Update

Paola - still wants to sleep with Mom and Dad. She wakes up at around 2 every morning to yell at us to give her water. She then has nightmares where she hits us for about an hour, then she falls asleep. In daylight she reverts to an adorable child.

Vanessa - is starting to become more precocious, even though she is still precious. She loves her Barbie dolls and has claimed all 30+ Barbie dolls as her own and will defend them with her life.

Tatiana - is still the most outgoing and smiley of the girls. She kicks the ball in soccer now and again and has imagined making several goals.

Sofia - is a midfielder for soccer, but really enjoys gymnastics. She is great at cartwheels and roundoffs. She just got approved for gifted classes but doesn't enjoy school as much as her sisters. She does have a lot more girlfriends.

Susana - is an excellent forward and goalie in soccer. Is on the swim team and enjoys that, but is concerned that she is the slowest swimmer - she is also the youngest swimmer by about one year. She loves her gifted class, all her classes are As. She is #2 in the elementary school in Accellerated Reader points - over 400 now.

Gabriella - is a great midfielder in soccer and fairly good swimmer. She has mostly As with one B each semester (usually in Science or Social Studies). She is in gifted but doesn't really talk about it. She has the most Accellerated Reader points in her school 500+. Her goal is to reach 600 points. No one in her school had ever reached 500 before, so she is in uncharted waters.

Melca - is having heavy constant contractions and the baby dropped. We still haven't decided on a name. I want Huracan and she wants Daniel James II. Is still watching baby boy until school ends. Is now the Primary President and is doing a great job. She runs to my office every day or so to notarize documents for me for free.

Dan - is busy with new office. Got released as 2nd counselor and called back as 2nd counselor with new Bishop. Last two weeks have been municipal court judge pro tem, district court judge pro tem three times, married 3 couples won my first contested preliminary hearing, done adoptions on 3 people divorces on 2 and counselled 2 others to try and reconcile before divorcing. Maybe will represent a guy who allegedly sexually abused his daughter and is facing life in prison.
