Baby 5’s Gender Reveal

God is so good. I’m so thankful to have been able to honor and celebrate Baby Soto Cinco with a very special event getting to know this little person hiding inside of me a little better. 😉 Thankful that baby and I are healthy and have not had any issues or complications with the pregnancy.… Continue Reading

Christmas 2014

12 weeks late. But the images bring the memories right back. My gifts. Christmas Eve mass was interesting. But the point is we participated in the most important part of Christmas and the reason for it all! And, we survived!!! My beautiful girls!!

Finding Our Rhythm

It’s been a process. A loooong process of trial and error. And just when we got into a groove, another baby was born and our rhythm would change. And then we would find it again. And another baby. And another. And so it has been for the past 4 years or so. But ever since… Continue Reading

Catching My Breath

When I was counting the number of months it had been since the last time I sat down to document, think back and preview some snapshots of our life, I could hardly believe it was 4 months. Crazy.  A lot can happen when you’re not paying attention to the passing time. But then, when I… Continue Reading

Well, we’re back. And while I’m sure it will take a good part of the week to get bags unpacked, laundry sorted & washed, babies back on napping schedules and lots of motivation to get back in the routine of lessons and dinner making, I wanted to post this while the emotions were still so… Continue Reading

The days are passing quickly and the 1st month of Fall has already come and gone. But I wanted to capture you at this fun and fleeting stage, baby girl because soon you will be walking and talking. You are an independent little soul, and content so long as you can explore or be in… Continue Reading

On the Eve of Fall

Some more highlights of our summer via my iphone… Mimi bought you 4 the cutest hand-made T’s and onesies from the OC Swapmeet for our fun day of BBQing, slip ‘n’ sliding and fireworks with friends and family. Your daddy and I made a goal to take more outings as a family and experience new… Continue Reading

Summering

Just reminiscing about one of the highlights of our summer… Gosh, I love her so much! The inspiration for coming together….from the beaches of Espana to California. She was Genevieve’s maid servant bringing as much water as she beckoned for 😉 I miss you Tia!!! But we had such a good time, didn’t we? This… Continue Reading

The here and now of homeschooling

 This past week was filled with teaching moments. Sure, Sweet G was taught that grabbing toys from her siblings would result in time-out after time-out. Alizea was taught that there are 6 cases in Latin Grammar and Soren was taught that despite his fight, he will still take a nap. But the lessons this week,… Continue Reading
