17 years later, I would still pick the same man, t 17 years later, I would still pick the same man, the same dress, and the same venue. 17 years, 2 countries, 4 kids, I lost track of how many moves, and one pandemic later, we are still here, and we are doing fine and looking forward to the next 17 years. If there is one thing that the pandemic taught me, is that I chose the right guy to form a family with. ❤️ #anniversary #aniversario #family #familia #nestinginchicago #wedding #boda
He is always so happy to follow them! When I share He is always so happy to follow them! When I shared that I was expecting my fourth son, many thought I was crazy, and a few asked me how I was going to have time for everything. The thing with younger siblings is that they are raised by a whole family, not only by the parents. He has all five of us wrapped around his finger. And loving on him every minute of every day. ¡Es tan feliz siguiéndoles! Cuando conté que iba a tener mi cuarto niño, muchos me dijeron que estaba loca, que cómo iba a tener tiempo para todo. El secreto de los hermanos pequeños es que no los crían solo los padres, sino que los cría la familia entera. Nos tiene a los cinco atontados, y quererle es lo mejor que nos ha pasado en el último año y medio. #brothers #hermanos #momoffourboys #cuatrimadre #malamadre #nestinginchicago #pobes #spain #españa #basquecountry #paísvasco #backhome
These two are 13 years apart. I was worried that t These two are 13 years apart. I was worried that they would have trouble bonding due to the huge gap. But I was wrong. They love each other to pieces, and they illuminate each other’s world. Se llevan trece años. Me preocupaba que no fueran a conectar por la diferencia de edad. Pero estaba equivocada. ¡Se adoran, e iluminan el mundo del otro! #brothers #hermanos #love #madrid #spain #españa #13years #teenager #toddler #brotherlylove #nestinginchicago @pikacho813
These two really know how to live the life. The la These two really know how to live the life. The last night at the hotel we took a quick look to the rooftop terrace, and it was stunning, with breathtaking views. It was our first vacation as a family of six, and it was a success that allowed us much needed disconnection from work, and quality time with my beloved aunt. We’ll be back. 🏖🇪🇸🚅 Estos dos sí que saben vivir bien. El último día en el hotel subimos a ver la terraza, que es espectacular, como el resto, y tiene unas vistas increíbles. Ha sido la primera vez que hemos ido de vacaciones desde que nació el pequeño, y ha sido un éxito total. Hemos desconectado, y hemos podido pasar tiempo con mi tía. Volveremos 🙂 #vacation #vacaciones #viajarconniños #travelingwithkids #malaga #elsur #andalucia #andalusia #greathotels @granhotelmiramar
