About us

Ok so my cousin tagged me for this thing, I'm supposed to tell you 6 little known things about me. This blog, however is about the whole family, so I'll try to tell you things about all of us.

This is a difficult task because everyone who generally looks at this blog knows just about there is to know about us. But I will attempt to surprise you, here it goes:



1. Jean-Marc and I (Paula) are sorta gaming buffs. I grew up playing computer games, the role playing kind, these magical adventures. And until the kids showed up, I would spend hours on the computer and JM and I spent lots of time playing with our PS2.


2. Between Jean-Marc and I, we speak 5 languages: English, Portuguese, Spanish, French and Haitian Creole. The boys unfortunately don't have grandparents around to speak with them in any of our native languages and only speak English. They do understand a bit of Portuguese, and some Spanish.


3. We love to travel. With both of us being immigrants, we have a traveling itch. And even though finances don't always allow us to go far very often, we still manage to travel with the kids.


4. We both enjoy Sci-Fi. Jean-Marc really likes Japanese Anime, and I'm more into the Sci-Fi Fantasy realm.


The last two will be specifically about the boys:


5. Adrien Loves to eat. He'll eat practically anything. Even if he's just had a full meal, if he someone having something else, he'll want that.

6. This one is very well known but it's about Ricky. Ricardo LOVES his dinosaurs!!





Hope you enjoyed learning a little about us, if you didn't already know.

Alphabet Photos - A

Ok so I'm not very good at following directions. The directions of this has to do with poetry and funny named poetry kinds, you can see the full directions at Creative Karina if you want to actually follow the directions, I'm just going to the picture part.

A - Apple. Ricky is eating an apple flavored icepop. Makes his mouth and area around the mouth all green.

And of course, I can't ignore my own personal "A" and that's Adrien, here he is getting washed up in the sink.

Lobsterfest

Today we went to Lobsterfest in the city of San Pedro. We went 2 years ago, but Ricky didn't really have fun then. This time, I think both Ricky and Adrien had a lot of fun. Of Course I had a great time; I could have used some more lobster and so could Jean-Marc but it was great, and it was yummy. Ricky rode on some of the rides, and we shared our afternoon with friends!! Here are some pics. Ok just one picture, had some trouble with the pics so I just gave up, for now...

PhotoHunt #10 - Beautiful

Ok so it's been too long, and I missed last week's photohunt. But here's a new one. I know I have a theme going here, and I'm sorry if you're tired of seeing lots of children, but if you haven't noticed yet, this blog has a lot to do with children.

My beautiful photo shows how blessed we are with all the children in our lives.

Our friends Karlyn and Eugene baptized their baby last week (he's the baby being held on the left by his oldest cousin) and these were all the children present at the lunch afterwards. From left to right: Langston(on arms), Kalil, Heidi, Jax(on lap), Kali, Adrien(on lap), Bleu, Kadar(back), Kaden, Ricardo, Kanye.

PhotoHunt #9 - Colorful

This week's photohunt theme, with which I'm late again, by the way, is Colorful! What's more colorful than children?? This was taken at Adrien's 1st B-day party. He and his friend Avari have birthdays 6 weeks apart and they had a party together. Enjoy:

Photo Hunt #8 - Dark

I don't have many pictures about Dark that aren't obviously dark. But what I do have is Comic-Con. JM went to Comic-con last month and there was a lot of darkness there. Here's just one picture of the Dark Place.

Funny faces

I realize that most of my posts have been about my little man, while my baby boy has been left out a little. So I decided it's time to show a little of what Adrien is about. This past weekend, I dubbed him "busy body" and "chatterbox". Yes, my 14 month old, won't stop walking around and touching things, and climbing stairs and getting into anything he can. While he moves around "busy," he chatters away in baby gibberish without a care about being heard or not. His "words" have definite sounds too, yesterday when I picked him up from the sitters he sounded like he was speaking in Spanish, when I brought him home the "words" sounded different, definitely more English. But what most distinguishes Adrien, are his funny faces. Above are some of his funniest and below are a few of his most recent expressions, Enjoy:
