new baby, school and new words

I should have Easter pictures to post, but I don't...maybe my sister will have some. I was too busy hiding eggs one day or keeping the kids from fighting for the same egg. Story of my life these days. That's what in store for you - Ben and Jenny!! They had their baby last week. No worries, I think it'll take a year to get there, so enjoy the months ahead. Xavi is already saying he wants to visit Sarai to meet her brother. I shouldn't complain, as bad as the fights are the playing and giggling together is about 10 times better. Here is a picture fighting over Xavi's bike...below is a happy moment. Xavi has already informed me that we have to buy Carolina her own bike.

Here are some updates on the kids. First the school update, Xavi didn't get into Lab....oh well. Now Caro and Xavi can go to the same school next year, when she turns 2. It'll be nice for them to be together (same building and outdoor playground, different classrooms) and easy for me to do pick and drop off at one place - not to mention the lower cost and better schedule! We'll have to figure out schools but not until much later, I hope. Xavi can stay there another two years at least (before K) since he's just past the Sept 1 deadline. Maybe we can even move them at the same time??? We'll see.

Ms. Lola decided this was the week to start talking and boy did she fire it up. Below is a list of first words she started using this week. Kitty, waffle, mine, bobo, agua, jugo. Before that she had been saying no, wow, and uh-oh, which I'm not sure I would have counted as first words. I tried to record waffle because it's the cutest. I think there is too much background noise to hear it but I'll review all recordings later today.
