This morning at work, two pregnant teachers announced they were having boys, they started talking about how boy's aren't really yours. That when they grow up and marry, they belong more to the wife's family than to their own. I started to cry... I thought my Kid was only mine, mine for ever and ever...
eating him over and over... everytime I want, anytime I want. why will he go away?

missing the ZZZZ's
sleeping is now getting harder and harder by the days.
It's the kid's new desire to start crying and screaming and kicking in the middle of the night for MY Pillow. Yes folks, M Y pillow. so this is how it goes. We're all sleeping, or trying to, keeping in mind that we literally have a monkey in bed. Then all of a sudden a grumpy sleepy head starts to moan, and cry, then suddenly kick my head, and actually sits, scream (All of this his eyes are totally closed) and pushes my head away. OK, I give up. I'll move from the middle of the bed towards the end. Then he stops, sits again and throws himself on top of MY PILLOW. Afterwards, sweet dreams again, his desire was fulfilled. Sweet dreams; or at least we try.
This episode did not happened only last night, but the one before, and before, and before. I think is the 3rd one in a row.
I totally decided to lock him in his own room, in his own crib, with his own pillow (or maybe i'll let him borrow mine) for this weekend. But is 9:50pm, he is so beautifully playing with a microphone dad bought him. I'm about to eat him up, and hug him for the rest of the night; or maybe only until the episode comes up again.
Let's see what happens.

I M M I G R A T S
There was a show on CNN about immigrants in this country.
So far is talking about the fast growing population of inmigrants, and the money they have to spend in schools to teach English to these kids.
There is one person anti-inmigrants against all this. He said that he finds so upsetting on having to spend all this money, whereas the US can invest the money on their own Americans. He will do anything he can do to assure they go to their countries. I'm sorry, that we will go back to our countries.
Some other said that they are willing to help this kids so that they grow to be productive in the future, work and pay taxes to the government.
What an idiot, doesn't he know that this country is full of immigrants? then they interview a couple of illegal immigrants that got a tax id number and are extremely happy of paying taxes. they said that America has given them so many opportunities and his life and the ones of his family has gotten better, that paying taxes is the only contribution, is their way to say thanks. Unfortunately this W-7 form is nowhere listed or shown on the statistics as illegal immigrants paying taxes.
This same idiot is a very active 'activist'??? he called inmigration to report about 50 illegal immigrants that claim to make 25,000 a year and not paying taxes walking back and forward in his neighborhood. This were about 20 guys looking to make a living by home depot where lots of contractors will come and offer them to work for $50 to $80 per day. He organized a protest, "viva la migra" says everywhere. He called again claiming that illegal inmigrants where bothering his town.
My husband, an illegal immigrant, has been paying his taxes for the past 4 years using that w-7 form. Not to mention that he opened his own company and employes people who want to work and contribute to the welfare of this country. Pays taxes and helps the economy; Despite of his illegal status which me being an American Citizen, and us having an American baby can't help him change his status.
Then this people are saying that we are criminals/terrorists. Don't they know that every single one of those terrorists of 9/11 came into the US with a visa??? they were here LEGALLY. Jails in the United States are filled with American Citizens Criminals, not illegal immigrants. We are people that, like their ancestors, want better opportunities in life.
One of the people I resent the most is Arnold Swacheneger. He is a legal immigrant. He came when he was 17 years old, but because of his physical he got all this opportunities. Now he is striking against immigrants? Doesn't he remember he is an immigrant himself?
Doesn't people know that we come here to work, to live, to contribute to the country not only by paying taxes, but by helping the economy, the working world, culture, and everything else? There are thousands of immigrants that work on farms making less than $2 hourly. no benefits, no insurance, nothing. Kind of jobs that a legal person, by no means, will accept. However, ever since they have been striking so much, farmers have been affected. Their products are going bad because they haven't been able to employ enough illegals to pick their fruits. Oh so now immigrants are needed?
A very controversial theme. I love this country, I pay my taxes, I pay interests for those loans I have, I pay property taxes and every kind of taxes there are to pay. My illegal husband pays taxes too. His company pays taxes and creates employment for 3 legal and 2 illegal, but those employments bring food to their families mouths. Please don't make our lives more difficult than it already is. We face so many difficulties daily. The fact that he hasn't been able to get legal. The fact that he doesn't have a social security closes so many doors. the fact that next year his driver's license will expire closes even more doors. will probably close my doors too, since he is the bread winner.
What are we going to do, if he will not be able to drive??? He hasn't been able to see his first 10 year old son who lives in his country for about 10 years now? He goes to sleep every night of our nights dreaming about the day he will be able to hug Kevin.
I truly hope and wish that the immigration laws will strike in our favor.

