Happy Easter! He is Risen!

Things have been busy in the Sotomayor household, but that's nothing new. We spent the month of March enjoying the spring weather, and wishing it would last forever. But I know the heat is just around the corner and it will be here before we know it. We went up to Pinetop again for a couple of days, and it felt weird leaving the sun and heading for the snow during spring break. All in all it was nice to get away and spend some time together. I did learn though, Luca is not a fan of the snow.
This weekend we celebrated Easter. Luca left church singing "Jesus is alive". I love that we are part of such an amazing church that has such an awesome children's ministry with such a God focus. I know it is still our responsibility as parents to be in the Word with him and teaching him to follow Christ, but it helps to know that we have the support of our church as we raise him. Not only that, but he spends his days in a loving Christian daycare that also pours into him with the love of Christ. I know that by the time he reaches public school he will have a firm foundation in Christ, and that is invaluable.
This little guy is quite the pistol these days, and way too smart. He is stubborn, impatient, and wants things his way or no way. He is a control freak, and kind of demanding. He is his mother's son. So, getting an Easter picture was nearly impossible, despite lots of attempts at negotiating.

Dear Luca

Dear Baby Boy,
Can I even call you that anymore? You are growing into such a little man. It was so great spending this last week with you, and I hate to see tomorrow come, but summer will be here soon! You are so funny, and you always have us laughing. You absolutely love singing to toddler radio in the car, which we learned on our trip to Pinetop last week. Your favorite songs remain Wheels on the Bus and Five Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed. I need to catch you singing and doing the motions on video! You and Tevez have recently realized that you can be fun playmates, and playing ball with Tevez always has you laughing. I love watching you guys together. You are also just a sweetie, and when you called out from the backseat today "I love you momma" I turned to mush. I love you baby boy. And you will always be my baby boy.

Love Momma
