Halloween Party

Greetings from Sarah "Maverick" Palin, Waldo, and a Lucky Ladybug.

Watch out for those scary lobsters!!

Autumn in Chicago

Lucia and Mom spent a long weekend in Illinois. Both spent quality time with friends and family. Here are some photos that Papi John took on a walk to a nearby park.

Pumpkin Pals

Lucia and cousin Pierson got into the Halloween spirit.

Grandmas on a Train

Lucia's Grandma Roxana and Great Grandma Nona took the train up to Minneapolis and stayed for a week. We had a nice time relaxing around the house, doing a little shopping, eating delicious Ecuadorian food, and spending a beautiful fall day at the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum.

Check out Lucia's newly pierced ears.

Seven Months

Lucia is seven months old. Time is going by so quickly! Even she looks shocked!

Mom started back at work at the end of August. Lucia has started at a daycare two days a week, which at this point she is finally tolerating, but it was a long, tear-filled road. She is home with either Grandma Sue, Mom, or Dad on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. It's a great balance and we feel so fortunate to each have a day home with her.

Unfortunately related to daycare, Lucia got her first cold, fever, and ear infection this past month. The amoxicillin used to treat her ear infection gave her a rash, vomiting, and the runs. Tons of fun for all...

Along with the first cold, came first teeth! Here is Lucia showing off her pearly whites. Watch your fingers! She loves to bite.




More updating to come. Stay tuned!
