What we've been up to

The answer is a little of everything! I have been a negligent blogger since the cruise mostly because we came back and had to jump back into normal life full force. This is probably the busiest February we've had! Plus I have a renewed inspiration to spend time with the children when I have a few free moments, so the blog fell to the back burner.

Mariana had a robotics competition in San Antonio. Her team didn't do as well as they would have liked, but I think they learned some good lessons!
Stephen had his First Reconciliation retreat and then his actual sacrament. We are so happy for him! Now, on to first communion prep.
 Allia also had her confirmation retreat
And Mariana and Austin squeezed in a trip to see Black Panther in 4D together. The kids earn points for their chores to trade in for special rewards. Mariana had saved quite a lot of points, so she got an extra special reward!

When we came back from the trip we took the opportunity to move rooms/beds. Anastasia and Cecilia are now roommates and really enjoying each other. The boys now have a true boys' room to themselves!
 When Cecilia gets out of the house she is usually eager to visit Pawpaw and Manah!
We moved Cecilia out of her baby carseat and into a big kid seat. She is growing so fast!
She has us all cooing over her lately. She can now say almost all of our names and has also learned fist bumps and high fives which are totally adorable!
The oldest 3 also participated in the piano solo festival this past weekend. Amidst the busyness I think we failed to get a photo, but they all 3 earned superior ratings. So proud of them!
