Valerie Jeanette Tuck was born May 8th. Victoria and Brandon (and baby Ammon) have a brand new baby in the house! I can't believe it, none of us can! Little Valerie has flaming red hair just like her auntie Heather. 
Valerie is the picture of perfection! She is so tiny when you are accustomed to the chunky rolls of Mila, who by the way, is going to start crawling any day now! and the adorable little pudge of Ammon. Valerie is a petite little 7lb doll. Craddling her in our arms is so amazing. Life is precious. 

Several days this past week Savannah was with us while her parents went to a conference. Heather loved being the oldest and "big aunt" Heather took the girls downstairs to play in the grass while I created a dino nugget land dinner table. They came inside and were mind blown by the insanity on the dining room table filled with a volcano made of mashed potatoes, several swmaps of mac and cheese, broccli forest, strawberry and apple trees, along with several other food creations for dino nuggets to explore. I added a couple of big dino's for exctement. Each of the girls were given a fork and told to just "dig in" 

Mila joined the girls for an afternoon of "twinsy" dress up and pictures. I have my fingers crossed that we can find a newborn size of the same outfit so all 5 of the little kids can get a picture in the same outfit. - it is adorable! 

Heather is doing great still. We had to cancel her neurologist appointment and I need to get it rescheduled. I am hopeful we can do a video appointment. We leave for Puerto Rico in 2 weeks and have a lot to do. There isn't really anything we need to change or talk about, so its just a pat on the head appointment and making sure we have our medications right now. There are some things we need to take care of, but not just before we leave for the summer.  Heather is excited to hit the sky. She has a full agenda for the first week. I am not sure what her plans are for the rest of the summer if she packs it all in so quickly. I am sure the agenda is because her sister and cousin are going to be with us at that time. She is an adrenaline seeker for sure. 

Grace is doing great. She is doing amazing with her spanish fluency. She watches Bluey in spanish, she loves Canticos and we read lots of bilingual books. It is really helping all of us. I think Grace may be fully fluent before any of us! 

I was a little surprised when I picked Grace up from preschool and saw her "about me" posted she listed Savage Daughter as her favorite song. (honestly, I died a little inside, but it could have been so much worse) I fully expected it to be something like La Vaca Lola or Bartalito. Savaga Daughter???!! I mean, she does know every word and sings it at the top of her lungs, but its been a while, she also loves Delta Dawn, and Jolene,

I worried most about Heather catching on with spanish, she  is doing great. I bought an online program and that was the key.  I think part of it is the fella teaching it is cute. - whatever it takes right? 

Thats about it really.. New baby, grandbabies stayover, Heather is solid and stable at the moment, Grace and Heather are rocking our the spanish- and we know its only been a couple of months that we have been in the states, but we are counting down the days(15) until we head back to the island!
