I have been really focusing on the girls these last few weeks. We are doing Mommy school almost every day and Amelia is really catching on to recognizing letters (S, E, O are her most consistent) and she loves our time together learning. Maya is learning animal sounds and identifying her nose, eyes, ears, etc. She is hit and miss with loving learning time, haha. Maya has also re-invigorated our love for books. Amelia went through a period where she was less interested. But Maya is obsessed now so we spend a lot of time reading together all three of us. I love this part of being a mom. And I am proud of myself for getting more consistent.
And just like me, whenever I improve one thing, other things fall off the map. This time it's the state of my apartment and the constant mess. Also my cooking has gone way downhill and I just don't have the motivation to do it. Thank goodness for Juan to pick up the slack when I go through the down slopes.
Speaking of Juan, he has started a new position with Dell in Accounting and it is looking to be a great position for him! He is coming home happy and really likes his managers and co-workers and I couldn't be happier for him. Juan is such a hard-worker, I love that he is enjoying his work.
And Juan and I, on our downtime, have been having Dawson's Creek marathons. Something I love about Juan is he has always watched all my girly dramas, even before we met! I remember when I first met him when I was 15, I was watching Days of Our Lives and Passions (soap operas, which I don't watch anymore mom, don't worry) and he was watching the same soaps! We are in the Pacey and Joey episodes and it's fun to hear him share things like he remembers his mom watching this part with him, or they definitely changed the song it was actually a different song playing in the background. He has a good memory! Or he has a secret obsession with Dawson's Creek, haha!
We have big things coming up in our near future. It is so exciting to go through changes together as our little family.
Amelia took these pictures, pretty good!
Maya's face is exactly how she felt about being forced to sit in the itchy dirt for these pictures.
But we are Texans now, we can't pass up a photo shoot with the Blue Bonnets.

Amelia does take good pictures of Maya! Too cute! I love the blue bonnets too. You are becoming quite the Texan. That is great that Juan watches your dramas with you. Tyler will watch them if he's working on his laptop and I turn them on but he doesn't quite get into them even though he sticks around to finish them. I'm sure he likes them more than I know. Can't wait for your upcoming big things!
It is so fun having school time during the day. I bet it is the best when they remember things they learn from day to day. I love Maya's little smirk in the pic leaning again the bed. Amelia is so good at taking pictures.
Dawson's is the best!! Sam acts like he doesn't like all those shows but he can definitely tell you a summary of all of those shows.
I love hearing what you are up to! How fun to do school, it has to be hard to teach with two! I too go through stages with cooking and cleaning. It gets hard to stay on top of it! But your girls are so lucky to have such an amazing mom!
