Easter and other spring pics






Ok, here's an update of Sofia. For Easter we got up very very early to go the sunrise service at the lobo stadium (calvary church). Poor Sofia we had to wake her up to go, she did really good in the service. It did get chilly though because the wind picked up; but it was very nice service. The Harlem Choir was there and they have amazing voices! We were also happy to be able to take a friend of ours from work with us. We had lunch with my parents; Sofia played outside alot. (by the way the little purple dress my mom made it for her). cute ha. Anyways, after lunch we went to the park and it was very full; so we stayed in the soccer field and Sofia ran around, got herself pretty tired.
The weather here has been great! can't complain, though we do have the crazy spring winds every once in a while. Sofia has enjoyed being outside, going to the zoo, aquarium and botanical gardens (we're supposed to go today and check out all the tulips and other flowers that are out right now). That's it for now.

Zoo trip with the grandparents






Yesterday we went to the zoo with my parents, it was such a nice day; high 60s maybe 70. My dad took the day off from work; for those of you who don't know he had his citizenship interview yesterday and thank God it went well! So, in the afternoon we went to the zoo, Sofia enjoyed it; she's always is trying to get in with the animals, she chased the geese around; and we enjoyed watching the polar bears swim and play. It was a nice day. Also the other day we took her to the park, she ran around for a long time, then she had her first ice cream cone, and of course loved it! it was really funny to watch her trying to lick the cone; she had it figured out in the end. It feels like spring right now, but like always, there will be one more freeze, of course everything is starting to bud, and the daffodils are out and the tulips are coming out. It is so nice to see the flowers out, so, I hope there is no more freezing cold weather coming this way.

Random pics of Sofia





A couple of weeks ago a friend and i went walking by the ditch off alameda and there's a lot of homes with much bigger yards and go figure someone had 2 camels in the backyard ? random i know, it was so big! Sofia wanted to kiss it, and it go close enough too! The other pic is of Sofia having her first taste of jello, and as you can see she did not like it ;-( oh, well. She stills loves being outside most of the day, she drags the little horse all over the yard and chases lulu with it; it's too small for her now, so she rocks herself too hard and falls head first or backwards. but she does love the horsey. ;-)

Sofia and Mushu





So, our ferret mushu is no longer with us. We have given him to our good friend Trish who loves him!! he's taking a BIG trip, to Alaska. Sofia had fun with him, mushu would run away from her, but Sofia could manage to pick him up. They're funny.
On other news, Sofia went to the aquarium this past week. We went with a friend, she loved it!! she wanted to get in with the sting rays, and she walked into the glass of the big fish tank. She walked the entire time, so she was tired after that trip.
We also visited friends this week, Sofia and Kyra love playing together, mostly they love drinking each other's juice.
Yesterday we went on a small walk by the Rio Grande with some friends. The weather has been so nice!
