And almost a YEAR has gone by, wow, I'm horrible at this...

Well folks, this post is squeezing in right before a year from the last one! That has to be a record for blog laziness. If you ever read this, you might notice that I changed the layout a bit and added a few gadgets. Namely, the virtual fish to the right of this post. We have fish in the Chavez household but I'm sure the lifespan of the blog fish will far surpass ours at home! :)

Since December 22nd of last year, many things have happened to our little family:
1. Quinten Gabriel Chavez decided to arrive a day before his due date in the middle of the night, just like older brother, Garrett did. On Easter Sunday, April 12th, at 12:26am (what can I say? my kids are late night partiers) He was 7lbs 3 ozs and 18 inches long. Throughout his babydom thus far, he has kept with being smaller than Garrett was at this age. But what he lacks in physical size, he makes up for with an AWESOME personality. I've never seen a baby smile as much as my Quinten does.
2. Carlos got laid off at PSI in January and got to be a stay-at-home Daddy with Garrett! He started his job at BioNext in May while I was on maternity leave a week before I was to return to work. This job for him is such a blessing for our family. They are very flexible and understanding about family and value their employees very much!
3. At the beginning of August, after only being back to work after having Quinten for 2 months, I got laid off from my job. The economic downturn this year hit our family hard! But it was a blessing in disguise because now I am staying home with my little men and I love it!

Before I end this post, here are some pics of the Chavez boys.
