https://winnieviews.blogspot.com/2015/07/inspired-invigorated-at-starved-rock.html
A Girl's Guide to RVing. The Gear We Love! Thursday, July 2, 2015. Inspired and Invigorated at Starved Rock. After my hectic first week back in Illinois in early May (which culminated in a insurance fiasco. Every time I return to the Midwest from a winter spent in the desert southwest, I desperately crave what the desert lacks—water, and the color green! A few years ago, the Springtime Ozarks. Just 100 miles southwest of Chicago on the Illinois river, would do the trick! And to have my senses put in order.

Delatorre Days: January 2014
http://ameliadelatorre.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html
Wednesday, January 15, 2014. We had a fun and busy December this year! We went to Galveston for the Festival of Lights at Moody Gardens, did some Christmas caroling in the neighborhood and had family visit us! Ed's company has an annual Family Day and this year it was at Moody Gardens. We spent 2 days there (so impressed with the hotel that we're planning another trip before long! Reaction then said something along the lines of "well that's an unusual request! Our neighbor organized a Christmas caroling ...

http://ameliadelatorre.blogspot.com/2014/11/juliet-turns-3_11.html
Tuesday, November 11, 2014. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO JULIET! Juliet turned 3 and is STILL as sweet as can be. She loves all things girly - baby dollies, hair bows and dresses. Oh my goodness, the girl MUST wear a dress every day (at night it's a nightgown! She's been asking to start ballet lessons and now that she's 3 (and I don't have to do a mommy and me class), she can start! She is SO SO SO excited about this! She loves to sing! The words are always wrong but she has the sweetest little voice. We visited De...

Sunday, June 2, 2013. Friday was Amelia's last day of her Pre-K program at Primrose! She'll do various camps through the summer then she's off to Kindergarten at the end of August. Saturday was the big graduation - complete with caps and gowns and a program of songs. Sisters posing in front of the roses before we left the house. With her sweet friend Kendall. With Nina. The 2 of them are T-R-O-U-B-L-E! At school they were never allowed to sit together as they goofed around too much. Van der Meer Family.

Delatorre Days: May 2013
http://ameliadelatorre.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html
Wednesday, May 15, 2013. Juliet 18 Months Old. I can't call her a baby anymore, can I? Juliet is now 18 months old and is such a fun little kid now! She's just so happy and still has the sunniest disposition ever. At her last checkup, everything looked great. She's in the 65th percentile for height and only 45th for weight. All that eating and she's skinny - where does it go? Bus (usually with lots of exclamation points - buses are really exiting! Dog (always with a bark afterwards). She loves to eat!

This Speech Was Banned | Rare Mom
https://raremom.com/2014/09/10/this-speech-was-banned
Sienna’s Flower Garden. September 10, 2014. This Speech Was Banned. I used to be afraid to speak in public. I was set to give a new speech this Friday. It was a new challenge and one I have never taken on before: speaking to Sienna’s class of 4-year-olds about Sienna and FOP. For the first time in a long time, I was a little nervous about a speech. What would it be like to speak to a room full of 4-year-olds? Would they sit still? Would someone get my joke and volunteer that they have X-ray vision? There...

Delatorre Days: March 2013

Sunday, March 24, 2013. Not the Happiest Baby. I always say that Juliet is the happiest baby with no complaints, and every day is the best day ever. Well, apparently I was wrong! Some of my best friends came to spend a weekend with us a few weeks ago, including Kristy and 10mo old Avery. Avery was THE HAPPIEST BABY on the whole planet! Juliet was not impressed and was grumpy the whole weekend. We maybe got 3 smiles out of her. She didn't want Avery anywhere near her toys or even me! Even with a cute hair...

Delatorre Days: February 2013
http://ameliadelatorre.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
Monday, February 25, 2013. Yesterday I lost a crown off my molar during lunch. I was able to save it before swallowing it (ICK! But then ran crying to Ed like a child, saying OhMyGod OhMyGod OhMyGod, while feeling all sorts of pain, then some anger at the dentist. Teeth just gross me out to no end.shudder. Anyway, Amelia comes over to give me a hug and says "Don't be upset, Mommy. This means the Tooth Fairy is coming! She was so sweet and SO. How does she get in the house? Are they coins or paper money?
