Summer of Guests

This summer has definitely been a full house!
Since March, we have had guests in and out of our home.My aunt from Honduras came back in the beginning of March and spent two months here. A majority of that ti me was spent over at my mom's house though but she stayed with us for about 3 weeks. She is always fun to have and makes great food!! Then only 2 weeks after my aunt went back home, her daughter, husband and son came.
Yesterday her husband went back, but my cousin will be staying until Aug 14 with me.
THEN! Robbie dad came for a few days to visit with us last week. It was nice seeing him, although it was brief. Robbie hasn't seen him since January. We will see him again on Thanksgiving. Also at the same time Robbie's dad came to visit.. his Aunt from Texas flew in as well! She is staying right now with Robbie's younger sister and next week, she will come stay with us for a few days! It has really been nice seeing everyone, since s ome of them we haven't seen in over 2 years.Here are a few highlights from this summer., along with some new belly pics of me at 23 weeks:)

Cloth Diapers




Well, I was online today and made an impulse purchase. I was reading celebrity mom blogs cause that's what I do...... lol and one that I follow pretty often is Constance Marie (you might know her as the mom from George Lopez Show) Anyway, she was raving over these cloth diapers she uses. I figured she's probably just raving about them because she is getting free cloth diapers from that company for life now..just by mentioning it but after like 4 hours of research and consumer reviews, I decided that it wouldn't hurt to buy like a 6 pack for now and if I end up not liking them then oh well.. disposable it is. You do save a ton of money with cloth and they have really come a long way as far as durability and even style. There are a lot of really pretty patterns and colors to choose from... not that I'm going by just that, but you got to admit that these diapers are pretty fashionable. They are little pricey up front but your really making a one time buy because the kind I got are one size and adjust as your baby grows all the way up to potty training time. Its win win, but we'll just have to see. I will let you know later when I actually use them what I think!!
