Cuántas Veces? / How Many Times?

¿Cuántas veces me han dicho...
... tienes que irte trabajar? Muchas
... eso lo viví yo? Bastante
... no te preocupes por las cosas que todo pasará? Innumerables veces
... has esperado con ansias una llamada para simplemente hablar? Indeterminadas veces
... te han insinuado qué nunca debistes haber abandonado tu empleo? Muchas
... has llorado por las situaciones? Perdí la cuenta
... has sentido deseos de gritar hasta cansarte? Muchisímas
... te has sentido sola? Bastante
... has pensado mudarte a otro país? Innumerables veces

¿Cómo logras lidiar con todo esto? Pienso en que Dios es grande y su fortaleza me ayudará a seguir adelante. Con Dios todo y sin él nada.

Annie

How many times i've been asked ...


... you have to go you to work? Many

... that I lived it? Enough

... do not worry about the things that all will pass? Innumerable times

... you have expected with anxieties a call just for talking? Indeterminate times

... have insinuated that you should've never abandoned your employment? Many

... you have cried by the situations? I lost the count

... you have felt desires to scream until it hurts? A lot

... have felt alone? Enough

... you have thought to move to another country? Innumerable times

How do you manage to fight with all this? I think about how God is big and his strengh will help me to continue. With God all and without him nothing.

Domingo, Lunes y Martes / Sunday, Monday and Tuesday

Domingo: Excelente día soleado, un cielo azul y una leve brisa. Todo lo necesario para disfrutar de una tarde de piscina. Sencillamente, un día sensacional en familia.

Lunes: Fue otro día maravilloso en la casa con la única diferencia de que no hubo piscina pero sí una limpieza masiva de ventanas (y aún faltan más). Al final del día estabamos extremadamente cansados pero valió la pena.

Martes: De vuelta a la rutina. Luego, del grandioso fin de semana el día fue maravilloso. Cuando las niñas salieron de clases fuimos a comer, luego hicimos algunas compras. Al llegar a nuestra casa los vecinitos estaban afuera corriendo bicicleta y allá fueron las niñas a divertirse y a quemar energías. Luego un gran baño, un poco de televisión, dibujar y a dormir. Quedaron rendidas.

Annie

PS: Tengo fotos disponibles pero no espacio para subirlas aún.


Sunday: Excellent sunny day, a blue sky and a light breeze. All that is needed to enjoy an afternoon at the pool. Simply, a sensational day in family.

Monday: It was another marvelous day in the house with the only difference there was no pool but a massive window cleaning (and they are still more). In the end of the day we were extremely tired but it was worth it.

Tuesday: Return to the routine. After the magnificent weekend, the day was marvelous. After school we went to eat and bought some groceries. When we got back home the neighbors kids were riding their bicycles so our girls played with them and burned some more energy. Then a great bath, a little television, drawing and to sleep. They were exhausted.

Annie

PS: I have photos but no space yet to post them.

Día de San Valentín / Valentine's Day 2012 Part 2

After the school activity I went shopping with my mom. We had a great time together. When Pablo was out of worked (he had no work during the afternoon) we went home and get everything for the girls.



Everything was ready so we went to picked them at school.


They were so happy and had a great time at their Valentine's party.


They were so happy when we opened the door and the saw the table with some gifts. And of course, the pose for pictures.





And we joined too




Family picture at home


Then, we exchanged our gifts. Each girl told me what they want to give to each other and let me tell you that I love it.


First, was my turn. I received a pink pale towel from Sofia and a comfy pillow from Paola, love it.



Daddy received a t-shirt from Paola and a blue towel from Sofia. He love his gifts.




Time for the girls. Each girl received a basket with bubbles, stickers, cheetah or zebra puffy plush, chocolates and a balloon.




And they exchanged a puffy plush dog and a hair bow.




Simple but practical gifts and we love it.


After the exchanged we went and bought chinesse food and enjoyed it at home.


It was a great and perfect Valentine's Day for us.


Ohh, I forgot that you want to know what Pablo gave to me, well check our gifts (another practical gift for us).




Yep, we had cell phones. Thanks honey!!!.


PS: Sorry, most pictures are blurry.