Happy 4th of July.
This cute little thing is just tooo cute. adorable I shall say. We celebrated his first birthday at the park. All he did was to clap his hands and make us all clap and say 'braavoo' to him the whole afternoon. He was stupendously happy, and excited, as if he knew he was the cause of our celebration.
On the 4th we went to the pools at CB Smith park. it was so fun, the kid was having the fun of his life, then slept like an angel.
At night we went walking down the street to see the fireworks. it was beautiful. At first he was a little scared, he intended to cry, but we clapped, then he realized it was supposed to be fun... so he had fun watching them, clapped every so often and laughed. Cute things happens...

He turned 1
Wow, I can't believe how time flies... My baby turned one yesterday... has it really been 1 year?
Have to tell you, this is the best year of my life. I met the most wonderful person I could ever met, he is the most amazing little being, lovable in every single part of his skin, he is just espectacular. The love I feel can't even being translated into words. I thought I knew what love was, but until I had him, I realized that I knew nothing, and it gets better every day.
HERE, MIS DOS AMORES:
The invitation to his 1st Birthday

Trip to Colombia
We went to Colombia for about 25 days.
My baby was incredibly happy, although he got sick the first five days, afterwards he was like home.. even better.
you know the family, the neighbors, the walking and lots of time outside home... he loved it. He loved the trips to Piendamo, Vijes & La Cumbre where different members of our family have ranchos or vacation homes outside of the city. It was a wonderful experience where he can interact with lots and lots of cousins who wanted to play with the baby. he got to ride on horse, played with chicken, hens, you know farm animals. I am very happy that he got to enjoy all this wonderful experience.
Right after we got back, there was Memorial weekend. My husband and my parents had prepared camping weekend. All the Aragon family and all of us went... it was a total of 20 people including kids. 5 camping tents, lots of food, beach, BBQ, sancocho, and of course, mosquitos... but it was fun. Key west is always fun and beautiful.
Now I get to enjoy my beautiful house. My husband changed the carpet for wood floors while I was in colombia, so to my surprise it gave it a totally different, refreshing look. it's just beautiful, we are really happy here, the baby enjoys his room, since there is only his crib and toys to play... looks more like a play room. Also, since we still don't have a living room, he has all that space to himself. he runs, walks, crawls all around the house... and he is trying to jump, funny thing.

@ 9months 3weeks... An official Walker
Today April 11th, my baby is officially walking... Yes, Believe it!
At his 9months 3 weeks, he is officially a Walker!!!
It all started out about two and half weeks ago, when he maybe gave his very first three little steps, and then boom... to the floor. then maybe four and then boom... floor. It's being like that, a matter of practicing; My husband says that he drinks, and the baby is the one getting all drunk. lol
Today though, he is walking 10 long steps, still a little crucket, but walking. He actually came out of the room walking, walked across the living room all by himself. Walked out of the kitchen as well... oh my gosh Am I excited.... He is the most wonderful gift from god, I love him soo much, it feels as if my heart is about to pump out
What a wonderful feeling!

