Carina's 2nd Birthday

Make a Wish Baby.

Another year has flown by and our little Carina is now 2 years old. On September 8,2008 I took her to Disney, she saw Beauty & The Beast, Disney Play House and The Little Mermaid Show. She also got to meet The Little Einsteins and Jojo & Goliath, and best of all Mickey Mouse. It was another hot summer day so we only stayed half a day. We have to say a BIG Thank You to Abuelita for giving us the tickets to go. That night we came home and sang her Happy Birthday and the next Saturday was her Birthday Party. On the 13th she had a few friends over from daycare and her cousin Tatiana slept over. She had a blast playing in the back yard and dancing. Thank you to all that were able to come. We thank God all the time for giving us such a happy, healthy, and smart little girl. Time is flying by, before I know it she will be off to school, snif, snif.... ;0( My little baby is not so little anymore, she is learning so fast, and she is very independent little lady.

Now that Carina's Birthday has passed Will is having his thyroid removed this Thursday. He is staying one night in the hospital, then he should be back to work in about 10days. I'll keep you posted on how it goes. Below I will post some pics of Carina's Birthday and a video of her and Tatiana.

Ta Ta For Now.....

How our family came to be...

It has now been almost 8 years since my husband and I met. Needless to say we never new our lives as 2 single people would become the beautiful family we have now. Will and I grew up in 2 very different places and very different times. I grew up here in FL, in Poinciana where all I pretty much feared was old people in golf carts; Will grew up in Patterson, NJ in a pretty tough neighborhood.

August 10,2001

I must say that I am very thankful to my friend Heidi that introduced us at the Salsa Heat classes. We began dating and before you knew we were together everyday. Our relationship grew stronger with our good and bad times and in March of 2004 Will bought our home and on April 10, 2004 he asked me to be his wife.

On March 5, 2005 we became Mr. & Mrs. William Gonzalez. On this day I became a wife and Stepmother to Will's beautiful daughter Je'Nay. At this time we were also the proud parents of our furry Baby boy Max, our shih-tzu puppy. Later that year in July we got our second furry baby Lexy, shih-tzu #2.

Christmas 2005

Mr. & Mrs. Gonzalez

By Christmas of 2005 we conceived our baby girl Carina and we were told that she would join us on September 11,2006. She had other plans on September 8, 2006 Carina Lucien Gonzalez was born at 1:42pm, weighing 8lbs 10.5oz, 20 inches long. God blessed us with a healthy and happy baby girl.

The has become my greatest love and joy in my life. Now I understand what my Mom meant when she tells me how much she loves me. The love I feel for her in unimaginable.... being her mom is the greatest blessing. She is a very beautiful, energetic, intelligent and Sassy little girl. Everyday she amazes us and everyone that meets her loves her. She is now 21 months old and learning more everyday.

These days we are just taking life on day at a time and enjoying our girls. Let's see what surprises life will bring us next.

Below are more pictures of the girls and us.
