Well..........It's a new life!

Let's just start out by saying that the pictures don't start to give them any justice.  They are very gorgeous and very small.  Everything went like clockwork.  We are feeling the gamet of emotions.  I (Nate) went to the bathroom after we got back and just balled.  We already know each one's personality(in part).  Each one has happy moments but each has had sad moments.  The power struggle has already begun with the boys.  They are EXTREMELY active.  The girls are absolutely precious.  Erika (3) is suppose to be potty trained but the wet spot on my jeans says different!
Alex is definitely the leader and just bounces off the walls.  He seems very intelligent.  Sebastian mimics his brother and is very affectionate.  Poor Luisa is having a rough go of it.  She has been weepy all day and hardly ate anything at lunch.  On the other hand she gives big besos(kisses) and she has the prettiest smile.

Great bonding has already happened.  Within 30 minutes of us being in the B&B they were already yelling Papi and Mami.  My heart is bursting!  We played in the play ground and just had a whale of a time. 

It is siesta time.  More blogging to come.  I am exhausted after just a few hours of this gig.  I totally have a new appreciation for all the parents out there doing it 24/7!!!

You guys have been on my mind today! We've been praying for you. Thanks for keeping us posted in the midst of your busy day! I can't wait to see pictures, I'm sure they're gorgeous! You'll continue to be in my prayers. Enjoy yourselves, and sleep as much as you can!

Take care,

Good to hear everything went well this morning. So Exciting!!!
Kids are really pretty good at bouncing back, and with all the fun, loving personalities of you two, I really believe it won't take them long to warm up and just fall in love with you guys.
As you are problably finding out, it is good to rest when they rest. (Little ones are great to cuddle with when you're resting.)
Praying that the Lord will continue to give His angels charge over you, and will keep you in all His ways. Enjoy!!
Blessings!
Lila

Hi Sis and what's your name-you have been so heavy on my mind today and we know that you are loving every minute of this! Just enjoy every minute because in the flash of an eye they will be grown up.
Can't wait to go shopping for all of them! And am so glad we're part of the family. Love you both, Uncle Marion and Aunt Terri
