100 Days to Go!

Well, we are well past the half way mark and only have 100 days to go. Tomorrow, Jennifer will be going in to the doctor for her glucose tolerance test, so send positive thoughts and prayers that all goes well. Little Abigail is now the size of an eggplant and measures 9.2 inches and is about 2 pounds in weight.

As we mentioned before, in preparation for the arrival of Abigail our dogs went through a two week boot camp to learn a few more manners. They both did very well, but were VERY glad to be back home with us. It took them about a week to recover from the trauma.



Last Friday, we took Ginger in to get fixed so the poor girl now has to wear an e-collar for the next ten days so she won't mess with her sutures. It's quite a pitiful sight. She's had a rough March, but Frodo has been keeping her company as she recovers.





This past weeked was a great time for both of us to spend some time with our families. Moises flew to his home town to visit his uncle, mom, dad & siblings. It had been a while since he had made the trip to the Valley and he was very happy to see everyone. He loves visiting with his neice and nephews and as you can tell they do too.

Jennifer's mom, mema and aunt Terri drove through Dallas this weekend so she got to spend some time with them. They went to dinner and she showed them all the work we've done on the house (and it's a lot!). It was great for her to see them; she wishes she could see them more often.

Home Sweet Home...

Well, we just made it back from the 2nd annual cruise. It was the first cruise with all the girls and their husbands and the last one with only one little one. A good time was had by all between the lounging by the pool, going to comedy shows and, of course, EATING! Each of us probably gained 10 pounds by the end of the trip as we seemed to eat almost every two hours. Little Abigail certainly enjoyed the smorgasbord of food and we seem to be having a hard time adjusting back to the old schedule of small snacks throughout the day.

We really enjoyed all the time we got to spend with Papa & BB and Chris & Ashley and Ryan & Alisha. They are each some of our favorite people in the world and we don't get to see them nearly enough, so it was very special to get to spend a full week seeing them daily. Of course, we LOVED spending extra special time with Little miss Ella Faith. Uncle Moises and JJ love that little girl and it seems that she really loves her Uncle Moises. He was one of her "go to" people on this trip and he loved every minute of it.

Throughout most of the trip we commented on what a difference a year makes. Last year Chia (Alisha) and Jennifer were both single women about to be married, Ella Faith was the only child on the horizon, and none of the son-in-laws got to join the cruise. This year Chia and Jennifer are both pregnant and married and all of the son-in-laws joined the trip. No beer on this trip for either one of those girls, but GiGi enjoyed! Here are pictures from last year to this year!

Abby girl also got her first pajamas from Aunt GiGi (Ashley) and Uncle Chris. We are so excited to dress her up in these and can't wait to have her looking like a princess every night before bed. Thank you GiGi and Chris!

We are so thankful that Papa and BB work so hard to bring all of us together once a year to spend quality time together in such a unique environment. We love them both very much and are blessed to be a part of the Petersen, Altman, Cain, Ledezma clan! Thanks you guys, we can't express our gratitude enough.

Much love,

Moises & Jennifer
