A Wild Ride

So this weekend we went to a birthday party for my coworkers' 4 year old son Liam. The party was held at Victorian Gardens in Central park and it was a great time. It took a little time for Mateo to warm up to the crowds and chaos, but when finally did he didn't want to leave. Each time the ride came to an end he would cry and squirm and try to stay on until he was pried off and then taken on another ride where the whole thing would start again. He was completely filthy and tired by the time  we got home, but fun was had by all.

Mateo loved this car ride

Meet the Couch Potatoes

Well, not much to say here. Mateo was in a total Diego trance and I was watching the "Diego Saves the Baby Dolphin" episode for what seemed like the 60th time.

Bath Time Fun

This is just a regular evening at the Vielot-Gonzalez household. Bath time is lots of fun and he is super cute with his new frog towel.

Mother's Day

Well I felt like Mother's Day was nice, but uneventful. Nothing too special and then I was sitting in front of the computer with Mateo on my lap and thought to myself that I couldn't think of anything more special than to have him there on my lap peaceful and content.

Happy Mother's Day

Mateo takes a turn

Progress

So we moved into our new home about 10 days ago and we are settling in nicely. We are learning how to adjust to the new layout, the new location and the new neighbors (who have been incredibly friendly). On top of all this we have also had to manage new daycare arrangements for Mateo. Eddie's mom had surgery and requires 3 weeks to recover, so Mateo has had a mixture of emergency daycare in the City and Daddy daycare at home. It has been slightly stressful, but as you can see we have also managed to have a lot of fun.

Underwear Boy to the rescue!

Back in the Saddle

So I know it has been over a month since our last post and a lot has happened. Mateo is feeling much better he even got to march through his very first major snowfall, my dad is recovering nicely, we have closed on our new home and just recently we have welcomed Mateo's new friend Maddie into this wonderfully wacky world. I would say February and March have made up for what started out looking like a very rocky 2008. Now we are in go mode, trying to set everything up in the new place and finally get some more structure in our lives, but of course we are still having fun along the way.
