YAY for the Perez Family!

We just heard the news and we are so excited for you guys to come home!

October Fun in NY

October was such a fun month!! We loved the visit from Leah and Amelia. We had a great time. Now, we can't wait to see Lucy and Lizzy.


Here we are at the Stage Deli after a big day on the town. We had Matzah Ball soup (now that's a big matzah ball!), pastrami on rye, and a pickle - a very traditional New York meal.


The famous piano at FAO Schwartz toy store
"I LOVE FAO Schwartz!!"
Coordinating Sunday outfits - how cute!

Elle, picking out her first pumpkin

We decided to dress up as hippies for halloween. Amazingly, we had everything we needed at home. We pulled together things from our costume box, army box, souvenir box, etc. Some people thought that Elle was borderline hippie/gypsy. One of us is wearing a wig, the other isn't. Can you guess which one is which?

Winter Has Arrived!

We had a fun last saturday hanging out with the Masoners.
We took a tour of their new house
and the kids got to see Lizzie for the first time.

Davis is so self- reliant. He wanted a peice of gum
and didn't see any need to ask for help. He pushed his high chair
over to the cupboard, and climbed up to open the doors.
He is always willing to take his chances!

The gang holding Lizzie.

We woke up to snow this morning!
Forget white Christmas,
it looks like we are going to
have a white Halloween this year.

EXTREME MAKEOVER HOME EDITION

Zach and I were lucky enough to live a few blocks away from the extreme makeover house! It was CRAZY 24-7! we couldn't believe how many trailers, coolers, and people were there! Here are a few pics from it!


The previous Pauni House






The Maddness on 4th East


I was able to work at the house from 12:00 am to 4 am! I served food to the workers, put some rocks on the house, and sealed the heat ducts. Pretty exciting!









The New GIGANTIC Pauni house

I couldn't resist!

I know I keep posting pictures of Lucy...but she is just so cute! This was taken this morning.
Now that it is summer we have to use a hat. She thinks she is su cute.When she gets a little bored inside we put her in the hallway leading to our house. She loves to look at the trees and the birds.
Here we are modeling new dresses for summer.

What a doll!

A New York State of mind

Leah and I had such a fun little trip to Long Island (pronounced "Lon GIland"). Here we are getting ready to hit the town with little Elle.

What a trooper! We traveled all over NYC with Elle straped in the Moby. What a great invention!

Here we are at the Met. One of the most incredible experiences of my life to see all of those artifacts.

I wonder where Elle gets her "left eye" from???

Upper East side Family. "James...bring the car 'round...Thank you so much."

Leah and Elle meeting for the first time

Here's my first snuggle with her. What a sweetie!

Happy Mother's Day!

Here we are on my very first Mother's day. In Argentina they celebrate Mother's day on the third Sunday in October. It was a very beautiful spring day, and I felt so lucky to have Lucy.

When I got home from church, Cesar surprised me and had these wonderful flowers delivered. All in all it was a great day!

Long live Che Guevara

Today is the anniversary of the asassination of Che Guevara. Just thought you all might want to know.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Che_Guevara

Enough about Che. We wanted to say how much fun it is to see everyone on the blog. All the recent pictures are so adorable. The grandkids are getting so big it is crazy. It makes us so excited to get to the states. We had to get the interview changed due to Argentina's great filing system and not being able to find the actual document in time. But maybe it is for the better, as we will have more evidence in our favor. Anyway here are two little pictures of Lucy taken just moments ago. She is laughing more and more and is always so smiley. When we get a little discouraged we just play with Luz and she makes us forget about everything. We love and miss you all....Melissa, Cesar and Lulu

What a sweet smile! She loves to play with Mr. Spider.

Amber and Zach's Day with the Low kids in Hooper

Leah and Josh let us take the kids to a fun filled day in Hooper. We ate pizza and played with the puppies, and enjoyed some pretty funny moments in the car.

Bootsie took over the camera

Future Homecoming Queen

Ethan, Tanner, and Sofia named the puppies, I think the names ended up being Anthony, Danny, David, Ashley, and John

Gabe's Birthday vids

I liked the rendition, but Eleanor - not so much.





We invited an eclectic group over for a birthday party. We had lots of fun! We love our upstairs neighbors, the Valenzuelas. They are from Santiago, Chile.

Eleanor's 4 months

We just our computer back from the shop. It was weird not having a computer for a while - but nice to disconnect from technology and take a break. Elle and Lucy turned 4 and 3 months last Friday. Elle tells us that she is ecstatic about her newest cousin, Lizzy!

Elle started flight lessons last week.

Gabe's office at North Shore University Hosptial. Rank has its privileges: a tiny corner closet/office with no window or door - ouch.


Look closely: the Adria Hotel! This is in Bayside Queens.


Elle, on her 4-month birthday


It's my party, and I'll cry if I want to.


Elle found out about her toes and can't get enough of them.
