A Blessed Day

We had a GREAT weekend. But it was especially special for Matthew. He made his First Reconciliation on Saturday and then Sunday his First Communion. We were all very excited, happy and proud of Matthew. We can't wait to join him, but for now we will continue to cross our arms during communion and receive a blessing. We really enjoyed getting all dressed up but we were ready to pull off our ties and tights (Adri). Friday was another great day! Since we didn't get to close on our new house, we went to Chuck E Cheese to finally celebrate Zach's birthday dinner. That was waaaay fun!! A quick update on Ian. He is growing like a weed! He was already over 10 lbs and had grown an inch at his first dr. appointment. It's hard to believe that he's already been with us for a month. We've been waiting for him to start doing some fun things, since all he does is sleep. Well, on Sunday, before we started getting ready for Matt's day, he smiled for the first time! He's' smiled before, but only in his sleep so doesn't really count. We think it was his little way of letting his big brother know he loves him and was happy for him. And finally one last update... no progress on Adri's potty training. Any tips out there would be helpful... Mom's not quite sure how to train a girl. Hee hee. Hope you enjoy the video of Matt's performance at the end of mass and the slideshow of some of the fun days last week! Press pause on the playlist so you can hear the video. Time for bed!!! Love you all!!

Rookie Debut

Alex Da Hook

The moment we have all been waiting for is almost here. On Saturday, April 4th Alex will finally take on the field in his first baseball game. Needless to say, he is waaaay excited. He was excited just to get his jersey and cap. If he hadn't of gotten it dirty with his dinner, he may never have taken it off. In fact, the Hooks play twice on Saturday!! How lucky are we?? Here are a couple of pics of Alex "lookin G" as he put it. (Wonder where he got that from). We will let you know how it all goes on Saturday and include some video.

A quick update on Ian. He is doing great and is really adjusting to being a Gonzales. He is already used to our yelling and screaming, He sleeps right through it. It's hard to believe he's a week old already. Seems like we just brought him home. He's our little piglet... he's ALWAYS eating. He is a little boring though, 'cause all he does is eat, sleep and poop. We can't wait till he starts doing some fun stuff. We love him sooo much!!! We're glad to have him in our lives. Thank you God for our Baby Brother!!! Talk to ya'll soon!!!
