So today I was reading an article on facebook where it said that one of the things we should do with our kids is writing letters. I blog every so often, but I have never told either one of my kids what they mean to me, and so in case something ever happened to us, I wanted each one of the them to know how they make me feel.
Jorge:
When we first knew we were going to be parents, we were so scared and excited at the same time. We had no idea of how we were going to do it, and we just could not wait to meet you, to hold you, and to love you. When we learned that you were special, we were once again afraid, but the minute you were born, all those fears just went away, and then we realized that all we needed was you. It does not matter if we have a good day or a bad day, if you are with us our days just brighten up. We know you do not have it easy, but we also know you are capable of achieving anything you set your mind to. You have the biggest heart out there, and have the strength and courage that not even your favorite superheroes dream of having. Everyday as we see you grow we thank God that you chose us to be your parents. You are a true blessing, and an example to follow. We love you so much little man!
Alana:
When we first learned we were expecting you we just could not believe how lucky we were. When we learned you were a girl our world just turned upside down, and when we first met you we realized that not even in our wildest dreams we could of have had a more perfect daughter. You are an amazing little girl, smart as can be, you know what you want and where you want to go, and you are just unstoppable. We know that whatever you want for life you will get, and we work everyday to make sure you know that. You are also the most adorable thing ever, every time you smile our hearts just melt, and when you hug us or kiss us, our world just stops. We thank God everyday for you and for your brother, and because you too chose us to be your parents. We cannot wait to see you grow. we love you dearly sweet angel!
We are the proud parents of a 32 week preemie baby boy that was diagnosed with VACTERL. We have faced many challenges in his short life term, and we know there are many more to come. Even though hard some times, we would not change our lives for the world!!!!

Happy birthday Sweet Angel!
Alana turned 1, and we could not me any prouder of her than we are! She is an amazing, fun, loving and independent little girl! She adores her little brother, and she has just so much love to share! Her smiles just brings joy to our family!
We decided to do a family picture session instead of a party. She is too young to remember, and the pictures will last forever! We put her in the cutest outfit ever, and we all dressed in the same colors. The pictures came out adorable!
On the night of her birthday we invited some friends and family over, and sang happy birthday . . . . the kids played with their cousins and had a blast.
Jorge has been doing great. He has been eating like a champ, and is now learning to pay theUkelele. He is also in swimming and art classes. They are very active children, so I need to keep them extremely busy!
Alana is also in music classes, and is learning to swim. In her case they teach her to float and scream while she floats so she will be rescued!!!!!
On Alana's milestones she can climb on the slide, and slide all by herself. She can get down from the bed without assistance. She is finally sleeping all night and in her big girl room!!!
Last night we put Jorge to bed like we always do. First we pray, then we tell him a bedtime story, and then we give him an excuse ( I need to use the restroom, will be right back) so we can leave his room, and he falls asleep by himself. Yesterday we prayed, we told him the bedtime story, and then he kicked us out, he said go use the bathroom already! He is such a mature little boy . . . an amazing kid!!!!
We have two amazing children, and we are absolutely in love with them!

Welcome 2014!
A lot has happened in the last 2 months!!! Alana started walking . . . . she started at 9.5 months giving a few steps then falling, then we went on a mini vacation to Curacao, where she turned 10 months, and right there at the airport, she decided it was time to fly, and has been unstoppable ever since.
Jorge has been talking so much better, his eating is almost perfect, and we discovered he has astigmatism, so he got glasses. He is very excited about them. We also found out he has a droopy eye, so at some point he will get that fixed.
We celebrated Alana's first Christmas, and it was amazing, The kids has so much fun. Jorge asked Santa to bring him an entire store almost, but he is a kid that loves to play, so Santa brought him every single item on his list.
We went to Orlando for New Years. Both my kids danced the night away, they got on the Dj stand and performed for the entire party, it was amazing to see Jorge doing so well, and for Alana to follow him, they were just the cutest thing ever.
Now we are preparing ourselves for Alana's first birthday. Not quite sure what we will do, but her outfit is ready . . . . cannot wait for this day!!!!
