4 months!

We've had another wonderful month with Paloma. She continues to do very well although she seems to always have a bit of the daycare sniffles (which really doesn't bother her that much.) She's getting bigger, 17 lbs 6 oz and a little over 26 in at her 4 month doctors visit, and she's getting stronger spending more time on her tummy doing pushups!

Recently we returned to DC for Bianca's wedding and to visit Paloma's Padrinos (Godparents) Paul and Jehanna (pictured below) and their families.

To catch up a little, Paloma was baptized on September 18 and below we have a photo collage of the event. We were lucky enough to have both Grandmothers, Jehanna and her daughter Julie, Helen (Paul's wife), and other friends who were able to share the day with us! The day was extra-special because Trini's Mom had saved Trini's baptismal dress and gave it to Paloma to wear.

Back to our DC trip...Bianca and Dave had a beautiful ceremony followed by a reception filled with good food, dancing, and loads of...chocolate!!!

While we were off dancing the night away, Lucas and Isaac looked after Paloma...with the help of a babysitter of course! The boys and Paloma got along swimmingly and Paloma is looking forward to her next trip to DC in January.

Mother and daughter dressed in their favorite color...RED!!!!


For Thanksgiving we went north to Hanover to some of the best cooking we've had in quite some time. Martha and Roger are our "Hanover parents" and have always been so generous to us and we are thankful to have them in our lives!Here's Paloma with her "Hanover Grandmother"...Both she and Martha are very content!
On Thanksgiving Sunday we celebrated Gabriella's 1 year birthday with great fanfare (Travis' Goddaughter.) Sindy, Gabriella's mom loves holding Paloma. Gabriella was a princess on her birthday and Paloma got into the festive spirit and donned a party hat!
We leave you this time with a shot of Trini and Travis all dressed up followed by the wonderful expressions of our darling Paloma!

"I'll be back..."
