It's the weekend!

And Thank GOD for that! I think I've had a constant stress headache for the last 3 days. Between bratty, out-of-control kids at work, worrying about my thesis, and all the day-to-day things, I've had enough. I officially need a vacation. Even if it's just a day away from Miami.

So like I said, I unofficially began my thesis. Partly because we don't officially start until the Fall, but because of budget cuts, the university is cutting "unnecessary"classes in the summer. Hence why I'm starting thesis in the Fall. Luckily, our professor and head of the department is a genuinely good person and chose to help the 5 thesis students over the summer so we're not bogged down with writing and painting when work starts again in August. *sigh* good times.

In other news, Sofia has finally mastered crawling. We weren't sure how long it was going to take her to get it, since she took weeks kind of sliding backwards on her tummy, and rock back and forth on all fours. But yes, she finally got it, so we're very happy for her and her newly discovered mobility!

These pics I took just two days ago while she was clowning around a bit. I'm entering one of them in a baby photo contest sponsored by Canon.

I think this one's the winner...what say you?

I also got some more teasers from my photographer, Melissa from Simply Captivating Productions, and I must say I'm floored... I really shouldn't be surprised since she always takes awesome pictures!

***See the rest on her blog****

Last Sunday, My sister, Mando, Heather & I took mom out to lunch at Maroush, one of our favorite restaurants. It was nice, but Sofie didn't really cooperate. Luckily she finds my sister (her madrina) very comfrortable and fell asleep in her arms after about 5 minutes of rocking her. We were all able to enjoy the remainder of our meal in peace!

The women of the family :)

Until next time... *waves*
