Taco

Matthew is constantly saying, "taco" when Moises gives him something. Actually, he's really trying to say "thank you," but it sounds more like ta-co. It is soooo cute. He even said thank you when Moises went to put him down for a nap today! What kid does that?!! We had a good week away in Michigan with Harmony and Briant. However, Amelie is now on antibiotics for an ear and sinus infection and Moises is not feeling great either. Pictures to come. We were going to celebrate New Year's Eve with Moises family, but ended up staying home so the kids could get to bed since Amelie is sick. Happy New Year to you all!

Christmas with the Schulz

Busy little lady

Amelie has been working hard at school taking tests and practicing for her "winter assembly" this Thursday. She loves to sit and do her homework next to daddy and keep him company if he is working at home (see picture below). At church, she just performed her verse and song in the Christmas program. I also saw her busy reading the Bible to her stuffed animals all lined up on her bed on a Sunday afternoon. Maybe she'll make a great Sunday school teacher one of theses days :)

St. Nicholas Ball

One of the partners that Moises works with invited us to the St. Nicholas Ball again this year. It is a fund raising event for Catholic Charities (which is Moises' client). They had 1,300 people attend and an incredible live band.

Gabe's birthday

Amelie's friend, Gabe, had super hero dress up party for his birthday. Amelie dressed up as Spider Girl (homemade costume).

Daddy and the kids

Matthew's therapy

You can see in this video how excited Matthew gets when things light up and flash quickly. This is very typical with kids seeking sensory input.
