Look who's smiling!

I LOVE THIS BOY He's 6 weeks today. Time flies even faster now. I am grateful for every moment I have with him. When he looks at me with his big grin and those sparkly eyes, I know that there is nothing better than the way I feel at that instant. It is amazing. THIS is what it's all about.

My baby- almost one month

It's hard to believe that in just two more days my little baby Samuel will be one month old. It has been wonderful having him with us in our home. Just today he SMILED at me for the very first time. I was looking at him with the same type of face he likes to make, eyes wide open and mouth puckered into an o. Then all of a sudden he smiled at me! :) I LOVE my baby. It was so funny. I will try to get it on video soon (if I'm lucky). Then you can all see his beautiful smile. Another thing that just happened a couple of days ago is his beautiful hair is falling off. So he looks a little silly with his balding spot on the top of his head. ha ha. Oh the joy of being a little baby and doing everything for the first time. It is so exciting to see him do new things every day. We'll see what other fun thing he'll do next.

Back to life, a new life

Hello again! We are now settled back in Rexburg, Idaho in our very nice new apartment in Hyde Park. Today is the first day of school for Roberto and the first day for me and Samuel home together. This is the beginning of a new chapter in our lives. It is crazy to think that months have passed and we are back in Idaho. Our time in Salt Lake was well spent. It was great to be there with so many things happening for our family. I was able to see my brother Daniel leave on a mission, the first to do so in our family. What a great experience that was. I am so proud of him. I also got to celebrate my father's 50th birthday with our family and friends. We threw a surprise party for him, it was great! And of course to top it all off, I was able to have my first baby right there with my family with me. My parents are so proud to be called grandparents now. I love them so much and am so grateful for their love and support. So now here I am, a mom. Whoa. It's crazy to think about it, but
