It's official....we are booked to go home for the holidays! After much debate, we finally decided that this Christmas is probably the best time for us to go home for various reasons. For one, this is one of the only times of year where Andrew can take more than 2 consecutive weeks. The next possible time would be next summer, and rather than going home then and going from one hot place to another, we thought we'd really enjoy the nice cold winter weather instead. And also, the biggest reason we didn't want to travel back home this Christmas...or at all for that matter.... is because we didn't want to endure a 25+ hr trip with 2 kids. But after discussing, we figured if we were going to make the trip at some point, it might be easier to travel with a 7 month old in Decemeber rather than with a 15 month old and 2 1/2 year old, which is how old the boys will be if we wait until next summer. Needless to say, I'm ecstatic and can hardly wait for our trip....although, I'm not sure how we are going to survive it....wish us luck. We've also started organizing a get-together with my mom's side of the family for New Years, so I'm really looking forward to that and having everyone get to meet the boys....one of my aunts and my uncle have never even met Evan. It's always a party when you get all the Robledo's together, so it should be lots of fun!! Hopefully, we'll also get a chance to meet up with some of our friends since we weren't able to last Christmas. We are going for 3 full weeks this year (Dec 14th - Jan 6th) instead of 2 weeks like last year, which didn't leave us much time for getting around to visit everyone. Andrew and I both absolutely love Christmas and spending the holidays with our friends and family....so it was going to be a huge bummer if we would have decided not to go home. What a great Christmas present this year!!
Here are a few of our latest pictures...
Mom and her 2 most precious boys
Evan wants to try on a onesie that John and Kathi Swanson sent for Cooper, but didn't like it once he decided it was too "tight"...which is what he says all the time when his shoes don't go on easily or we have trouble getting a shirt over his big head :-)
Cooper tries to find his thumb to suck on
Cooper is starting to enjoy his playgym more each day....especially after his long afternoon nap. He is also smiling alot more lately, but I've yet to catch him on camera.
And a late Happy 4th of July from Evan and I!!! Cooper was napping and Dad was taking the picture, so hopefully we'll get a family picture soon! We still don't have one of the 4 of us and Cooper is already 2 months old!
