Miss Independent

I love being an independent woman. Tonight my Tod had a hurting mouth from a root canal he got done on Thursday so I went to a Wisdom Course event more than an hour away with the 2 boys "all-by-myself," as Ian proudly likes to say about everything he does while he shakes his little head side-to-side. You think I was worried? Nope, not one bit. Things like that, having to do stuff on my own, doesn't faze me at all. I thrive on it. I just take care of business and move on. In fact, I'm looking forward to breakfast with the in-laws in the morning already and to church afterward. Life is pure fun. :-)

Cheaper By The Dozen!

Last night my parents became grandparents for the 12th time! Yes, the 12th. Benjamin Michael Rivera was born in Columbia, Missouri to my brother, Luis (Chispo), and his wife, Jennifer @ 6:47 PM (CST) weighing a mighty healthy 8 lbs. 12 oz. Big boy! It is only the 4th boy in the new generation (I have 2 and my sister, Naty, has the other 1 boy) as this seems to be a GIRL POWER family with 8 nieces. I guess that started with our family where I am one of 7 children, the middle of 5 girls. But boys, girls ... whatever. It doesn't matter at all one bit. They're all just darn cool! And we are stoked!! Congrats brother & sis-in-law!!
