Great Week!

Emma at her check-up
Sami excited about her award

It was a pretty sweet week. I wrapped up shooting a short-comedy, Sami is on summer break and Emma is officially caught up with her age bracket! This is great news! I mean, everything that happened was pretty sweet but Emma finally being where's she suppose to be is quite amazing.

Most of my close family and friends--and people who read my blogs--know that Emma came early. She has been pretty tiny for the most part. The difference was pretty obvious when she was around babies her age. I remember whispering to my mom once when I saw a baby at a family party, "that baby is huge!" The reality of that though is the baby was quite normal for her age, as a matter of fact, I think Sami was bigger than her at that age. I was just so use to having a tiny baby. Emma's baby clothes were always one to two months behind her actual age. For example: Emma was six months, wearing three months. When Emma turned one she barely fit into twelve months. I remember on her birthday invites I put that she fit into eighteen months thinking she'd soon stretch; that didn't happen for quite sometime. After she turned one, and we took away the bottle, I'm not sure what happened but that's when we finally started noticing her beginning to really stretch. She's still slim but very long. We took her for her check up this week and her doctor right away mentioned how much she'd grown. I guess she did have some crazy little growth spurt and it wasn't just us imaging it. I asked her doctor right away if Emma had finally caught up to her age group, her doctor said she was right was she was suppose to be. She is no longer on the preemie scale. I can't begin to tell you how amazing this news felt. I knew it would happen eventually, I just didn't expect for it to happen so soon! 

By the way, not to take away from Sami accomplishments as well, she was the only kid in all of the second grade to receive an academic award in language arts. I am so proud of her! I volunteered in her class every Friday and would quiz the kids on their reading comprehension each week. She was always one of the top readers in the class. I am so proud of my baby girl and all her accomplishments. She'll be starting third grade in August. I'm pretty excited for her and her new adventures to come.

It'Ah Really Is Ah His Birthday!!

This year Mr.Andrade turned the big 3-0. Being the hard worker that he is, he worked on his freaking birthday! I tried to plan something big and extravagant since he was turning 30 but, no dice. Mr. Andrade is a mellow dude when it comes to birthdays so, I had to cave and go with his wishes. Not totally might I add hehehe. The night started with a nice little romantic dinner for two at Frida's in Beverly Hills. The place is very small and very cozy. We enjoyed our meals and service. He had Carnitas and I had Enchiladas Tapatio. To drink I had a Chamoy Margararita and he had a Jack and Coke. Everyone was very friendly and the atmosphere was very low key. Guaranteed we will hit up that spot again. After dinner we went off to meet up with family and friends at a cool little spot called Down & Out. I instantly loved it! Their decor consisted of celebrity mug shots and pin up pictures. Mr. Andrade seemed to like it also, which is what mattered since we were there for him. It w...

Shit! It's been a hot minute since the last time I blogged about anything. Much has happened since I blogged, but I don't feel like getting into it, at least not today. Main reason being is I'm lazy, but happy I was finally able to get my blog back. I had been locked out for over a year. Well, not locked out, but I think my main domain got hacked. If you try to access sandoogans.com it'll take you to some asian website. It is partially my fault because apparently I failed to update my card to have my domain automatically renew. When I tried to get back in, I was able to view my blogs on my end, but it was no longer accesible for me to share. Glad to back, see ya again in a year. Just kidding, just kidding, maybe.

New Year, New You?

New Year, new me. Ehhhhh j/k First off, happy New Year! I hope everyone had a great time ringing it in. It was a very low key one for us this time around. We spent it at the parental units house, with my brother, uncle and cousin. It was nice and chill. We played some board game and ended the night with an intense couple of games of UNO. This year I decided not to do any resolutions. I usually don't anyway but had started up with them a couple of years ago. I don't buy the hype of "new year, new you" bullshit. I feel you don't have to wait for a New Year to make changes in your life that you feel need improvement. If you're about that life, props to you, I'm just not one of them. I had already started making minor changes prior to the New Year anyway. I've been staying off of facebook a lot lately. I'm not anti-facebook, or anything, it's just it was consuming a lot of my time. I was going to bed feeling guilty, about not spending more ...
