Hello Texas, fancy seeing you again . . .
So the Martinez clan is almost settled into our new home. The new address btw, is
2110 Campfield Parkway
Austin, TX 78745
Today the movers came and after leaving, we realized we have no idea where we left the screws to our dining room table. The table is now propped up against the bookshelves and hopefully, it will only stay that way for a small period of time.
Dinner, was therefore on our office furniture, complete with Adrian sitting on 3 of the 4 chairs during the eating time.
During dinner, Andres was acting quite fussy and Mom had the ingenious idea to give him a taste of water with a spoon. He was so excited at the few drops that entered his mouth that he proceeded to grab the spoon and put into his mouth on his own to suck off the new experience! Adrian then started spoon feeding him water and Andres would eagerly suck it all down. I then gave him water with a small cup and he showed great interest in it too. When he was full of water, he calmed down and appeared to be a drunken state - so calm and zen like and eyes glazed over. It was like he had discovered a delicious secret no one knew about!
I wish I could add a video from our new flip cam - but alas there has been a tech malfunction. Just use your imagination and enjoy!

Mother's Day 2011
This Mother's Day was especially beautiful because I now get to celebrate it with my newest love, Andres. These days, I've been able to spend so much time with him since I'm working from home - that I think I've developed more of an apprehension to return to work with him than I did with Adrian. It's probably because I didn't see how much fun they are during the day after their 3rd month.
Another wonderful Mother's Day present that I received was a meeting with Adrian's Montessori instructor. We learned that he is quite fluent in Spanish during school since he is in a Spanish immersion program. Whenever the teacher is around him trying to convey a concept to another classmate, and she gets stuck on coming up with a word to describe a letter sound, Adrian is always providing a word in either language - all while working on another "work". She finds him quite intelligent and polite little boy who shows an interest in the "big kids" work. She's constantly amazed at how quickly he grasps the letter sounds from both alphabets and the level of concentration in his assignments.
The pictures on this post show:
*The jar with the flowers was decorated by Adrian for Mother's Day - he is particularly proud of it.
*Adrian showing he does not want to be photographed with the balloon/Andres/me

I'm so blessed!
