any suggestions?

Today is May 26th. I am supposed to return to work on June 23rd. I am seriously thinking of going AWOL. Who wants to go back to work after spending time at home with their 2 little babies?? I sure don't. I like staying home because then I see everything my daughters do instead of hearing about it or getting a phone call. Juliana is slowly learning more words and she's even devoloped an evil laugh. It's the funniest thing when she's waking up and "talking" to herself and then I hear "AH AH AH AHHHH". She sounds like The Count from Sesame Street. My baby baby, Alisia, is staying up longer now during the day and sleeping longer through the night (thank God!). I can't believe that 8 weeks ago she only weighed 5 lbs 11 ounces. She is really growing fast.

I have about a month left. I am not counting down the days and I would like to know if there is a way to slow down time. If anybody out there has any suggestions, please let me know.

P.S. The only way I'd be able to stay home is if I won the lottery and I am yet to buy a ticket.

Where's Alisia?

and an update...finally!

Time has gone by and my baby baby Alisia is now close to 7 weeks. For her one month appointment she had gained enough weight to keep her doctor happy! On May 4th she weighed 7.8lbs. Almost what Juliana weighed at birth. It's crazy to look at her and see her so tiny and then remember how small she was at birth. She is staying up for longer periods of time now. She even smiles every so often, but only for her dad. She loves to take baths and has quite the appetite. I love being at home with her and Juliana. I wish I could afford to stay home with them.

Juliana's personality is really shining through. She is such a funny girl I think she gets her sense of humor from me! She has also developed an attitude, and if you ask Robert he will say that's from me too. She tends to become jealous at times, but I've noticed it's when she's tired or hungry. She needs instant gratification. Juliana gets angry now. And when she is you know it. She throws herself back, but she is smart about it because she will only do it if the landing is soft or someone is there to catch her. Terrible twos? She just turned one!!!!

Bobby is finishing up his 3rd grade year at Woodland. He got 3 A's and 3 B's on his last report card. He has stayed pretty consistent all year long. He turned 9 on last week and we took him to Wisconsin Dells. Since so much has changed we figured we had to something really special for him. The only thing he asked is if we go back to the Dells, he would like to bring a friend next time.

Life in the Garcia household remains hectic! Especially when Angie is here. Being a mother is a thankless job, but I know that in the end, if I do it right, it will pay off.

I will post pictures soon. I know that's all you people want. :)
