowly, but surely, adjusting to life with 3 kids. I truly feel blessed. Blaise, our newest is now about 7 weeks old. He's beginning to coo and smile, which melts all of our hearts... especially his older siblings. Sebastian often says, "Mom, he's just so cute!" Here's a picture of Blaise & Mom!



My hubby is now one year older, praise the Lord. Karol, Sebastian, & I did our best to spoil him throughout the day. We topped off the day with an ice cream cake, which Blaise accidently stuck his foot in!




The big news around here is that in a week or two will begin to work as a full-time instructor at the university. It's an amazing opportunity, so after much prayer, we realized it was an offer I couldn't refuse. I will still get a lot of time with the kids during the day, but not as much as before. I will particularly miss hanging out as much with all of the homeschooling moms & kids. Here we all are after a recent daytime Mass at the monestary.


Last but not least, here's one of our 3!

We're days away from Blaise's arrival, and things are going great! Sebastian has a countdown happening, and just can't wait for this baby!

Happy Easter! We had a beautiful Easter here in Laredo, celebrating it with family and friends. The kid are getting better and better at that egg-hunting every year, which my sister credits to the Carrasco genes! (My family REALLY likes that candy!)


The next baby is almost here! God-willing, he'll arrive in another 11 weeks or so. We are all very excited, especially the kids!


And as usual, we have that annual not-so-perfect Easter picture to share! We wish you all well!

Things keep getting better and better here in Laredo! It's so nice to put the kids in shorts and spend time at the park in the middle of winter and cold season! :)

Jorge & I celebrated our 6th anniversary in January, thanks to God! Here is a pic of the kids with the anniversary flowers!


The kids are growing up so quickly, so I am honored to be able to watch it all happen, thanks to God. They are sooo excited for the arrival of their little brother. (And at a chunky 6 months of pregnancy, so am I!) Sebastian recently made his own bed for the 1st time, so I was sure to get a picture!


Living in Laredo gives us the beautiful opportunity to frequently visit all of our family in Corpus Christi. Here is a picture of Karol getting spoiled by her cousin, Alex, and Uncle Ralph!


While in Corpus Christi, we also attended a Roaring 20's Valentine's Dance for Sts. Cyril & Methodius Church (Jorge's hometown parish). It was the perfect way for us to celebrate Valentine's Day with family & friends! (I would've posted more pics, but my duck-taped camera kept dying! Good news: I just got a new one!)

We have just returned to Laredo after a wonderful Christmas vacation. We went to Odessa, and spent time with Grandma, Great-Grandma, Tia Vanessa, Tia Angel, and many dear friends. We also made stops in Austin, Lockhart, and San Antonio for special visits with more family and friends! It was a great time, but we're pooped and glad to be home!
