I enjoyed his little giggles, his different facial expressions and every single moment I spent with him and his family.

That smile can warm up your soul in a heart beat.

Frank and I went to the same school but we had never seen each other. The first time we met was  inside the city bus. After that day he seemed to appear everywhere in the school hallways. How could it be that I had never seen him before? :) I’m glad he walked into my life and that he has been part of it for 13 years. He is truly an amazing person and I don’t think words can ever describe how much he means in my life. He is also an amazing father.

10 years later in 2007 we welcome our baby boy Diego. Now he is almost 3 years old and considers himself a super hero. He is definitely my little hero, the one that has given me the chance to try to be a super mom, even when I’m having challenging moments in balancing life. He has the best personality. His cheeks get fat when he laughs. There are days where his hair is out of control , and I’m having to brush it to keep it down. He gets that side from me, I’m forever fighting with my curls. Part of me wants to cut it but the other part does not want his curls to dissapear. I cried the first time Frank took him to the barber shop. It was suppose to be a surprised, but  I took it as if the world was falling apart. He looked much older, the baby in him seemed to be gone. Part of me does not want to accept that he is growing each day and one day he will be a man. While I love how little and sweet he is right now, I can only hope that we will help shape and mold his life, to always be a positive influence. And I do hope that we raise our son to live his life to the fullest and make his own choices with intelligence.It seems that right before bed time he has the most energy and does anything to make us crack a smile.  I feel like everything is right in the world when he’s curled up against my chest, when he tells me with the sweetest grin that he loves me. He tries to hug us tight, yet is not hard enough but just right. I think there’s a lot I can learn from him.

I feel like I am rambling now.. I wanted to share my 2 special loves. My family is everything to me.


Special thanks to Norm for capturing these moments.

Today I was excited to meet their baby sister Celine who I will be blogging about this week. :)

Jennifer your girls are beautiful. I can’t wait to show you more.

As soon as I picked him up today he reminded me that we needed to take out Rex (my neighbor’s dog). When he saw Rex he told him he better listen. lol (wonder where he  gets that from). Sometimes I just watch him and giggle on the side and wonder where does he comes up with all his cute sayings. “Rex when mommy has the camera out you need to look at her” . I probably could have gotten them both looking my way if it weren’t for my uncontrollable giggling. I love him :)

Lily was absolutely content the whole time I was there.

Lily’s grandma was here visiting and ask me for a special request. She wanted this pose with Lily since she has the same pose with her other granddaughter.

:)

Bethany it was such a treat to have met you and Lily. Give her big hugs.

To be able to capture this special moment in a women’s life is just something so amazing to me. I love the fact that they were up for anything and loved any suggestions I had for them.


Alicia, I love this photo. You are gorgeous! I can just picture Max agreeing with me :)



Alicia and Max thank you so much for sharing this special time with me. I can’t wait to meet Vincente.

Sigh. The way her parents interacted with Isabella is so precious, you can tell they love her very much. I love seeing precious moments like this.

I love this moment with daddy and his baby girl.
