Mom is doing fine and should be home in a few days, C-sections require more time...Aubrey doesn't know it yet but she's the big cousin now...

We got together this morning for Aubrey's 8 month birthday. It was cold and windy, but she's a trooper and made it thru 400+ pictures and lots of walking.

On a somber note...My Tio Tonio SORIA, passed away yesterday in Penjamo...We're not sure of all the details but my Tia Carmen is enroute.

We all got together to celebrate Clara's birthday at El Ranchito in Huntington Park. We love getting together here, great food, lots of noise and everyone is so friendly. Aubrey got here first handmade corn tortila right off the skillet. It looks like she loved it too!

Blue Slide at the Park...

{ Aubrey on the slide... }

Went to the park with Aubrey to take a few pictures on the swings. I didn't realize that the swings were for big kids and did not have a saddle, I didn't want her to fall thru so we played on the slide. It was a bit windy so our stay was short, fun anyway!
