Routines

After all that has gone on, I felt it was important to stay on routine as much as possible for Andrea. Of course that was difficult to do with all the chaos going on, but I feel like we managed fairly well. Our routine is completely different now than it was before April 18th, but we are all adjusting. Joaquin is a good baby, and Andrea is an amazing big sister.

I often sit and wonder what life would be like had Gabriel been around. He would have been one, and most likely sleeping through the night, but I can't imagine life without my little Joaquin. I'm sure that they would have looked very similar, and while I will never compare the two, I'm sure God gave me a glimpse of what Gabriel would be like by giving me Joaquin. I love both of my sons so much, and I miss my Gabe more than ever, but I know he is always with us. I know he is always there watching over Andy and JJ. I'll never forget...
