Our Children :)

And today I want to share this little present from Natalie with you :)
I can't even describe what I feel when she comes to me with these kinds or little treasures. She says: I made this for you Mommy! And then she knows that I am going to hug and kiss her and say that she is the most wonderful Artist in the whole world. Being a parent is a very hard thing sometimes but these little moments are worth all the hard work. I am so lucky to be the Mom of Natalie and Diego!

Tomorrow we are going to participate in an important walk over here to raise money for the research about Autism. Bill and I are proud to announce that with the help of lots of wonderful friends here in Hollywood we have raised over $20.000. Diego inspired our friends and relatives to donate money to this important cause and we want to thank each one of them for their generosity. Go Diego go!!!!!

Have a wonderful weekend and see you on Monday with the news about the winner of the little bag!

Gracias Elsita, has alegrado mi día!!! realmente ser padres es muy dificil!!!! No sabia que tenía exactamente Diego, solo lo intuía por tus comentarios. Debe ser muy dificíl ser padre en esa situación. Yo misma tengo una niña con un leve retraso madurativo y me vuelvo loca para entenderle y me mata los nervios. Ya tiene dos años y medio y solo dice papá. Pero tu le pones tanto coraje, tanta alegría, que finalmente puedes ver los pequeños placeres de este menester... bueno, perodona el comentario, es que realmente hoy no era mi día.
Gracias por compartir con nosotros.
Un beso gordo.

Natalie you are such an amazing artist and I love the drawings you did of yourself and your mom. I love the colors you used and that you only gave your mom one extra jewel on her crown. I think you are growing up with a wonderful sense of yourself and how you fit into your family and the big wide world. Have fun on the walk with your family tomorrow and don't forget the sunscreen and water. You should ask your mom or dad if you can take some photographs of the walk . I would love to see the event through your eyes. :) Margie

those are adorable! i love kids drawings. I love that they haven't lost that inhibition of drawing whatever they imagine. As grown ups, sometimes we feel like we have to be perfect, but I think it's good to keep that little child in us. My little sister and I (she's 9) we send each other a letter once a month and it's filled with all sorts of goodies. She always draws me something and writes poems- and they are my most treasured gifts :) Congrats on raising so much money- that is really awesome!!!!

Wow!!! To everything in that post. The drawings are beautiful, I can see how they must melt your heart! And as for raising that much money - that is truly inspiring. Well done Diego - and well done to you too :)
