School's here!
Well, 5 months since the last post. We had a great summer! Went to Disneyland and Legoland, and even Mazatlan and Mexico City! Now, school's back - Raulito is going to KINDERGARTEN! He's such a big kid now! We're looking forward to some cooler weather to come (not really wanting rain yet, just a little cooler...)
Our bamboo is growing up in the back and we look forward to more backyard time. The garden this summer was interesting - not so many tomatoes, LOTS of cucumbers!
Sofia will be 2 in just a few short weeks, and then Raul will be 5 in December... Birthday party plans are fully in the works!
Hope to see you soon!

It's Q2
Raul says the blog must be changed... "Afterall, we're going into Q2." Really - too much work!
Hey, NFL Draft weekend... making Raul think about the next Steelers season. how many months away is that?!
Vegie planting has begun... Peas, spinach, lettuce, okra, cucumbers... hope they all grow, and I'm totally into sharing you know!
and here come May - hopefully a new trip to D-land (our code for the land of Disney) and I sure hope I get into that new Small World! I've been wanting to see it, was told it's so good, dazzling even!
Well, welcome Spring '09! We've been waiting for you to arrive.

Holidays 2008
Dear Family & Friends,
So, I just want to know - does time go by exponentially faster when you add just one more child to your family? Or is it just me? I cannot believe it. It was just yesterday that it was 2007, wasn't it? Hmmm.
We are still so blessed to have 2 wonderful, beautiful, healthy children! Raulito turns 4 this month and has grown to 45” tall and at least 45 lbs too. He attends pre-school 3 days a week and really enjoys his friends and even doing homework. (yes - homework for Pre-Kindergarten!) Sofia had her first birthday in October, and started walking December 1! She takes after her brother in growing like a weed - already 31" tall. She is a real little go-er and definitely has her opinions on what she wants. She's also quite a little crack-up, and has the best smile.
Our family lost out this year, when our little cocker spaniel, Chico, passed away in February. He was starting to show his age pretty fast, so it wasn't a total surprise, but still was a blow. (Thank you to Abuelita Leti & neighbor Raynelle for all they did during that time!) Raul & I miss him a lot.
Our family travels this year have been a little closer to home, while Raul has had some business travels taking him literally to the other side of the world! We went up to Northern California several times this year, including February for Nonna Lil's birthday and a trip up to Tahoe for some REAL snow (I don't know how many feet there were, but it was WAY above our heads and even the cabin roof!) We took 2 wedding trips in April, for the nuptials of friends Rob & Alyssa in Napa, and Craig & Abby in Madison, Wisconsin. Sofia was baptized in Mexico City in May, with a side trip up to San Miguel de Allende. If you've never been, we completely recommend it - a lovely town with a great colonial feel, but still a small town.
We've visited with Nonna Lil, and Abuelita Leti here at our house a lot, and visited Grandpa Raul, Shari & Michael on our trips up north this year.
Raúl changed positions with Akamai Technologies at the beginning of the year, taking on an international territory. He visited offices (and made friends) in London, Madrid, Munich (including during Oktoberfest), Paris, Mexico City, Monterrey, Mexico, and Bangalore, India! Unfortunately, Akamai made some hard decisions and changes in November, so Raul is now looking for a better position elsewhere... A Majestic Affair, Wedding Planning and Coordination Services, has still been on hold, but since we know where we are going to be for a while, I have high hopes for a more active 2009.
This, our family website is kept pretty up-to-date with photo albums of the kids and a current note or 2 in our blogs. We also both got on Facebook this year, which makes it so easy to keep up with friends and their goings-on... If you do FB too, look us up!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Our friends are often on our minds and we hope all is well with you now and long into 2009.
With love,
The Dejú Family –
