Hello! Well what do you know... just like that another couple of months have flown by! Incredible that we are almost in the middle of April. The good news is that we've been busy having fun. First Rudy and I celebrated our 11th year of marriage! It seems unreal that it has been that long and that it has been a year since we went to Paris! Crazy I tell you. Then we had spring break. Rudy had to work unfortunately, but Sofia and I got to do a few fun things. First we went ice skating and she LOVED IT. She did pretty good for being her second time. By the 5th lap around the rink (and several falls) she was not holding onto anything. It was really really fun. The rest of spring break we went to the park, the mall and then Sofia spent some time with her beloved sitter Momo.
Next came Easter, which was great. Good company and good food, fantastic weather, what else can you ask for? The kids had a good time hunting for eggs and eating all that candy! Then on April 2nd, I became a US citizen! It was an exciting day. Rudy and Sofia were by my side during the ceremony and then we celebrated with a nice lunch. It was very special. Then this past Saturday, Rudy threw an "All American Barbecue" to celebrate. He went crazy decorating the house and grilled some awesome hamburgers and hot dogs. We were again blessed with magnificent weather and the kids enjoyed playing outside. We closed the evening with some apple pie and an a big announcement courtesy of Sofia. She happily told everyone that she is going to be a big sister! Yes, finally! It is still very early in my pregnancy but it looks like we'll be adding a new member to our little family come December. We are extremely happy.
Lastly, as is our tradition, we went to the Astros Opening Day Game! It was a lot of fun, we had a great time. And well, that is all for now. Here are some pictures!

Hola! Increible pero cierto, otros dos meses se han ido volando. De verdad me parece una locura que ya estemos a mitad de abril. Lo bueno es que la hemos pasado muy bien. Primero Rudy y yo celebramos otro aniversario de bodas, 11 años! Parece mentira que sean tantos y que ya hace un año que fuimos a Paris. Increible de verdad. Luego vinieron las vacaciones de primavera de la escuela, que este año coincidieron con semana santa. Rudy tuvo que trabajar desafortunadamente, pero Sofia y yo nos divertimos. Primero fuimos a patinar sobre hielo y a Sofia le fascinó. La verdad es que lo hizo muy bien para ser su segunda vez. Para la quinta vuelta a la pista (y varias caidas) ya lo hacía sin agarrarse de nada. Gozamos un puyero. El resto de la semana fuimos a el parque, a el centro comercial y luego Sofi paso unos dias con su adorada Momo (la señora que la cuidaba).
Luego vino el Domingo de Resurección o Pascuas como dicen aqui. La pasamos de lo mejor: en buena compañia, con comida rica y con un clima maravilloso. Que más se puede pedir? Los chamos se divirtieron mucho buscando los huevitos y comiendo dulces! Luego el 2 de abril me hice ciudadana americana, que tal?! Fue un día emocionante. Sofia y Rudy estuvieron a mi lado en la ceremonia y luego celebramos con un rico almuerzo. Fue muy especial. Este sabado pasado Rudy me hizo una parilla a la americana en la casa para celebrar. Se volvio loco decorando la casa y las hamburguesas y perros calientes le quedaron muy ricos. Cerramos la noche con broche de oro comiendo tarta de manzana y con la noticia, trasmitida por una feliz Sofia, de que por fin va a tener un hermanito (a)! Por fin! jajaja. Apenas tengo unas semanitas pero si parece que en diciembre nuestra familia tendrá otro miembro. Estamos muy felices!
Y por ultimo, como es nuestra tradición, fuimos a el primer juego de la temporada de los Astros! Nos divertimos mucho. Y bueno, eso es todo por ahora! Aqui van las fotos:
