updating

I'm sorry i'm not posting that often, but without internet at home it gets difficult. I think I may go with that Verizon wireless for my laptop.
My Children are great. The kid will be 3 on the 22nd. We still haven't figure out when exactly to make a little get together, like a small pool party sort of. For sure it will be Thomas and Friends themed. He is talking in complete sentences, adding articles and working on his grammar; like the verbs tense. He is even monkier now, and is doing evil things to his little brother. He has earned a lot of times out because of that. But continues sweet and smart. Still loves his Thomas, I'm glad the videos come in both languages so he can watch them in Spanish. Oh, he is speaking a lot of english, I guess from the TV he watches (only about one hour a day). It's easier for him to say things in English, even though I only speak spanish to him. So i'm trying to put spanish videos and reading stories in spanish as well. He is liking reading a lot more than he used to. He knows all the alphabet letters and their sounds, Animals sounds, Numbers up to 20, shapes, and colors, both in English and spanish (mostly english)
I am also planing to put the usual Disney movies he watches in another language. I'm not sure which one yet... but I was thinkin either French or Italian. I think French is easier since most of those movies come in those three languages (English as Default, or if you choose Spanish or French). This way he'll have a third language in his vocabulary. I will make my best to learn the language as well, so that we can practice... that will be pretty cool.
The baby will be 10 months old on the 22nd. He is chubby, about 25 pounds now. He crawls and keeps smiling all the time. has five teeth in total. He is a lot slower on his body abilities but he is doing really good. I don't know how good is it to compare them, but I still do. At this age, the Kid was already walking. The baby started crawling a couple of weeks ago. He is also learning to move his hands with the rythm and lyrics to a couple of songs I sing to them constantly.
I promise to post a Video of them singing and giggling.
About Husband's father. Well the reunion at their house was really good. We got to meet his wife's family, they did a barbecue and a dinner for us and told us how happy they were that the family had expanded and to consider them as family too.
Two weeks after, my father in law planned a quick trip to NY to meet with his other son (Husband's brother), so husband when along. He was really happy because they got to spend time alone together... Imagine they drove up from Jacksonville to NY all by themselves about 12 to 14 hours back and forward. And they spent about 3 days over there with found son # 2. They said it was great.
My father in law is very very nice, he is sweet, smart, funny, well...I see in him the man I would like my husband to become (I hope that happens soon though). My suegra (father's wife) told me that he used to be the way Husband is right now... with a temper problem, but it has gotten better with time, patience, and a lot of work from her part. I just don't know how much of that patience i have left. We have had our marriage hanging from a hair string. But somehow try to make it work, I just know that this marriage thing is difficult... it's being 4 and half years now.
I will post pictures of the Kid's 3rd Birthday... c ya soon!!!
