Friends and Family,

It is time to start a new blog with Sean's Adventures.
Sean has grown from being our baby boy to a very active Toddler.
With this change, we decided to change it up and create a new blog.

We will do our best to update regularly.

Love you all!  Thank you for your continued support!
We have been blessed with a healthy and happy boy!

Sean is turning 2!

It feels like it has been forever since my last Blog entry.  We have been busy with life and simply enjoying time with our boy.  Time is certainly going fast, but we are doing our best to enjoy every moment with Sean as he is changing and growing so quickly.
Sean is turning 2 on June 29th!  It's so hard to believe that it's been 2 years since his birth.  Sean is talking.  He says one to two words at a time and will repeat a lot of words we say.
We love it when he wakes up from his nap and yells, "Mom!"  We love it when he gets home from the day at his Grandparents and says, "Daddy!" with so much joy to see his Daddy.
It's amazing how much we love our boy.  He is sweet and friendly.  Did I mention polite too?  He says, "Thank you", but he is still working on saying, "Please".
Sean loves going to the park and meeting new friends.  He loves being read to.  He loves going for walks and he LOVES his family.
Sean likes Thomas the Train and anything related to the CARS movie.  He called Lightning McQueen, "Caro" which is car in Portuguese.
Sean likes cars, trains and airplanes.
He loves taking walks and can point out so many things like, trees, clouds, grass, flowers, leaves and the moon.  He loves being outdoors!  We are looking forward to taking him camping.
We are blessed by Sean and by being his "Mom and Daddy".  A child is a GIFT from GOD.  For me...(Sean's Mom), he has been the best gift.  We are so grateful for Sean.  We absolutely adore him even when he acts like an almost 2 year old.  We know it's a stage and we remind ourselves, "this too shall pass".
We love and adore you Sean Riley!  Thank YOU for coming into our lives!  You are the best son!  Thank you for bringing us so much joy and love into our lives.  Thank you for helping us grow as parents.  We have learned a lot in the last couple of years, but we have a long journey ahead of us.  We are looking forward to raising you and guiding you in this life.  God bless you son!   Happy Birthday!

Sean is learning how to swim!

Sean began taking swim lessons last Saturday.  Lessons are on Saturday mornings for the a total of 8 weeks. He loves the water and spending time with Daddy in the pool!


We have had an eventful Memorial Day weekend.  Sean went to the Children's Discovery Museum and Happy Hollow Park & Zoo for the first time.   He had a blast!  

We also visited Santa Clara's Farmer's Market for the first time as a family.  Sean enjoyed the music and the free fresh fruit samples...Yum!   Strawberries, plums, nectarines and cherries!  We are looking for to all the yummy fruit this Summer.

Mother's Day 2013

This was an incredibly special Mother's Day.  It was wonderful to spend time with family.  Sean enjoyed his visit from cousin Stephanie, Aunt Linda and Uncle Stan in the afternoon.

In the morning, Sean enjoyed his walk with Mommy and Daddy in the neighborhood and to the nearby Toddler park.  Sean spoke with Grandma Harriet on the way home from the park and wished her a Happy Mother's Day!  

In the evening, we had dinner with Avo, Avo, Tia Valeria, Tio Steve, Derek and Bryce at a favorite local restaurant.

Mommy ended the evening by reading to Sean and Sean attempting to read to Mommy.  Sean fell peacefully asleep after his bottle.

What an incredible blessing to be Sean's Mommy!  Sean is the most wonderful gift that I have ever received.

Thank God for such a beautiful and healthy "baby" boy.

I love being Sean's Mommy!

Being Sean's Mommy & Daddy is so much fun!

Sean is becoming more and more active.  He loves playing, dancing, singing, walking, going to the park, meeting new friends, discovering new things...

At the moment...at 22 months, he really enjoys playing with his cars and with Thomas the Train.

We took Sean to Santa Cruz last weekend.  We took a walk on West Cliff Drive.  It was a beautiful overcast morning.  From there, we went to the Wharf and had lunch at Stagnaro Brothers.  Sean had a great view of an aquarium.  He was in awe of all the fishes in the aquarium....yellow, blue and red fish.

We are enjoying being Sean's Mommy & Daddy.  He's our sweet boy and we love him!

Sean says "Thank you" alot.  We are so proud of him!

"Peese & Tank you" - Our boy has manners!

Our boy is learning his manners.  He says "Peese" and "Tank you".  We are so proud of Sean!  How blessed we are to be not only be parents, but Sean's parents.

We are incredibly grateful for how well he is doing.  Sean has become very active.  He loves playing and being outdoors.

We are looking forward to a fun Spring & Summer with our boy.

Last weekend, we went to Uncle Stan's for dinner to celebrate his birthday.  It was great to be around family.  Aunt Linda made an absolutely delicious Mexican dinner.  As always, her cooking was "out of this world!"   Sean enjoyed playing with Cousin Stephanie, Grandma Harriet & Grandpa Richard.  We all loved the German Chocolate cake Grandma Harriet made for Uncle Stan!   Yum...yum!
