We know, we know...it's been months since we've posted a new entry. Here are some pictures of our new one's blessing day. We tried to keep the event small. We figured since it took place on the Fourth of July weekend most people had plans anyway. Her dress was made from Marcela's wedding dress. Our seamstress told us that there is still enough fabric to make one more blessingdress or two boy outfits. So...if we have one more girl or two boys you'll know why.
Today we were able to spend the whole day together as a family. With Jeff in school this doesn't happen too often. After a day full of errands we were near a dollar theater and thought we'd check to see if there was a movie we could take our girls to see. Well, one's a baby so...
as long as she could sleep she'd be fine. We noticed that Rio was playing and figured Sofía would enjoy it. When we asked for the tickets the employee told us that it was in 3D and so it would cost more. Now, this is going to sound like we're cheapskates but we didn't want to spend the extra few dollars for the movie. It doesn't help that we're just not into the whole 3D frenzy that Hollywood is trying to convince us to love.
Here is where the cool part comes in. As we were walking away an older gentleman comes up to us. He gently puts his hand on Jeff's shoulder and asks if we'd like to see the movie. His wife was standing just off to the side with a grin on her face. They wanted to buy our family tickets so we could see the movie. We politely declined explaining that we were just not interested in 3D movies. They understood and we parted ways. Their nice gesture definitely made our day. How nice to have complete strangers take notice of us and offer to pay for our tickets. I thought they were just coming over to comment on how cute our baby is. Speaking of...enjoy the pictures.
This little girl smiles SO much. She must get it from her dad. Seriously, she always wakes up with a smile on her face and a giggle that comes after.
Beautiful girl.
We hope they grow up to be the very best of friends. I think they're off to a good start.
No longer a baby...she's three years old now.
