Back, by popular demand!
We're back by popular demand! I have had TWO, yes, TWO requests to update the blog. Shout out to Brian's grandma 
! Lots happening here in the Escandon house the past 4 months! I'll try to keep it simple and sweet.
! Lots happening here in the Escandon house the past 4 months! I'll try to keep it simple and sweet.- July 18th at 6:15pm I gave birth to a beautiful baby girl, Lucy Rose. She is a sweet baby who is adored by her big sister Clare. This photo was taken moments after Lucy's birth.
- We had our first successful homebirth, sure not to be the last (birth story to follow)!
- August 21st, 2008 Lucy was baptized.
- On June 20, 2008 (after a very long and nightmarish escrow period) we became homeowners! We just love our new home. Aside from the blazing heat that hits the west side of the house in the afternoon, the house is perfect for our family!
- In May we went on our first uber-vacation to Walt Disney World, complete with a vomiting child on the entire flight home! But here she is having a blast at Animal Kingdom... all decked out in her new hat that she owned for a mere hour and a half before loosing it.
- Paul is working, working away, working hard taking care of his family! He returns to teaching after the new year, possibly at a second school. There is also a possibility of a promotion of sorts. Its an entirely new department so everything is up in the air right now and we likely won't know until the end of year.
- As for me? I have a mom mobile! That's right. We joined the mini-van club! A couple weeks ago we got an awesome deal on a 2006 Dodge Grand Caravan (stock photo... ours is silver). I love driving around in it, Clare loves it too especially when the DVD player is on
. Lucy on the other hand, not so much! This child screams from the second she is placed in the car seat until she is taken out, nursed, and held. 
So, that's it in a nutshell. Busy, busy, busy... although I guess it isn't too exciting. Just your run of the mill family life!
