Maria 1 month old!

As I’m a little behind here I’m just now posting pictures of Maria one month old! She was one month August 31… Time goes way too fast and she grows too fast… on her last check up she was 10lbs 5oz/4,7kg.

I didn’t have a perfect picture of her on her one month birthday so I combined a few around the date. The big picture is from her real birth day, the others are from a couple of days before or after. 


Labour day was not long ago. I think spent it with good friends and had a good relaxing day!



David really likes to join us for school and he has his own activities. He is great with numbers and math but has a hard time with colors.



Rafael and I went on a well deserved date and had ice cream together. I forgot to take a picture of him and the ice cream but this is in the car after :-)








She fell asleep while I was showering. 



David was holding Maria’s foot in the beginning. ❤️❤️

Happy birthday Noah!! And diaper free David!

Before celebrating let’s post some more baby pictures :-)


Enjoying her bath!


Marlee showing off his new heir cut with a selfie :-)


Happy birthday my new 12 year old sweet hearted Noah!! Once again I did not take many pictures but Noah spent his birthday with friends. First in de Leon springs and then at home having a sleep over with another friend.

This little guy just finished wearing a diaper during the day!!! He has gone four days with no accidents. 👍






Beach days with friends

We are getting close to several birthday months and Noah is coming up first. One of his best friend’s birthday is close to his so they went to go go-carting for their birthdays.  As you can see Noah won, but it was a close race. 


And of course there are lots of baby pictures…




Back to school beach day with Blue Oak. Maria’s first beach day. I figured it would be a good first day with so many moms who wants to hold her and all the extra help. It was a great day! Unfortunately, I didn’t take many pictures but David had fun digging with one of his friends. 


Marlee with two of his best friends. They have all grown so much this year!!!


Gender reveal party for some of our friends who are having their baby in December. Another girl! We actually have two more friends who are pregnant :-) Glad that Maria will have some friends!




Lizzy, the cat no one ever gets to see!


The very good big brother. 


Birthday party at the beach!!

More baby and olive harvest

I’m sorry for all the baby pictures but she has so many adorable outfits and expressions :-)


Our sleep buddies ❤️❤️


Both David and Rafael are great helpers with Maria. 


Making pancakes with David. 


The other day the boys notices that some of the olives were starting to go bad so we had to quickly change our plans that day and start picking them. We have so many!! When we picked them last time, two years ago, they were almost all green but this year a lot of them have turned black so it will be interesting to see how they will taste. 















I really enjoy doing things, like harvesting olives, together as a family. It’s been really hard in the heat but also so much fun to work together and see the end result.
