In Rodeo I had mates who barley designed it with the aid of High Your education and some others who MBA’s. Pro sports usually do not treatment far too substantially about training, they treatment how beneficial you will be for the sport.

She will have been going to preschool – albeit [...]

Our first daughter, Alexia, is mispronounced and mispelled in both languages so I guess it didn’t work out with her. People call her Alexis most of the time and can’t figure out whether to spell her nickname, Lexi, as Lexie, Lexy or how we spell it, Lexi.
If we ever have a boy it will be probably named Joaquin, despite the fact that no one in my English only speaking family will ever spell or say it right… But since we are planning to have another girl in July we are trying to find something we can agree on. My husband suggests names like Gloria which I can’t stand. And I like names like Jordan but don’t want her to be called Hordan by his family… I like lots of hispanic names like Marisol, or Cecilia, but don’t want the name automatically shortened to Mari or Ceci… We have considered Lucia like someone mentioned above- but I don’t want Lexi and Lucy. I even considered Roxana but don’t want Lexi and Roxy. So we are still undecided and considernig Solana (which everyone seems to want to shorten) or Naomi which really isn’t a hispanic name unless we change it to Noemi. Good luck on this big decision! The poor kids are stuck with it for life, lol!

I get) and I use a hyphen for the last names on my children too! they even have middle name and still some people think that my last name is their first last name, go figure!!

You need to come to Denver… I was surprised… I never thought Miguel could be mispronounced by so many people….

You might not remember – although I’m pretty sure I told you – but before Vanessa was born, and because I was convinced I was having a boy (something about mother’s instinct, NOT!) I had chosen Santiago Miguel as his name…so you know I love that name!

I promise I’ll let everyone know what I’m having soon…

I didn’t even get into the two last names thing because that would’ve taken the whole post! I didn’t take my husband’s last name when we got married, so our daughter has both her father’s last name and mine, the way we do it in Latin America. To avoid the issue of my husband’s last name being confused for Vanessa’s middle name, I used a hyphen. So far, we’ve been okay…

Alexandra is my middle name and I love it and all its variations. Unfortunately, it has already been taken by other members of the family…
