Medina Family Practice

So after the girls finish up their soccer careers, we've decided they should become doctors. Don't they look cute and so professional?

Girls

The girls are starting to play together more and more these days. Here are a few shots of their favorite activities.

Playing in the cabinets.
Naked plane rides???

Sitting in anything that seems to hug.

Hallway cruising.

Hugging... such girls.

Sitting in soccer goals. One day they'll learn to just put the ball in the net.

Doing Papa's hair. Make pretty eyes, Ofelia!

SHE'S OK!!!

So Christmas night turned into our first trip to the ER. Sofi is fine! Her cold got progressively worse throughout the day and she was wheezing pretty good. She sounded a lot like one of those squeeky dog toys. Mike and I are both asthmatic, so we were a little concerned. Luckily, Aunt Sue got a new stethoscope for Christmas and tried it out on Sofi. She said we should at least call our doc to see about taking her in for a breathing treatment. We called and they sent us into Children's Hospital. Lucky for us it's pretty close to home! So at about 930 we arrived in the ER. They did a breathing treatment and Sofi sounded a lot better. We even left with our own nebulizer! Children's was great. The doctors were super friendly, and Sofi and Ofelia even left with a Christmas present.

This picture is a little sad... brace yourself.

Christmas Night

Guess who found the Muddy Buddies?! Doesn't she look guilty? We went to Aunt Sue and Uncle Mario's Christmas night.
Some of the family enjoying lasagna, tamales, and conversation.

Poor Sara tore every ligament in her ankle for Christmas. Ouch!

Not feeling great, but still managing to open presents.

Wondering where her muddy buddies went.

Christmas Day

We went to Grandpa Ron's and Grandma Gina's Christmas afternoon. I didn't have the camera out like I should have. The girls had a blast playing with their cousins Emmy and Adrian. Her are a couple of present shots.
Sofi's cold was getting worse, so Ofelia was in charge of smiling.

Christmas Morning

Someone asked Sofi what she wanted for Christmas this year and Sofi said, "to open presents!" Well, the big day finally came for her and Ofelia. Our tree was surrounded. Here's a before chaos shot.
Ofelia was very excited to open more stuff. She had lots of practice the night before.

Sofi was a little machine by this point.

A quick pose.

Ofelia was super excited about her new avion, but couldn't bring herself to part with the Froot Loops.

A pic of me.

Sofi and Ofelia's new room! Complete with a door! A rare find in a loft.

Tio Tony brought his gift over later that morning. Both girls were quick to learn what to do with their new drum set.

Tony and Ofelia testing their skillz.

Sofi with the new loft size art station.

Practicing for this summer.

I knew Sofi was tired when she asked to take a nap. She also wasn't feeling very well.

Santa!

This year we took the girls to see Santa! Sofi kind of knows he brings presents or something, but is more afraid of the guy than anything. Both kids managed to hold it together for these pictures, but we definitely need to work on group shots. I guess we'll get more practice next Christmas.
