We are so exited you guys are here. Baby Dominic is Cam's (our) cousin, Rose's new baby. Baby Amir is my friend Anamaria's baby. We have been waiting for you guys. This prayer I learned is for you with all my heart...
Watch over these children o Lord
as their days increase.
Bless and guide them wherever they may be.
Keep them unspotted from the world.
Strengthen them when they stand,
comfort them when discouraged and sorrowful.
Raise them up if they fall; and in their hearts may thy peace
which passeth understanding
abide all the days of their life through Jesus Christ our Lord
Amen
Baby Amir
Baby Dominic
SAMANTHA
You are so big now, I cannot believe it. You and sister get along so well even though you guys fight like any other sibling. Samantha, you have been sleeping in your toddler bed since the beginning of January and have done so well. You sleep well trough the night and love your bed. You and sister share a bedroom now, dad and I love to put you guys to sleep. Alexandra still comes to our bed around 3/4 am every once in a while. You have not done that yet thankfully since our king size bed is getting too small. I can say that you speak quite well, your level of understanding is pretty good. I really think that those ear tubes helped you tremendously with your speech. We have started the potty training process, you are not very consistent but should keep trying w/o pushing of course. Like your sister and I you love to be outside, love the picture of you holding grass so tenderly with your little hands.
ALEXANDRA
Alexandra had her dance pictures taken March 5th. She looked so cute, I had fun playing beauty shop with her. 
Her actual recital is May first. Interestingly enough Alexandra likes little Gym more than dance. I am not sure if that is because there is a lot of repetition in the class and she gets bored, or what. I believe every week they practice the same two songs that they'll perform at the recital and after several months of the same thing she is done with that. The good thing is that she has agreed to continue.
Alexandra has so much energy, she really wears me out, Samantha too!, it was funny to read the children's book Olivia by Ian Falconer and see Alexandra in Olivia, I really thought the name should have been Alexandra!!! Everything Olivia does in the book is what Alexandra does in a way. I had to laugh! You change clothes ALL THE TIME, you put on so many different outfits in a day, I have lost count. You love to sing out LOUD, and you refuse to take naps. My little Olivia I love you so much!!! You really wear me out.
I have to mention that you have gotten a couple bad notes from school. The first one was because you wrote in someone elses paper, did not listen to your teacher and then you broke the crayons in half. The second bad note was today, you bit a classmate's finger!!! You get so excited that you can't control yourself. I truly believe you do things like this because you get SO excited and you don't know what to do with yourself. I know you are not a malicious kid, but just a busy one. I wasn't sure how to handle this, two notes in one month. But I prayed about it, talk to your dad and we decided to talk to you about this. No punishments this time, for one you are only 3, but dad and I have agreed to disciple you and sister to the best of our ability to show mercy and grace like our Father in heaven shows it to us. Anything we do we have to see with that filter, Grace and Mercy, wouldn't the world be different if each and one of us used the love mercy and grace filter? I bet it would. We would have to get stronger with you if this unacceptable behavior continues, but for now we need to guide you.
New Puppy
We have also adopt
ed a new puppy, his name is Gabe. He is also a Schnauzer and will be 3 in August. His previous owner could not take care of him as she has two other dogs and an elderly mother who she lives with and also has two dogs. Her son past away recently and the dog she decided to keep was her son's dog. I guess just a bad situation all together. Gabe has been treated very well, he is a really good nature dog that loves kids. I really got this dog for the girls but mainly Alexandra, she loves him and likes to take him for walks.