FRIENDSHIP
Friendship isn't always easily described. The Eskimos, they say, have a hundred different words for snow. Unfortunately, the English language isn't quite as innovative, though it has vast opportunities to differentiate meaning. Certainly, Love is one of those opportunities. And so, too, is Friendship.
Instead of different words, however, we're stuck with simple adjectives. Close friend. Best friend. Childhood friend. Intimate friend. Trusted friend. Beloved friend. But whether you use adjectives or different words, few could deny the nearly infinite meaning in such a simple word.
Friends are special people. We can't pick our family, and we're sorely limited in the number of them at any rate. Society and mores (and often our own conscience) dictate we select a single mate. But our friends can be as diverse and infinite as the adjectives we choose. Our friends, in a very real sense, reflect the choices we make in life.
AUTHOR
Friendship...
friend·ship ( P ) Pronunciation Key (frndshp)n.
The quality or condition of being friends.
A friendly relationship: formed many new friendships over the summer.
Friendliness; good will: a policy of friendship toward other nations.
am I friendless? perhaps, do I feel friendless? what a difficult state, a psychological state... solitude? not quite. No, Not solitude, not with my eternal companion, who decided to come into my life on June 22, 2005... but what about all of those who said to be my friends? or that I probably labeled them as my friends? are they alive? do they know that I am alive?
Am I supposed to call or to drop a note to each and every one of them to let them know that I am here? that I exist?
I don't know if I am being fair, or maybe too unfair... with whom though? with myself? with my "friends"? just because I got tired of being the only one calling, the one contacting them... then if I don't call, if I don't say hi, I don't here from anyone, i feel friendless.
I guess no one cares, why should I?

My Birthday
Life's tough
Hey, I'm back... I finally discovered that little button that will let me edit my space.. i'm so happy.
anyways, going through difficult times with our new home... Hopefully this month everything will get resolve, also... Economy is not so good, but anyways, I had the best Birthday ever. My husband started out with a wonderful breakfast. Out to Olive gardens for lunch hosted by our dear family friend Jhon F, then to the beauty salon for a complete 'make over', and finally end the night at the Cheesecake Factory... it was a wonderful day, Especially because i was with the best company ever... mi gordis & my husband.
Anyways, it was a wonderful day, also because I received phone calls from all my family in Colombia... it was so special to hear the phone ringing and then talk to mi abuelita Fanny, or mi tia Edith, mi tia Cristina... then also add my family here: mom, dad, tati, my brother didn't call me... he stoped by (so nice).
But to my surprise, it ended up in a surprise party that my husband held at my cousin's house... he told me we were going to go out with them, the baby was supposed to stay with 'la suegra', but when we walked in to the house everyone shouted "SURPRISE" it was really nice to see my love ones there celebrating MY BIRTHDAY.
Wonderful 28th birthday...
Thanks my love, thanks to my chubby baby, thanks to my friends and family and thanks to God for letting us enjoy all this wonderful stuff!!!

My family
Hello there,
if you are reading this blog is because you may be interested in what I have to write or what I think about... let me start by telling you about my family.
I have been married to 'mi negro' for 2 years, two loooong years... ha ha ha but they have been the most wonderful two years of my life. on those two years, we have cried, laugh, play, share, watch, feel... is just beautiful memories, unforgettable momentos.
Our treasure, our son, was born on June 22, 2006. His name is Gio Emmanuel, who has brought us soo much happiness. Making every feeling there is to feel even more intense than ever before.
Today, he is seven months old. He is learning to crawl and has by now, eight teeth. A week ago, I decided to finally stop nursing him... breastfeeding was getting a little too difficult after his last 4 teeth started to show up a month ago. He has, at 7 months, eight teeth total.
He is so intelligent, learning new things every day. Is just amazing the capability that his little mind has to absorve so much information. He is showing us soo much, especially about love... he is teaching us what pure love is about. I thought I knew all about love, but after he came along, I realize what real love means.
I truly dearly love you family... Emmanuel & Alvaro
