Sophie and Sarah's 1st Communion

Sarah asked me to be her Madrina and of course I said yea. I was a little worried I would be way too big but Karla had a back up plan just in case. We all went to the mass then back to the Alfaro's for a family party. We had a great time! I am so proud of both of my nieces. They are growing up so fast. Then came the solar eclipse! I forgot how superstitious my family is. Needless to say I was inside with red on and a safety pin on my belly. It was pretty hilarious.

Sophia is a TEEN!

We woke up early and headed to Los Alamitos as Karla's brother in law Jorge was hosting a birthday party for Sophia. It's her birthday today and she turns 13! I can't believe she is a teenager. She looked so cute with her flower in her hair. She is still like a big kid. She likes to play with the little ones toys but she is starting to develop into a young lady. She is a sweet as can be always helpful with her siblings. She always listens to me and is very attentive when I chat with her. She gets straight A's in school and is a star at the piano. She is not only smart and musically gifted she is also a great athlete. She plays volleyball and soccer and although I have not seen her play because of my work schedule Karla tells me she rocks! I always pray that my nieces and nephews grow up to be good people filled with blessings. I wish this for my Sophie! Happy 13th birthday Sophia..I love you!
