"A portrait of my child, once a week, every week, in 2013."

Sofia: The snow is here and it is most definitely sticking!  Today we took you out to the Children's Farm in Orland Park, where we were quickly reminded that they were closed for the winter.  Luckily your Papa and I were able to get a few snaps in before we got yelled at.  How could they possibly kick out a little girl and her sled? ;)

    nothing better than a little girl & her sled!

    p.s. we're all good and safe here from the hurricane. the weather has been nuts though! how's the knitting coming along? are you going to try to make the easy baby blanket?

      so glad to hear - I was thinking of you all. knitting is still just a thought in my mind, i've been researching different fabrics and trying to figure out the "gear" i need, but i'm really hoping this is something i can knock out in the next few months. i'm staying hopeful x

    Oh! You guys still have snow. We have mud, although it was snowing a bit earlier. I don't know HOW they could kick her out! :)

    All that color against the snow makes for such a happy scene. Love it!

    This is so surreal. It's as hot as hot can be over in Malaysia. And the impending Chinese new year always holds the promise of a real scorcher!

bump : week 23

The sub-zero weather has kept us indoors, but it hasn't kept us from having the most amount of fun possible.  I've been enjoying hot cups of tea served with teaspoons of sugar and condensed milk, curling up with my favorite blanket and enjoying the tap-tap, nudge-nudge of the littlest De La Rosa.  Though I find myself playing catch up yet again (I'm 24 weeks!) I'm not complaining in the least bit.  I've had this little family of mine all to myself for a full four days with no work, no emails, no agenda and no pressure.   Ahhhhh... happy winter celebration, little baby. PS- did you know Erick finally launched his website ?  It's up, it's responsive, and it's gorgeous. I'm a proud muma bear.

"A portrait of my child, once a week, every week, in 2013." SOFIA:  You are my goofy child, my prankster.  You are the spitting image of your Papa, though every now and again I find some piece of myself in you and it makes me pause.  You are my lover, and you are my fighter.  You greet me in the morning with sweet, breathy kisses that only the mouth of a little girl can give.  I hope you will look back on this blog and find strength when you're feeling kicked-down, confidence when you're doubting your abilities, and daily reminders of how much love we have for you, for our home, for our marriage, for this little life we've made.  I am thankful for every day I get to be your mum, and you are certainly becoming the most beautiful soul I could have hoped to raise. This photo was a stand-out favorite, but you can find more from our day  here . TAKING PART IN THE 52 PORTRAIT SERIES  |  STARTED BY: CHE AND FIDEL
