HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MAMI!!!

What a great way to start the new year!!! One year wiser, one year more to fill with love! :)

Today was my mother's birthday and to celebrate, we went to the doctor's office for Alegria to receive her four-month shots. Cruel, I know! She did really well, though! She didn't cry at all! Probably because her Daddy's strong arms were enfolding her with so much love that she didn't care about the needles! Another thing that was awesome about today was that the doctor's office we went to had some cool themed patient rooms! The one we were in today had a country western theme and one of the decorative items in there was a huge boot. Of course, I HAD to get a picture of Alegria in it!!! :)

And here are a couple of pictures of Cameron and Alegria. :) She had NO idea what was coming! But like I said, she did splendidly! :)

January 1, 2009: HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

2008 sure was a most wonderful year!!! I can't believe it's already gone, though! There was so much that went on during 2008...it was a year of milestones and many changes:

Cameron graduated in May from Montana State University with a degree in Biochemistry and the very same day he commissioned into the Army as a Second Lieutenant.

Alegria was born on August 19 and has enriched every day of our lives since!

Cameron, Alegria and I moved from Bozeman, Montana to Dallas, Texas, where Alegria and I stayed with Lorelehi while Cameron went through a first phase of training at Fort Sill, Oklahoma.

Lastly, we found a nice home and have put an offer on it and are waiting for that to go through.

All in all, it's been a full year!

Here is Alegria today, sitting in my rocking chair and enjoying herself, and then taking her 19-week picture:
